Where Service Dogs are Prohibited at Disneyland and Disney World

If you are planning a trip with your service dog to Disneyland or Disney World, you need to be aware that not all attractions permit a service animal.  This is for the safety of both the service animal and other guests.  Below is a list of attractions that do NOT allow service animals.

Besides not going on the attraction, you have two other options.  The first is that you utilize Disney’s Rider Switch service in which one person in your party stays behind with the service animal and then they ride after the rest of the party returns.  The second option is to use the park-provided crates located at the boarding area of the attractions that offer them.
