Tips on What to Bring

Experts agree that it’s important to plan before heading out for a day of fun with a loved one or friend with special needs. Planning can help travelers with physical or cognitive disabilities get the most of their experience. To that end, it’s a good idea to bring the following items on your adventures:

  • Backpacks
  • Appropriate clothing for the temperature
  • Hand sanitizer and wipes
  • Sunscreen
  • Reusable water bottles
  • Snacks
  • Ear plugs or sound-canceling headphones for anyone who’s sensitive to sounds

Travel tip: You can bring your own water bottles to theme parks and fill them up at water fountains. You can also get free water cups from the parks’ quick-service restaurants. Additionally, many theme parks permit prepacked snacks for families traveling with children.

Restaurants

Many restaurants in Orlando are especially welcoming for guests with physical disabilities, with amenities such as wheelchair-level tables and spaces between tables that are wide enough to fit wheelchairs. Many venues also have bathrooms that can accommodate wheelchairs. What’s more, service animals are permitted at all Orlando eateries.

Numerous Orlando restaurants also offer private rooms that are ideal for guests with cognitive disabilities. Check with your preferred restaurants ahead of your visit for details and availability.

Transportation

Select shuttle services at Orlando’s theme parks and hotels, ground-transportation providers such as Mears Transportation Group, and rental-car services such as Enterprise Rent-A-Car have numerous vehicles that can accommodate visitors with special needs. Rail transportation, including the SunRail commuter train service and the upcoming Brightline high-speed rail service, can also accommodate wheelchairs, as well as service animals, as can bus services such as the I-Ride Trolley and LYNX. Check with your preferred service for details.

Discover: Orlando Transportation

At Orlando International Airport (MCO), the Sunflower Lanyard Program enables passengers to self-identify to staff that they have a hidden disability, providing an extra layer of assistance to those who might require it. The lanyards are available at the third-level information booths in the main terminal and are available to travelers free of charge. This program is also expected to be available at Orlando Sanford International Airport (SFB) in the near future.

While the lanyards do provide a discreet signal to employees, wearing a lanyard does not guarantee fast tracking through security or any preferential TSA treatment. Passengers are encouraged to arrange any special assistance needed with their airline and TSA Cares, which provides additional assistance during the security-screening process to travelers with disabilities, medical conditions and other special circumstances.

Guests with special needs can have a great time at Orlando’s theme parks, including those at Walt Disney World® Resort, Universal Orlando Resort, SeaWorld® Orlando and LEGOLAND® Florida Resort. However, going in the morning, taking a break and then coming back at night is usually the best option to avoid the hottest time of day, as well as crowds.
