Service Animals

Disneyland has tons of resources available for guests with disabilities or special needs, including care centers, ECV rentals, and even accommodations for service animals.

Disney defines a service animal as a dog or miniature horse specifically trained to support an individual with a disability, and service animals must wear their vests at all times in the parks. Service animals can go anywhere at the resort, with the exception of thrill rides and their queues. These restricted areas are:

Disneyland

• Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
• Gadget’s Go Coaster
• Indiana Jones Adventure
• Matterhorn Bobsleds
• Space Mountain
• Splash Mountain
• Star Tours – The Adventures Continue

California Adventure

• California Screamin’

• Grizzly River Run
• Jumpin’ Jellyfish
• Mater’s Junkyard Jamboree

• Tuck and Roll’s Drive ’Em Buggies

Both Disneyland and California Adventure have rest/relief areas for service animals, located in quieter sections away from the crowds.
