Vertigo Meets Disney Parks — Disneyland Park
Everything you need to know about going to Disneyland Park with vertigo and motion sickness.
Disneyland was designed to be a place for people of all ages and backgrounds to embrace the magic. They take pride in their accessibility options and welcoming “all who come to this happy place.” If you or a loved one lives with vertigo, you know the struggle of having to plan ahead and research what rides and transportation methods are feasible and ones you should avoid. Here’s our in-depth list of ratings for Disneyland Park attractions based on their motion sickness ride-ability and tips to get the most out of the park.
Rating Scale: 1-10 (1: still riding the ride an hour later (iykyk) - red flag, avoid)
(10: Can walk a straight line to next attraction - good to go)
*Chicken Exits refer to the point in the queue a guest can exit the line, meaning you can stay in line all the way to this point and then tell a cast member you won’t be riding and they will tell you where to exit. All attractions have some sort of chicken exit so guests who may not want to ride can stay with their party and enjoy the queue.
Please note: We are not licensed to give medical advice or liable for these suggestions. Information is based on the personal experience of a Disney vacation with an immediate family member with vertigo. Every person’s vertigo is different and no one knows your health condition better than you. Please consult a doctor prior to your trip if you have questions about your health.

Alice in Wonderland
Rating: 7.5/10, be mindful, but you’ll be okay!
Description: Slow, forward-moving ride, mostly dark, twists and turns but never jarring, lots to look at but not over-stimulating.
Alternative: Alice, Mad Hatter, Peter Pan, and Captain Hook often roam Fantasyland, which makes this the perfect time to grab a photo!
Chicken Exit: Where guests board the vehicle. This queue is an ordinary line with not much to look at, so don’t feel you need to experience it.
