Disney Parks can be great places for someone with a power wheelchair to enjoy the various characters roaming around the park, rides that you can drive your chair onto, and parades and performances.

If you have a desire to drive with Duchenne muscular dystrophy or be a passenger in a wheelchair-accessible vehicle, there are plenty of opportunities to make that dream a reality.
