    Disney Stock News & Earnings

    I am just dumbfounded that it seems no one outside of Disney groups is discussing how badly the stock is doing. At what point can shareholders starting questioning the fiduciary responsibility of the Board and Chapek? It's down 35% for the year while the Dow is actually UP. Something is gravely...

    Disney Stock News & Earnings

    I think the biggest is the building and expansion. Plus services. Orange and Osceola will absorb municipal services, but that means Disney would be sharing with the county so no more FD/PD dedicated to the property. For building and expansion - under RCID, Disney basically says "we want to...

    disabilities assistance Abuse

    Just back and it seems like they are tightening the DAS process. Saw someone with a scooter get denied at Hollywood Studios. Interestingly, the CM told the group that they would not be eligible at DHS, AK, or Epcot as all lines are capable of handling a scooter, but to ask at MK as those lines...

    Any news on increased restrictions

    So take this with a huge grain of salt, but 2 days ago I checked August availability and only one day had DHS closed to AP holders - and that was it. Today, this entire week has some restrictions on parks (DHS and MK) for some level of ticket. So either there was a huge number of reservations...

    Stroller for 10 year old

    When my son was around that age, we just rented the Disney double stroller. We found he preferred the plastic bench to the fabric enclosing him (too close and touched his skin), plus it was easier to pull himself into. He likes having the canopy as well to sort of block out some stimulation...

    Options for Older Child

    If she can fit into a stroller or special needs stroller, that may work. We had a stroller for our older son - not for physical disability but sensory disorder. He folded himself in half (he's also very skinny) and would bring the hood down to "escape" for a bit. There are a lot of older kids...

    DAS Mobility Issues?

    You can always try and see if the lines are moving adequately. With no fast pass, there is very little standing time in lines now. If it is a problem, go to Guest Services and explain. I broke my tailbone a bazillion years ago and it didn't heal quite right, so it's a similar issue. I can...

    Eliminate the Park Reservation Requirements

    I thought when they rolled out the reservation system, it was stated that it was part of an effort that was already underway - and they just moved up the launch for COVID. And when you think of Disney IT, do you really think they could have cobbled together a reservation system for all 4 parks...

    DAS - adding people post COVID

    We will be at 6 people total, so I'm not concerned about that. It sounds like the others can be added via MDE when we set up his DAS the first day.

    DAS - adding people post COVID

    OK, so we are usually DAS experts, even going last August. For the first time, we are traveling with another family. We will be getting the DAS for my son as normal, but how do we add the other family? I know in the past all members had to be present to be added, but I thought I read somewhere...

    Has DAS changed since re-opening of WDW after COVID-19

    We have gotten the DAS for my son for several years. Normally we just ask to renew and because he is on file, they update his picture and that's about it. When we went in August, we were peppered with questions. It went beyond the "why" to "what happens." It was the strictest I've seen it...

    Multiple DAS in one family

    I believe you can be linked on multiple DAS accounts, but not have multiple return times. FOr instance, you could get a return for Thunder Mountain for the family, but if your son is linked to that return, he could not get another return for Splash until you've ridden Thunder Mountain. Does...

    Does anyone know how well SW airlines handles kids with disabilities?

    JUst ask for pre-board. Since it is only the 3 of you, all three will be likely to board together. If not, don't worry. People are generally very accommodating to keep families together. We always head toward the back just to keep the number of people passing and distracting to a minimum...

    We have used DAS on all of those.

    Airlines limit "service animals" to dogs

    "The Transportation Department issued a final rule Wednesday covering animals on airlines. It decided that only dogs can fly as service animals, and companions that passengers use for emotional support don't count. " I wonder if this is the first step to further regulating/licensing service...

    Hidden Disability

    Mention you had one in the past but also be prepared to answer a lot of questions again. We've received a DAS for my son every time we've gone (and the wait for the DAS renewal is usually a good indicator that he needs one.) Usually just saying we needed a renewal was enough. When we went in...

    Song of The South

    I watched SotS in the theater, I'm guessing maybe the 1980 release? I was pretty young. I remember the songs, the cartoons and being terrified of bulls for a long period of time. I do own a bootleg copy but haven't watched it.

    I liked the gold, the spruce up of the gray, and even the blue grew on me, but the pink is hideous.

    Chronic Leukemia

    FYI - all shows have spaced seating right now. The seats are in groups of 4 with 3 seats in between, one party per seating area. They have big signs that say DO NOT SIT. If your party is larger than 4 people, you are asked to split yourselves up however you want.

    No exemption to mask policy.

    My opinion on the dad isn't very Disney-like, so I won't state it. My son is autistic with SPD. We probably spent well over $100 on various masks to find ones he would wear. It's something we have been working on for MONTHS. The REWARD was a Disney trip. Even when we finally found ones he...
