Walt Disney World Disability Information
Guests with disabilities have many options available to them when visiting either a Disney resort or Disney theme park. Almost all of the Disney attractions, restaurants, shops, and shows are accessible to guests with disabilities. There is a guide available at all theme parks where the maps are located and at Guest Relations locations which provides a complete list of the services available for guests with disabilities. This information is also available on the My Disney Experience app.
All locations at Walt Disney World (theme parks and resorts) have available parking for guests with disabilities. You must have a valid parking permit displayed in order to park in these areas.
