Bountiful Valley Farm
This is a walk through exhibit area. The exhibits
are all easily accessible.
Golden Dreams
Dispersed seating is located in the front and back
rows. Enter the theater through the doors at the far left or far right for those
seats.
Both ALS and reflective captioning are available.
Seasons of the Vine
Enter through the standard queue. Seating is
on the ends of the benches inside the theater. Reflective captioning is
available.
Grizzly River Run
Enter through the standard queue. Be on the look
out for a gate on your right hand side that displays the wheelchair logo.
Proceed through the gate down to the loading area. You may need to get a cast members attention once you arrive at the loading station.
Unlike the raft rides found at Magic Mountain or
Knott's Berry Farm, the boarding here is easy, convenient, and fast. Disney
adopted a method of boarding similar to Test Track in Epcot Center.

Empty loading area preparing to capture a raft.
A raft is pulled off to the side of the main
attraction channel and you are given all the time you need to board, without
needing to rush or delaying the standard queue.

Boarding the captured raft. Note the raft
passing behind.
The dock is designed in a way that reduces the
amount of raft you have to step over to board. The inflated "tube"
slides under the dock lip, placing the boarding cutout right next to you. It is
even possible, with a little work, to do a straight transfer to the step and
then to the seat, without having to stand.
"It's Tough to be a Bug!"
Enter the attraction through the standard
queue.
There is an important warning for guests with
nervous-system problems or people with sensitive backs. If this doesn't apply to
you or you don't want to have a special effect spoiled for you, skip this next
paragraph:
There is an effect used in "It's Tough
to be a Bug!" which is meant to feel like you have been stung by a
hornet. It's a mild effect, using air pressure to blow a small plastic rod out
of a hole in the seat back. Most people will not be bothered by this. As someone
with MS, I can tell you that it may be enough of you problems. Not to mention the fact that this
happens while the theater has gone black, causing further equilibrium problems.
I suggest sitting on the edge of your seat as soon as you hear the hornets
buzzing.
ALS and Reflective Captioning are offered here.
Mission Tortilla Factory
The queue is accessible and most of the exhibit is
readily visible from a wheelchair.
Redwood Creek Challenge Trail
Enter though the gate at the entrance. There is a
marked wheelchair-accessible path at ground level, and ramps to some of the
second-story areas.

The
ramp ford is at the lower right. Note the rocks on the left.
There is even a ramp that allows you to ford a
stream as other guests cross using rocks.
Ahwahnee Camp Circle
The two lower levels of seating are accessible.
Those using wheelchairs can only access the circle from the lower section of the
Challenge area.
Soarin' Over California
Enter through the standard queue. The ramps down to the loading area
are a bit steep. The line will frequently stop in the middle of the ramp,
makicle is straight forward. However, if you have difficulty holding yourself
upright, you may want to pass on this ride. The only restraint is a single
lap-belt.
The Boudin Bakery
The queue is accessible and most of the exhibit is
readily visible from a wheelchair. Cast members do not always assist in crowd
control, so be aware that you may be end up trying to see the exhibits through
the people in front of you.
