One of my favorite things at Walt Disney World are the parades. It is a great opportunity to take a break and grab a snack. Plus if you are limited on the amounts of attractions you can ride its a great way to spend the afternoon or evening and see some great characters.
Walt Disney World has designated areas for wheelchairs along all of the parade routes. The areas are marked on the guide maps you pick up at the front of the park and the disabled guest guide maps you can pick up at guest services. The symbol marking where the wheelchair areas are located is red with a P and the International Wheelchair Symbol. This does not mean this is the only place you can view the parade but I find it to be more comfortable because you don’t have so many people standing around you.
My biggest piece of advice is to get there early, especially if you want a good view from the front. The wheelchair areas tend to fill up fast and there are only so many spots. We usually get there about 40 to 30 minutes early, depending on crowd levels.
As with most things I have encountered at Disney, they go out of there way to make things as accessible as they can be. There is always a cast member at the wheelchair parade areas making sure as many people as possible can fit and entertaining everyone while they wait. If you are lucky enough to be up front you will be rewarded with some great character interaction. Below are some of my favorite parade viewing spots in Walt Disney World.
1. Celebrate a Dream Come True – Liberty Square Area
2. Main Street Electrical Parade – The hub in front of Cinderella Castle
3. Mickey’s Jammin’ Jungle Parade – Africa
4. Pixar Pals Countdown to Fun – Near the Sorcerer’s Hat
