Does Disney ask for proof of disability?

Do I need to bring proof of a disability/special need to Disneyland? No, you do not need proof of your disability at Disney parks in the United States (but the rules can be different at international Disney parks). Disneyland takes guests at their word and doesn't have the legal right to ask for it.
