UCF Rosen College Student Accessibility Comments:

Orlando International Airport is fully accessible within itself; all gates and terminals are accessible through ramp, wide walkways and elevators. All bathrooms have a minimum of one wheelchair accessible stall and the bathrooms are located conveniently through the terminals. Access to the public transportation is clearly marked and simple to navigate. For those Disney Resort Guests utilizing Disney's Magical Express, there is a luggage tag that they can print prior to the flight that identifies their bags to be collected by Disney cast members and transported to the hotel without the guests having to go through the baggage claim process.

There are multiple shuttle and taxi services, all with individual contact information. These include Mears, Disney's Magical Express and Diamond Cab Co. Mears features both roll-in and power lift options, and must be arranged prior or wait times vary (See Transportation Tab - Mears). Disney's Magical Express has accessible vans that have power lifts as well as ramps. Diamond Cab Co. features power lifts and ramps as well.  Access to the public transportation options are fully accessible from the plane through the gate all the way through baggage claim and the curbside pickup via ramps and elevators.

Most flight information will require calling 2 weeks in advance. Taxi services such as Mears and Diamond Cab Co. are subject to availability and will need to be called at least 3 days in advance. Disney's Magical Express will provide wheelchair accessible shuttles as long as you've indicated a necessity within your Disney Resort Reservation.

Estimated Fares: Varies by service, Disney's Magical Express Complimentary with Resort stay. Taxi services average $66 to Disney and $55 to Universal.

Booking your Hotel Room

Booking a hotel room online is convenient, but more often than not it results in arriving to the hotel only to find out they did not properly reserve an accessible room, or even worse - they have no accessible rooms in the hotel. Before booking a hotel room, we recommend reviewing our extensive list of certified Orlando hotels plus a directory of wheelchair accessible hotels in and around Orlando. When booking a hotel room, WCJ highly recommends the following:

• Call the hotel directly and "block" your wheelchair accessible room for the desired dates of travel.
• Have the hotel email or fax you a confirmation, noting the accessible room and bring this with you at check-in.
• Call the hotel directly 24-48 hours in advance of your arrival to re-confirm your wheelchair accessible room.

When calling the nationwide reservations call center for many hotel chains, they do not have the ability to "block" wheelchair accessible rooms with individual hotel properties. We recommend you call the hotel directly, and speak to the front desk to properly reserve and block your accessible guest room.

Wheelchair Accessible Airport Transfers

Many of the Orlando hotels and resorts provide wheelchair accessible shuttle services from the airport. Some resorts provide this airport transfer service at no charge while others charge a small fee. You should ask when you call for your reservation. Also check out our Transportation tab which provides additional accessible transportation options.
