Tips for finding resources at the Disneyland Resort

By Kayte Deioma, About.com

Parking. The Disney Resort has several parking lots and the Mickey and Friends parking structure. The lots may seem closer, but you have to walk farther. If you park in the Mickey and Friends structure, there's a tram that takes you right to the park entrance. Bring cash for parking. This is the only area that doesn't take credit or ATM cards. You pay for parking when you enter. All the parking lots are vast. Write down where you parked.

Cash and currency exchange: There are multiple ATMs in both parks and Downtown Disney. There is also currency exchange available at Thomas Cook in Downtown Disney. However, most restaurants and shops at the Disney Resort take credit cards and the exchange rates are usually better on credit card transactions. Some credit cards now charge a fee for transactions in a different currency, so check your cards before you travel. All Disney venues also take travelers checks.

Guest Relations. The main Guest Relations window is located to the left of the entrance to California Adventure near the lockers and restrooms. There is an Information Center located in City Hall in Disneyland. At both of these locations you can purchase Tours, make dinner reservations, pick up foreign language maps and brochures, get other park information and file complaints. There are additional information kiosks outside the gates near the tram stops.

Lockers are located in both parks and in between the two. In Disneyland, lockers are located halfway down Main Street past the Cinema on the right. In California Adventure the lockers are just inside the gate on the right. Lockers are automated and can be paid for with a credit card or cash. You will be given a locker code that you can use to access your locker all day. The website says there are five locker sizes, but we only saw two, one that was $5 and a larger one for $7. The $7 locker is about 12 x 24 x 24 inches. We were able to put a small soft-sided cooler and jackets for 5 people in one locker.

Lost and Found is located near Guest Relations outside California Adventure. This is where all the glasses, hats and keys end up that fall off on rides or are turned in to staff around the park.

Kennels. If you are traveling with a pet, an indoor kennel is to the right of the Disneyland main entrance. Check the Disneyland web site for restrictions.

Accessibility

Wheel chairs, and electric convenience vehicles (ECVs) are available for rent inside the gate of both parks. Manual wheel chairs are $8, ECVs $35, both require a $20 deposit.

Closed Captioning Activators are available for some rides and can be picked up at the Guest Relations window left of the California Adventure entrance.

Assistive Listening Receivers can also be picked up at the Guest Relations window.

The accessibility of specific rides is marked on the park maps.
