    Thank you from the very bottom of our hearts

    Eight years ago our son was granted a wish trip to Disney. He was almost 10 and time was ticking away due to all of his disabilities. What we thought would be a once in a lifetime trip turned into an amazing love affair. You see Disney has mouse rules and those are not the HUGS rule. So for...

    Child with CP-what can she ride with us?

    Disney has mouse rules so whatever you feel she can safely ride sitting next to you, you can ride. Even if that means your arm is around her to support her. Depending on her abilities she may even be able to ride mission space. The harness system worked very well for our son. My son laughed...

    Does Garden Grill ALWAYS rotate?

    Sadly even with my ginger pills, nausea bands and upper level I could feel it move. We moved at most 10 feet total but was just too much for me. It was by far the kids favorite meal but we will never be able to do it again.

    Allergy Advice Needed

    Special diets have always helped us. There is a form to fill out with your ADR, and your allergy needs. Then we go so far as to ask about a prepicked dish and if the chef would be willing to accommodate us. Honestly after 10+ trips I can say only once did we feel unwelcome at a TS and we just...

    Has DAS Changed in the last 3 Years?

    We have not had any problems either with just saying we need to renew our DS's DAS. Sometimes they update the picture, sometimes not. B

    50's PTC...can they go easy on the interaction??

    Our server James was great this past March. He was pretty average on the banter and played to each of the 4 tables in his section really well. He realized that while our son eats orally some food is too hard to eat (ie the veggies) He never said a word to us about that. However he did have...

    4/16-6/29 Toy Story Mania Facts & Discussion - NEWS: Ride Open w/Same Day FP (6/19-29)

    We were told when we were there March 13th that the ramp was going to be completely closed and there would not be accessible cars running from 4/9 until Toy Story opens on June 30. This is from a CM so not sure how reliable.

    Anyone rented a hoyer lift and/or shower chair at Disney World?

    We were just at MK last week. The tables can be adjusted a bit now but seem to start at the same height they were last June. For those that were at MK during the remodel they are the same tables they had at the temporary area. I didn't see any hoyer lifts at any of the 4 land parks. I did...

    feeding tube question

    DS is tube fed (g-tube) and eats orally. We always bring our own formula since it is specially made for tube feedings. DS has dysphagia with his other disabilities. His swallow study still allows him to eat fish, pureed foods, and soft melt in your mouth food. We always get with special...

    Rides that we should avoid? Spine/MS

    For the Mine Train while we find it a smoother ride, remember that if you hear a clicking sound as your coming into platform area it will be an extremely hard stop. We usually lean as forward as possible and then let the hard stop pull us back.

    space for a tilted wheelchair at 50's prime time diner

    As anyone eaten at the 50's prime time diner with a someone is a tilted wheelchair. Our DS needs his chair to stay in the tilt position due to his disabilities. It is the normal width but pretty much takes up about 5 feet lengthwise. From the pictures it could be tight. Experiences...

    Adult Changing Tables at the parks

    First aid is great for the extra privacy needed to take care of our disabled needs. They even have two different heights for changing if you require that. While having to go back to first aid everytime you need to "pitstop" our family makes it work. Normal day to day life has us doing...

    5yo with Cerebral Palsy

    we use frog toggs, remember all quick services have ice water for free, and the umbrella. Also remember the first aid stations will allow you a place to rest and be cool as well. They will also refrigerate any meds that are in pharmacy bottles. We always have the pharmacy label up the super...

    2 year old Trach

    First remember first aid is your best friend. They are quiet places to rest, suction, change briefs (diapers) etc. The nurses are always great and friendly. The first time you go in during the day will ask you want you need the rest of the day they tend to remember you. There are a few rides...
