The famous Disneyland attraction, It’s A Small World, adds dolls in wheelchairs.
At Disney Parks, the diversity of our cast members and guests and their perspectives about the world inspire us to keep our parks, experiences, and products in a constant state of becoming — becoming more vibrant, more inclusive, more delightful, and more relevant.

While the ride has special boats designed to accommodate guests who use wheelchairs, it was the first time in Disneyland’s 67-year history that an attraction has included a character in a wheelchair.
It took more than six months to design and create the dolls, with collaboration by a Disney unit in charge of park accessibility.
The new characters will remain after the seasonal decor is removed sometime in January. Similar dolls will be added next year to “It’s a Small World” rides at Walt Disney World in Florida and Disneyland Paris.
