I am wondering how the seating is designed at the Aladdin theater for those in wheelchairs? If it is bad, is it possible to use a SAP and walk out of the wheelchair to enter the theater to get a better seat?
Thanks in advance!

Actually, the wheelchair row is the very last row on the first level (what I'd call the orchastra if there was one) and the views are 'perfect' if you have more than one or two people with you they might ask them to sit in the row directly in front of you to allow each guest in a wheelchair to have at least one of their group with them. They will allow you to transfer out of your chair and store it during the performance if you ask.

The last time I went with a wheelchair they made us wait in the whole of the Orchestra line and good luck getting a seat! They use to let the wheel chairs in first.

When was that?
We went a couple of weeks ago, and we rode up in the elevator with another group who had someone in a wheelchair. They stopped on the mezzanine level. As we sat down, I noticed that they had parked the wheelchair to the side, and the person who was in the wheelchair was escorted to where the rest of his group was sitting. This was all before the general public was let in.
I'd say that for Aladdin, the better view is in the mezzanine, not the orchestra.

It was about 3 months ago, and for the Orcestra level. I like it better there.

Sorry, I should have worded my response better. I prefer the mezzanine because I think it provides a better overall view, especially with the flying carpet. I can see how the orchestra is better for a close-up view. I've only seen the show twice, both from the mezzanine. I'll have to try the orchestra sometime.

Oh, that's OK, I knew what you meant. I hear people say it is better to see the carpet, but I like to see the stage better. Deffinatly worth trying it from both places. I have, but every person has their own prefrences.
