ing in the rain, it is good to have a second pair of shoes to switch off every night at
the hotel, allowing 24 hours to dry…. Bringing a small fan to the room also paid off,
drying shoes and jackets that got wet on Splash Mountain and Grizzly River Run.
If you get caught in an unexpected downpour, raingear can be purchased at a
number of shops. Whatever you do, don't flee for the parking trams during a sudden
thunderstorm, or you may find yourself in an unpleasant scene like this mother of two
from Los Angeles:
It was pouring rain and the park rapidly emptied out with everyone heading for the
trams that take you to the parking structure. There was complete chaos by the tram
loading area [with] hundreds of people pushing and shoving—desperate to get on
a tram and get out of there. The trams were arriving very sporadically and tempers
were rising.
Instead, wait out the storm inside a self-paced indoor attraction, such as
Great
Moments with Mr. Lincoln,
Main Street Cinema, or Innoventions at Disneyland Park,
and Boudin bakery tour, Blue Sky Cellar, or Disney Animation at DCA.
VISITORS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS
DISABLED VISITORS

deposit is required. Note that wheelchairs and electric convenience vehicles rented in-

wheelchairs which may be taken through the Downtown Disney district are available
to rent at the three Disneyland Resort hotels.
Most rides, shows, attractions, restrooms, and restaurants are engineered to ac-
commodate the disabled. For specific inquiries call 714-781-7290. If you have an
impairment that makes it difficult for you to stand in line and navigate stairs, or oth-
erwise need special assistance, go to City Hall on Main Street in Disneyland Park or
Guest Relations in the entrance plaza at DCA and ask for a Guest Assistance Card.
These passes are free and available for the disabled visitor and up to five addition-
al guests. You should not have to show a doctor's note or proof of disability, but the
card does
not
entitle you to skip the lines at attractions, as a traveler from Santa Clara
notes:
Keep in mind that the Guest Assistance Pass will not necessarily cut down the time
that you have to wait to board a given ride, but it will provide you with a more ac-
cessible way to board.
For guests with visual or auditory impairments, digital audio and Braille guides,
assistive listening devices, captioning, and sign language services are also available
