Do disabled children get into Disneyland for free?

Betty, Disneyland does not offer free entrance to caregivers of special needs children. In order for both of you to enter the parks, you would need to purchase a valid ticket for either park. Prior to doing that, you should check out the Theme Park Reservation Calendar to ensure the availability of entry to the parks.
