2020 & 2021 Walt Disney World® Tickets & Hotels Now Available! 
We offer the best rates available. 
When it comes to planning a trip to Disney World, we try to provide you with as many resources as possible so you can spend more time having fun at the parks. One of the most amazing things about choosing Disney World for your frogtastic family vacation is that the parks and hotels offer amazing accommodations and assists for families traveling with a special needs child or adult.
Every family is unique — and your needs may vary from someone else's, so we've created a list of every ride in the theme parks — and how each attraction accommodates disabled guests. Not everyone looks for the same things when planning a trip to "The Most Magical Place on Earth" and the rest of the World too.
If you have a disabled member in your group, you’ll definitely need to know what kind of disability access is available for each of Disney World's attractions. You should also know what kinds of accommodations that can be made for your family to fully enjoy the parks. We’ve put together a list of disability access for Disney World attractions to make your planning a little easier! Ready to get a hop on things? You can skip down to the park you are most interested in — or just keep reading!
And if you're looking for the lowdown on Disney's disability access program, called the DAS, check out our overview of Disney's Disability Access Services Card. Now let's move on to the rides and other attractions!
