Rent mobility equipment in Disneyland

This fantastic show lights up the sky every night at Disneyland. Dancing fountains, fire, lasers, special effects, and a huge projection screen made of water fountains shows the Disney story and features your favorite Disney and Pixar characters. The music is awesome and the atmosphere electric. World of Color is well worth staying up after your bedtime for, even if you’ve had a long day in the parks (it starts at 9:00 p.m., so you won’t really have to stay up that late). This is a traditional Disneyland parade with a twist, and it is so much fun.

Located in the Disneyland California Adventure Park, the World of Color show is standing room only, and you can stay in your wheelchair or electric scooter to enjoy it. As with any parade or show at Disney parks, you’ll want to get there early to stake out your spot as these shows get really busy.

This classic ride inspired the series of movies featuring Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow, and over the years bits and pieces have been added to the Pirates of the Caribbean ride that reflect the popularity of his character. Despite this, the ride still has a vintage feel that’s really cool to experience (it was built in 1967 and is one of the most lavish attractions every built at Disneyland or any theme park anywhere). You ride in a boat through tunnels and caverns that tell the story of the pirates, and it is thrilling and spooky and fabulous all at once. The attention to detail and special effects that are used to help tell the tale immerse you fully in the experience, and it is easy to see why so many people adore this classic ride.

In terms of wheelchair accessibility, you will need to transfer from your wheelchair or scooter rental into the boats, but these have regular seats as opposed to the types you’d find in a real rowboat, so it shouldn’t prove too difficult (and staff are there to assist guests).

Disneyland offers many dining experiences that range from Mickey Mouse shaped waffles, pretzels, and ice cream to extravagant fine dining with a Disneyfied twist. Carthay Circle Restaurant and Lounge at Disneyland California Adventure Park pays homage to the golden age of Hollywood with its gorgeous lounge and archival photos decking the walls. The restaurant serves up excellent cocktails to go with the beautiful food, and the menu features eclectic Southern Californian flavors that rely on fresh local ingredients. There may be a Mickey Mouse decal on your napkin, but the food here is comparable with fine restaurants in any major city.

The restaurant and lounge are fully accessible, but like any other sit down dining experience at Disney you need to make sure you’ve booked a table in advance (just turn up and you’ll likely get turned away). Pro tip: Ask for a table on the balcony and you’ll be treated to a view of Cinderella’s Castle. Get the timing right and you can enjoy the nightly fireworks with your coffee and dessert.

This fun and laid-back ride is an original part of the park, dating back to 1955. Jungle Cruise takes you on a ride through Africa, Asia, and South America, with a guide explaining the (mechanical) animals you encounter along the way, from angry hippos to hungry lions, gorillas to tigers, and there’s even a headhunter that you need to watch out for. This isn’t exactly a thrill-ride, but it’s a lot of fun whether you’re aged 3 or 93. What adds to the fun is the guides on each ride, who have a full repertoire of jokes and stories to tell, leading to lots of laughs when you’re onboard.

Fully accessible, you can board this ride in your Disneyland wheelchair or electric scooter rental - and because it is one of the older rides, you’ll often find there’s little to no line-up to get on, which is refreshing as line-ups at many rides can be a bit ridiculous.
