I want to thank you and others who’ve expressed this so well - this thread has been weirdly and appreciatively therapeutic to me! As someone whose disability isn’t developmental and entered my life without warning, AND whose daily life rarely encounters triggers, the severity of my symptoms at...

^ That, right there. ::yes:: Anyone new here, this is your PSA: over the next 8 months, you’re gonna see a bunch of Floridians and other southerners complain a lot. It’s okay - that’s an integral part of our heat accommodation strategy. As a trade off, we exercise great restraint in not...

I should probably just stay out of this entirely, but I’m feeling feisty, so… :rotfl: I’ve been doing these WDW races a long time now. I’ve seen all sorts of changes in PoT requirements, corrals, etc. NOTHING has made any difference in crowding. Back when everyone without a PoT was put into...

@lanejudy got it here… So if your next visit isn’t happening until, say, May 29, I’d just wait until May 20 (actually, I’d wait a couple more days if you can, because I suspect May 20 could be nuts with calls!) to do the virtual call, and then you’d be set for 120 days. But if you want to...

I’m an AP and just renewed, though in person at a park. Up until May 20, the renewal lasts 30 days - so the couple days I was just there were included, but also any additional days I feel like visiting up to that 30-day point. But with your last week of May plan, you’d need to do the virtual...

A question that few will probably run into, but I’m throwing it in the ring in case anyone calling over the next few weeks happens to have the same situation! (I don’t want to clog up the lines calling myself, when I don’t have a need yet.) Has anyone received information about how DAS users...

I just wanted to say that I understand what you’re saying about judgment: talking about my “condition” (IDK what else to call it at this point - I guess it falls under the “and similar” verbiage WDW is using) in detail is extraordinarily difficult with someone who is an expert on the subject...

Tofu - I use it cut into squares and wok-fried for stir-frying and to top soups, and crumbled and scrambled with vegetables like eggs. Beans of all kinds - canned or dried, I always have a bunch on hand Tempeh Seitan Eggs Peanut and almond butters Avocado Broccoli Eggplant Spinach Brussels...

You mean like how I used my DAS to ride, meant to book another ride when I disembarked, but went to find a restroom first, then got distracted and sat in the shade eating a snack, received a text message to respond to, thought I should also check email while I was there, and so on until by the...

I happened to be parked in front of them and spent the walk in to the start chatting, and then also happened to finish near them and spent the walk back to our cars together… which was extra awesome because I was in full Dark Side SW dress! Security made him check the backpack, unfortunately, so...

So, I’ve been at WDW the past 2 days as a solo local… I’m not at all sure if the reason I’ve used DAS the past few years will qualify under the new rules or not: it’s not physical, nor is it autism or a DD. Is it “severe” enough under whatever new guidelines Len’s contacts indicate??? I had a...

Quick update from the parks that isn’t much of an update… I renewed my DAS at a blue umbrella in person today. Same as it ever was: CM pulled up whatever they have on file for me, asked me to briefly explain why I need it, I gave my usual explanation, and it was done. He DID ask me “have you...

10K corral C with a 316xx bib. Same pace estimate as 4 friends who got B. I’m usually luckier than that, so I guess it’s my turn to take one for the team lol! Y’all… it’s HOT, right??? Or am I just old and unable to handle it anymore?! Went to EP from about 11a-2p and then the expo - legit...

Just a little PSA from a local: HYDRATE, push those electrolytes, and be heat aware! While the races don’t look particularly challenging (though keep in mind, this is coming from a Floridian who needs a sweater when the temp dips below 75 lol!), park time outdoors in the heat and sun can...

:hug: I’m so very sorry.

This is just my own opinion, but it’s based on 30+ years of observation and usage as a WDW regular… FP wasn't significantly better. FP+ was about on par with G+. All 3 created issues with crowding and congestion, as people who previously would have been steadily moving (as in, not standing in...

Right? It’s SO much easier to stick to the rules when you don’t have a public spectacle in the mix. I worked in banking and I can’t tell you how many customers got a better interest rate simply by being loud. :headache:

I’m not at all familiar with DLR - are you saying that the DAS request spot will be outside of the parks’ entry? I saw someone indicate that DAS requests in the parks would still be via video chat, but conducted in a private room via tablet - I assumed that was for WDW and DLR, but didn’t pay...

I am convinced that this is the reason for changing to video calls only: to mostly* eliminate any scenes from public view. Speaking from the perspective of one who’s had to manage irate customers in a much less busy, but still public, space, being able to just hit “End Call” would have been a...

Also a heavy sweater - and live and run in FL, so my earbuds definitely get WET! I’ve been using these since Jan and haven’t had any issues yet. I dry them off and clean the exterior with rubbing alcohol, then leave them out of the charging case for an hour or so after use, just to be sure no...
