Walt Disney World

Hi. My name is Priscilla and I'm Derek's wife. I want to help by giving you information that might ease your fear of traveling. I feel that anyone can travel, you just have to know what to expect when you get to your destination.

Traveling in the United States is no problem for people with disabilities. The United States is 100% accessible.  We want to give you some information on places that we have gone to since my husbands injury that can make it easy for you to get around.

Derek mentioned that we went to Walt Disney World...Disney World Resorts have wheelchair accessible rooms with roll-in showers.  When you get to the park go to Guest Relations at any of the parks and you can get a Guest Assistance Card (GAC)for up to 6 people.

This pass does not guarantee that you will not wait in a line but you won't wait  in the longer lines, just go up to the front and show your pass and they will let you in the short line. This pass does NOT work for the Meet and Greet.

Not all rides are wheelchair accessible but they do have some that if you can't leave your wheelchair you can go right in with it. You can get a wheelchair accessible map, also available at Guest Relations and it shows all the rides and tells you which one fits for you.

If you rather rent a wheelchair at the parks then this link helps with that information.

First Aid: If you start to feel sick or need medical assistance there are first aid centers at ALL parks. Nurses are available during normal park operating hours. They offer bandages, over-the-counter medications and other quick remedies.

Urgent Care: If you need to go to an urgent care facility there is one close to the Disney Parks: Centra Care Lake Buena Vista Phone: (407) 934-2273
