      Easy to get the multi park tickets from Attraction tickets before going on your holiday. When you arrive at your holiday destination and go to the park (regardl SD of which one) you only need to queue once to get your access ticket but once this is done you can go straight through and only need to scan it when you enter the park. It is the same card for all Disney parks and if you have the Universal Studios booking this is a separate card for access. By booking via Attraction tickets I was able to purchase them gradually when money was saved so helped getting it all paid over each month before going away. Magic Kingdom is an amazing place, loads of rides, shops and excellent places to eat or get snacks. There are several rides for people in wheelchairs although some you need to transfer from either electric to manual plus from wheelchair to ride.

      Booked a multi park tickets via Attraction tickets several months before our holiday. It was easy to do and allowed me to spread the cost before going. I purchased tickets as and when I had saved the money. Once you arrive at your first park you redeem your park access tickets (one covers all your Disney parks and separate ticket for Universal Studios). Once this is done you can go straight to the entrance every time you go to a ark, scan and go into the park. Epcot has loads of rides, several people in wheelchairs can go on ( although some you have to transfer onto the ride). Be prepared to have sore feet as there is a lot of walking.

      Easy to purchase multi park tickets from Attraction tickets. I purchased this several months before our holiday allowing me to pay before we departed. You can spread the cost by purchasing one at a time if you want. On arrival at your first day at any park you just need to provide your booking details from Attraction tickets and you are given a credit size entrance tickets which is used for entrance to all parks (separate one is needed if you are going to Universal Studios) but all work the same. Animal Kingdom has several rides and live shows (the Lion King is my favourite). They do have rides that people in their wheelchairs can go on but they are mostly need to transfer onto rides.

      Getting tickets before my holiday from Attraction tickets was a lot better. You can purchased different items at different times splitting the cost as and when you have the money. The multi park tickets is really handy, you only have to queue once at the ticket office then you are given a credit sign card which you scan every time you enter a Disney Park. Disney Hollywood park is amazing with loads of rides and excitement live shows but be prepared to walk a lot and on occasions wait in a queue. Many rides are open to people in wheelchairs but you may have to transfer from electric to manual and in some from that onto a ride.
