    Preparing for trip post transplant

    Note that there are a couple of rides that cannot be easily stopped by Cast Members- Peter Pan and People Mover are at the top of that list. Doom buggies can be slowed, but preferably not stopped. A wheelchair or an ecv can create a physical barrier for increased separation. (I am pretty much a...

    Passports Expiry

    An Alaskan cruise usually only visits the US and Canada. A Caribbean cruise often visits countries other than the US (and, sometimes, Canada). Almost all Eastern Caribbean cruises visit at least one island in The Bahamas. Western Caribbean cruises usually visit Mexico. You must have appropriate...

    WDW parking for non resort guests

    And you can walk from Epcot to the DHS parking lot (or take a ferry or Skyline, depending on operating hours) via the International Gateway entrance to Epcot. That can be useful on days where DHS closes early.

    Two Holland America Crew Die on Board Ship in Bahamas

    My understanding is that there was an issue with a possible blockage in a steampipe. Sadly, the deaths may have occurred while the crew was investigating the issue.

    Line most similar to DCL

    We have found the service on HAL to be absolutely top notch, and the food superior as well. Especially on the Pinnacle class ships. in addition to the MDR there is the lido, a pizza/sandwich joint, and a burger bar in the "included" tier and an asian+sushi, french bistro, italian, seafood, and...

    Castaway Cay Wind Concern!

    My father got in very few arguments. He was the captain. One argument he did have was with a US Navy admiral, who had chartered the yacht my father was running. The admiral ordered my father to sail, no motors, due north. straight into the wind. My father flat out refused. The admiral insisted...

    Castaway Cay Wind Concern!

    Tide is highly predictable. Just sayin'. I used to memorize the depths on nautical charts for the Florida Keys and The Bahamas. The tide tables were required morning reading. My father was a captain for Windjammer cruises and my mother and grandfather were both sailors as well. I could use a...

    New buses and ECVs

    A huge issue is that there are great inconsistencies in wheelchair and ECV design with respect to where and how to tie down the equipment properly. If you've seen one ECV, you've only seen one- the next model may be completely different. And not to mention that there is often a person on the...

    Doctor Dies From Allergic Reaction After Raglan Road Meal at Disney Springs

    And in this particular case, the lease may actually be for the ground and not the building. I think that every brick for the building came from Ireland- at least that was the story- and the original build was a partnership between Disney and a third party.

    Doctor Dies From Allergic Reaction After Raglan Road Meal at Disney Springs

    As of what is known publicly right now, the source of the allergens remains unknown. She may have eaten at Raglan Road, but I haven't seen anything that shows a test result from a sample of what she consumed at the restaurant or a statement from the kitchen acknowledging they served her one of...

    Doctor Dies From Allergic Reaction After Raglan Road Meal at Disney Springs

    I believe RR uses shared fryers between what may be (it once was, I think, but don't know if it currently is) dairy-fee (please check before ordering) and GF fish and (advertised) vegan onion rings. I don't know if the Scallop Forest uses the same batter as the GF?/dairy free? fish or the onion...

    Cruising through Ft Lauderdale help, please.

    A cab, rideshare, or bus would be much cheaper if the transfer is to your hotel OR to MIA. If the private transfer includes BOTH a transfer to your hotel and a transfer the next day to the airport, it is still on the expensive side if you are staying at an airport-area hotel. DCL usually offers...

    Cruising through Ft Lauderdale help, please.

    That is not a particularly good option. Tri-rail would be a much, much better rail option.

    A passport card or a passport is required for sea travel, with the exception of a closed loop cruise that meets certain other requirements, where a government-issued photo ID and a certified copy of a US-state-issued birth certificate (and in certain circumstances certified copies of...

    I have walked up ramps numerous times with and without a rollator prior to heavier dependence on an ecv and now a wheelchai.

    MK Bus wheelchair/ECV at closing

    They used the ramp that deploys for the wheelchair/ecvs. The height of the step also makes a difference.

    Unfortunately, you are no longer going to be flying Lynx. They announced today that they are closing in the next several days and are advising customers to seek refunds from their credit card companies.
