Visiting Disneyland with a disability

by Anna
(The Special Life)




Disneyland has a great reputation for supporting people with disabilities in many ways. They even do a lot of charitable work to sponsor kids with disabilities to Disneyland that otherwise wouldn't be able to go.

That's why it's so surprising to me that they don't offer an actual discount on admission price.

I talked to a family recently that had a great experience there. The most important thing for them is that they received a special pass that allowed them to go to the front of the line for Disneyland rides, as well as other attractions.

As their daughter is severely autistic and not able to tolerate long waiting times well, this was a huge benefit to the family. It's actually what made their family visit possible.

This kind of benefit can mean a lot - especially in the heat. Anything that can get vulnerable out of a hot line-up is a good thing. And Disneyland benefits from not having to contend with people who are sick on the grounds.

I'm interested in knowing about your experiences in visiting Disneyland with a disability too. Pictures would be especially welcome!

We can all benefit from each others experiences.

Cheaper admission to Disneyland under this program
by: Anonymous

We just went to Disneyland in CA with $30/person admission under Disney's "Community Involvement Program". The $30/person includes the free parking too. We ordered the tickets last October through our supporting group (CPAD). My son with Autism is their member. I heard Regional Center can also order the tickets. The booking time is normally in Oct/Nov. The entrace period is in Jan/Feb. The price is getting higher every year. $5 higher every year.

Wish we could!

Hi, I agree with you me and my friends have what's called intellectual disabilities. We want a disability discount for all theme parks across california.
