Hollywood Studios: A Symbol Guide For Guest Mobility Access At Attractions
4 min read
Below is a revised version of the Disney symbol guide for Disney’s Hollywood Studios. It depicts the accessibility of their attractions for Guests needing mobility access. In like manner, the pictorial meanings are the same. However, my version adds color and text to each symbol. Hence, making it easier to read and understand.
Let’s begin with this post about attractions at Hollywood Studios. Additionally, I’ve created individual guides for the other Disney theme parks. These include the Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Hopefully, you’ll find them helpful in enhancing your overall experience.
First, please review my symbol “Guide To WDW Attractions For Those Requiring Mobility Access” Accordingly, consider this your starting point. Then, begin to truly understand how to enjoy all that Disney World offers for guests regarding mobility access.
My Goal Is To Make This Hollywood Studios Symbol Guide Simple Plus Easier To View On A Mobile Device
Above all, my goal is to make this Hollywood Studios symbol guide simple. Attraction conditions constantly change, so what’s done today may change tomorrow. Therefore, Disney has included references relating to Mobility Access in most but not all attraction guide dialogs.
I will do the same. However, my version will be easier to view on a mobile device. For this reason, I’ll keep it brief and use a few abbreviations in my symbol guide. For instance, Mobility Access: will be MA: and a Cast Member is CM.
Accordingly, you’ll often notice MA: See a CM in my symbol guide. However, take heed because Cast Members may often suggest other options. For example, by making available a Transfer Device, Transfer Practice Vehicle, or Transfer Access Vehicle.
Even stopping a moving walkway for safer access could be employed. As a result, these alternatives, when possible, may make it easier to experience the attractions at Hollywood Studios. But, most importantly, a Cast Member will get you where you should go safely and efficiently.
There Are Two Guest Relations Locations At Hollywood Studios
Hollywood Studios has two Guest Relations locations. One is at the park entrance window before you go into the park. The other is located immediately on the left after passing through the park entrance.
I’ve Started Reviewing Some Of The Attractions In More Detail Regarding Mobility Access And The Symbol Guide
I’ve started reviewing some of the attractions in more detail and writing about them. The Magic Kingdom is the park I chose to begin with because it’s the park I first visited years ago. I have a sentimental attachment to it. Thus, I’ll be focusing my efforts here for now.
Click on any attraction link highlighted in blue, which designates those I’ve documented. Accordingly, it will direct you to a review of that attraction regarding mobility access and the symbol guide. Eventually, I plan to review all the attractions at the four Disney theme parks. However, it will take some time but keep checking my progress.
