I have been to Disneyland twice with Charlie the amazing seizure-alert service dog. Both times have been brilliant experiences. Disneyland
has phenomenal customer service and employee training and I am thrilled to report that every interaction with a Disney employee was amazing. I was never discriminated against
because I had a service dog. I actually saw about 5 or 6 other service
dogs in the park during the 4 days we were there.What do I do when I get to Disneyland?
When going to Disneyland with a service animal it is very important to check in at Guest Services (at Disneyland I believe Guest Services is in California Adventure on the left hand side right when you enter the park). The park likes to know you are there and gives you a special pass to assist with waiting in lines. Disney doesn't want the dogs to have to wait in the lines so you get to enter through the handicap line to ride the rides. Brilliant. This pass allows you and 5 other people access onto the ride.

What do you do with your service dog while riding the ride?
Well someone in your party has to stay with the dog while you ride the ride. When you get back that person can then ride the ride.
On some rides you can bring your service dog with you. Charlie rode almost all children rides (Small World, Peter Pan, Wild Toad, Sleeping Beauty, etc) and he even was allowed on the Haunted Mansion and Pirates of the Caribbean. So fun. The service dog has to lay down at your feet while riding the ride.
Overall, Disneyland was a blast with my family. We rang in the New Year at Disney and just had an amazing time.
One of our trips to Disneyland was during the horrendously busy Christmas time. For Christmas my parents gave
the whole family a trip to Disneyland! Charlie and I met my family at
the Long Beach airport and were so excited to see all of them. Counting
myself and nieces and nephews and in-laws I believe there was 16 of us
total (2 were MIA as they couldn't get work off, my bro-in-law Aaron and
my hubby Paul--sad for them). How do you get 16 people from the airport
to the hotel if the hotel doesn't offer a shuttle from the airport and
you don't need to or want to rent lots of cars? By traveling in a
quadruple stretched hummer limo---that's how!
Charlie wasn't so sure about the Disney Characters.
