![]() ![]() Part of the other reason we enjoy staying at the Disneyland Hotel is because of all the great on-property Disneyland perks like the Disneyland Hotels Early Entry benefit.Īgain, I visit Disneyland frequently to report for so I have been through the entire routine of getting up early for the parks quite often to make use of and test our Disneyland morning strategy and Disney California Adventure morning strategy. My grandmother looked out at that and first made a grimace but after watching for awhile added, “I almost wish I had enough nerve to go on the roller coaster because…I can yell and scream with the best of them and it looks like everyone is happy to do that.” After that comment though, she looked back at the coaster launching and made a final comment – “Ugh! I don’t think I would.” She Was Impressed With the Quality of Entertainment in Every Corner of the Park We didn’t warn her about a final pivotal moment of the ride and though she was unsurprisingly shocked about our escape method, she could handle all of it.įor one meal, we sat at brunch at the Lamplight Lounge (as I detail further into the article) and watched the Incredicoaster launching. Getting off of Rise of the Resistance she was just amazed with the attraction. ![]() Even though it had been intense, she shared how she could see the work that went into building the impressive attraction. At the end, she remarked, “That was about as much as I can take”. I almost dropped my phone shooting video on the ride as she grabbed for my hand. On Radiator Springs Racers, she gripped my arm for the entirety of the outdoor race scene. We just did it.” She Conquered Many of the Newest Attractions Save For a FewĪfter initially being weary of even going up and down on Dumbo, she experienced many of the newest attractions from Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance and Cars Land’s Radiator Springs Racers. It’s the one ride that when we came to the park we would always go on it two or three times. She reflected after getting off Pirates saying: “I have always loved Pirates of the Caribbean. All the same, every ride that she loved was like new thanks to Disney’s diligent upkeep.Īfter everything we enjoyed, both new and familiar, my grandmother confirmed that Pirates of the Caribbean and “it’s a Small World” remain her two favorite attractions. Though that attraction has been through numerous upgrades including a refresh that added Disney characters, the classic boat ride around the world delivers the same feeling of optimism and whimsy. “It still feels like the first time we rode it” she whispered to me as we walked off the “it’s a Small World” attraction. Her favorite attractions were just as she had left them awaiting her return. ![]() Though it had been 15 years since my grandmother went to Disneyland, so much was still the same. Nothing Beats the Classic Disneyland Attractions You can read our full guide to doing Disneyland in a wheelchair here. We opted for the Disneyland wheelchair vs the scooter because we wanted to be able to navigate crowds and not have my grandmother need to drive. ![]() At one point she insisted that she show us (and I think all of you) that she was still fit, so she pushed my younger sister in the chair for a bit before swapping back in to sit. She was comfortable doing our 12-mile-plus days walking around the parks, but also could easily pop out of the chair when she needed to transfer to a ride vehicle or wanted to take a break. The wheelchair worked out very well for us. Thankfully she agreed.Įven on the first day, it took her a moment to give in to using the chair. Though after seeing how far it was from just our Disneyland Hotel room to the first ride of the day, she got much more comfortable being pushed. In fact, before I even surprised her with the trip we made her promise that if she wanted to do big travel with us again she would have to be willing to try the wheelchair. She typically walks 1-2 miles over the course of an entire day (as tracked on her Apple Watch), but we knew that during this trip she would have to move at a faster pace. We told my grandmother that if we were going to do this trip she had to be willing to ride in a wheelchair. I should add that Disneyland days are even more strenuous when you tour the parks with my family as we take advantage of our long legs for power walking to attractions. My grandmother is completely fit and capable, but the long distances at Disneyland are challenging for even the fittest. ![]()
