We sailed on the Dream the end of October (our 2nd Disney cruise) and the first night we noticed a difference in service. It didn't seem as attentive as on our first cruise. Several nights we didn't have our drinks refilled regularly and one night my boys ordered drinks that took quite a while...

I want to say a big Thank You to Pete too. I've had to use an ECV on our last 5 trips due to severe arthritis in both knees. I can only walk or stand for a few minutes before I'm in severe pain and reduced to tears. I've never had a problem with someone actually confronting me until this past...

We usually drive straight through (17 to 18 hours) but we have stopped in the middle before. We usually try to leave in the middle of the night so that we're hitting Bonnett Creek around 4:00. If you do decide to stop, I'd suggest packing a small duffle bag with everyone's clothes &...

Pardon me if this has been discussed before. I did a quick search but didn't find anything. Last November at Soarin', DH & I stood in line for about 40 minutes in the stand by line. Most of that time was at a gate where I think the stand by line meets the FP line (I usually don't ride Soarin'...

Like some others, I saw Avatar and it was ok. Not one of my favorites but I didn't hate it either. I'm ok with Avatarland as I can see how the message of the movie fits with the underlying message of AK. But I'm wondering about the nighttime entertainment. I thought AK always closed early...

Thanks everyone. We are looking at other companies to rent from but usually just rent from Disney just for the convenience factor. We usually arrive at RD or soon after and haven't had trouble getting one. Of course now that I've said that, I will next time we go. :rolleyes: I wouldn't mind...

Thanks Cheshire! I will be looking at off-site rentals as well.

My DH & I will be heading to WDW in November (our first trip without the kids :thumbsup2) and we just got a Disney Chase rewards card. I use an ecv in the parks due to severe arthritis in both knees. Will we get reward points if we use our Disney card to rent the ecv? It's not a big deal if...

We subscribed last year and I had made customized touring plans but honestly, never could get them to work. I'm sure it was operator error on my part but each plan had us starting our plan at hours before the parks even opened and my plans weren't jam packed. I'm sure I just didn't do it...

I love the Great Movie Ride and it's one of my must-dos in HS but why can't they do something with it? It needs updating badly. And I've never seen Captain EO and was ok with Honey I Shrunk the Audience (that was one of my DH's favorites) but I think that also needs something new.

Maybe they should head back to their hotel for some rest or a swim and try a park again tomorrow. Maybe you could convince her in the meantime to take a look at some of your tips.

We've not been priced out yet but we've always gone "on the cheap" so to speak. My parents have Wyndham points and have enough for us all to use it each year so we stay off-site for free. Most of the time in years past, we've fixed sandwiches and taken our lunch with us. We have found some...

We went the week before Christmas in 2000 and it was colder than we thought it would be. It wasn't frigid but pretty chilly and a nice lady in a shop that we stopped by in Fantasyland was kind enough to give our boys a pair each of those hand-warmer thingies. Then in 2011, we were there over...

I wish we could all ride what we wanted to without any issues. My DH is very understanding of my issues but he does try to push me to do rides he think I might enjoy or have enjoyed in the past even though I know it'll be painful for me. I think it'll be worse in November since our boys won't...

Also remember that there are areas of the parks where the pavement isn't smooth. Some areas of Animal Kingdom and Liberty Square in Magic Kingdom come to mind. It's not really noticeable while walking or on an ECV but in a wheelchair, you definitely feel it. Lana

I have severe arthritis in both knees so getting in and out of some rides are just too hard for me to do. I can't do Soarin' since there's no footplate. I can't get in and out of Rock 'n Roller Coaster and Space Mountain hurt me bad the last time I rode it. This November is our first trip...

As others have said, it would probably be best to hold off on AK for now. I have severe arthritis in both knees (have dislocated my right patella several times as well) and there's no sense in making yourself miserable. If you're feeling guilty about not doing AK...don't. In years past, I...

In October my husband & I were in line at Small World & saw my third cousin with his wife, kids & grandkids. We had no idea they were there. We only got to chat for a second as the line was moving. We didn't see them again on the trip.

I usually try to go into shops but sometimes leave pretty quickly if the shop is crowded or not easy to get around in. Restaurants can be pretty tricky and have left me very frustrated but I don't think there's been one that we've skipped because of the ecv. Either I hobble along on foot or...

Thanks everyone! We sure didn't see any blue line or anything marked for handicap parking but I guess we just missed it. Although I've used an ecv in the parks for our last 3 trips, this is the first time I've needed real assistance getting from the parking lot to the park. It's a learning...
