Disney is proud of its proactive approach to providing services for guests with disabilities.  The company has a rich history of going beyond the minimum requirements with creative, innovative solutions that demonstrate a commitment to provide an outstanding experience for all guests.  Two examples of Disney’s innovative approach to ride accessibility include: the Magic Kingdom Park Jungle Cruise where a special lift inside the boat allows access for guests who previously would have had to transfer from their wheelchairs to ride a seat, and the Journey into Imagination with Figment at Epcot® where a fold out load/unload ramp and an innovative turntable achieve wheelchair access.
