Hey there, Kirsten here, and welcome back to part four of my miniseries, "How
Accessible is Disney World?" Today we'll be talking about Magic Kingdom. It's the
main draw; everybody comes to Disney World for Magic Kingdom. Pretty much, I
mean I don't want to generalize. But most people come to Disney World for Magic
Kingdom. It's the most popular, the most famous, everybody loves Magic Kingdom. If
you haven't yet, please go and watch my first three videos. Especially watch my
first video, the Hollywood studios one. This is where I talk about what this
series is why I'm doing it and I go into a lot more detail. I will link that
playlist up in the iCard up here, as well as the description box. Just a quick
recap, this series is talking about how accessible Disney is, and I'm breaking it
down into each individual park. I know everybody's accessibility needs are
different. There is a varied spectrum of accessibility needs out there and for
these videos I am talking about my own personal perspective and experience
based on my accessibility needs. I am personally a full time power
wheelchair user, and I am unable to transfer. Any ride or attraction that I
do, I have to be able to remain in my wheelchair. I will include a link to the
PDF of the map down in the description box below that way you can follow along
or kind of figure out what rides would be good based on your own personal
accessibility needs. So at the end of this video I will be giving the park a
grade and that grade will be based on three different things: The first will be
the rides and accessibility, the second one is the overall environment and
maneuverability, and three basically my overall experience. Let's jump into the
first part, which is talking about all the different rides and attractions.
Magic Kingdom is broken down into six different lands.
When you first walk in you are on Main Street, USA. So you can either go left to
Adventureland, or right to Tomorrowland. So the first part is Main Street, USA,
This is where you first walk in. There's a bunch of shops and food places and
only like the main ride that they have in that area is the Walt Disney World
Railroad, and that is 100% wheelchair accessible. You can remain in your chair
and this is a railroad that takes you around the like lower half of the park.
It starts in Fantasyland and it goes around to Frontierland and basically
like Main Street, USA, that stop is the like midpoint area.
Moving on from Main Street, USA, to Adventureland. I just want to quickly say
that this is on the map as being wheelchair accessible - it says you have
to transfer from a scooter to a wheelchair - but it doesn't say on the map
that you have to transfer out of that wheelchair onto this ride. But the Magic
Carpets of Aladdin ride is not wheelchair accessible. You have to be able to
transfer out of your wheelchair onto the ride. It makes it look like you can ride
in it on your in your wheelchair, but you can't. First ride in Adventureland that
is wheelchair accessible is the Jungle Cruise. And basically you ride in a boat.
It's-- you're supposed to be like in the jungle, and it's really cute, it's kind of
cheesy. But it-- you can remain in your wheelchair, they have a special boat. And
basically you drive on and it's like an elevator thing and it lowers you down.
Then there is the Enchanted Tiki Room, which is a Disney classic. It's a
live-action show. The seating is in a circle around a main stage area. Moving on
to Frontierland. This is one of the stations for the Walt Disney World
Railroad. And then also in Frontierland is the Country Bear Jamboree, which
basically it's another animatronic show. It has animatronic bears and they just
put on a concert for you. Unfortunately at the Country Bear Jamboree, the wheelchair
seating is in the front. So it is-- there's like a lot of looking up. Alright moving
on from Frontierland and into Liberty Square, and this is basically like
America, with the history of America and all that. The first attraction is the
Hall of Presidents and they have like different things that you can walk
around and look at, and then there's also like a movie, and it recaps the history
of America, and the influence of all the presidents and everything that they have
done. Luckily the wheelchair seating is in the
back of the theater, which I really like. They recently updated it with the new
president, and also with a new narrator. It used to be Morgan Freeman. They also
have a riverboat ride where you just kind of get on this big steamboat
looking thing, and it takes you around the river. It's under refurbishment right
now, I'm not exactly sure when it will be reopening. My guess is sometime in the
summer, that seems to be their theme. They close rides in the winter and then
reopen them in the summer for the busy times. It's a nice slow-paced ride and it
is 100% wheelchair accessible. Moving out of Liberty Square and into
Fantasyland. And again, there on the map I'm looking
at one of the rides, Prince Charming's Regal Carousel. It says that you have to
be able to transfer from a scooter to a wheelchair but this ride is not
wheelchair accessible. You have to be able to, again, transfer out of the
wheelchair onto the ride. I don't know why that they don't specify that. Then
there is a show, Mickey's PhilharMagic, and basically it's a 3D show. 4D
technically, because they have like little effects. It's a film and you sit
in the in the theater, and you watch it on the big screen in front of you. And
the wheelchair seating is in the back. Next is, It's A Small World, and again,
it's one of those classic Disney rides. And it's a lazy river ride and you just
basically sit in the boat and you go through all the different countries while like
little animatronic people are singing the song,
"It's A Small World." It is one hundred percent wheelchair accessible, they have a
special wheelchair boat. The next ride is called, Under the Sea: Journey of the
Little Mermaid. It's a lot like the Finding Nemo ride at Epcot. You ride in a
shell thing and you go through like the movie basically. And it's like a
condensed version of the movie. Also in Fantasyland is the other train stop for
the Walt Disney World Railroad. Another ride that they have here in Fantasyland
is The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, and basically you ride in a
honeypot through the Hundred Acre Wood. You can stay in your wheelchair. Alright
moving out of Fantasyland into the final land, Tomorrowland. And the first
attraction at Tomorrowland is the Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor. And much like
the Turtle Talk with Crush at Epcot, this is one of those interactive attractions,
and it's animatronic Monsters Inc. characters that interact with the
audience. Unfortunately the wheelchair seating is
at the front of the theater, so you're looking up at the stage area. But it is a
really funny show and I highly recommend it. Next you have the Carousel of
Progress, which again, another classic Disney show. It's an animatronic show
going through like the history of technology. And as the name suggests it's
a carousel and basically you are sitting in a theater but the whole audience area
moves around each different stage in history. Wheelchair seating for this is
in the very front and you do have to look up at the stage and it is very
inconvenient because it's a terrible view. I personally am not a huge fan of
the Carousel of Progress, so I don't go on it, but I have been on it many times.
And we have come to our final ride at Magic Kingdom, and that is Buzz
Lightyear's Space Ranger spin. I love this ride.
Seriously I love that it is wheelchair accessible. Basically you get in your
like spaceship thing they have one where you can remain
your wheelchair, and you shoot the different targets. Your main goal is just
to get a high score. It's so much fun, I love it so much. It's just one of those
rides that I look forward to every time I go to Magic Kingdom. So now that we
have talked about all the rides and attractions at Magic Kingdom, let's talk
about the environment and kind of like maneuverability around the park. Pretty
much every area of Magic Kingdom is smoothly paved. When you first arrive, and
you're going through Main Street, USA, they have like tracks for the trolley
and those are a bit hard to navigate. I get so annoyed with that. As I've
mentioned in all three videos so far, the main challenge for getting around is the
people. Anyway so now it's time for Magic Kingdom's final grade. This grade is
based on a scale of one wheel chair to five wheelchairs. One wheelchair being
it is not accessible and I did not have a good experience. Or five wheelchairs
where everything is accessible, I had an amazing experience, and I would
highly recommend. I would give Magic Kingdom four out of five wheel chairs.
Magic Kingdom really does take the cake for accessibility. There are so many
opportunities for me to be able to ride while in my wheelchair and that means a
lot. Which is why it's so disappointing that so many of their new rides are not
accessible. So we have come to the end of this miniseries. Thank you so much for
joining me. If you have any comments or questions, please do not hesitate to
leave those. I will try to answer them to the best of my ability. If you like this
