    Which Asian Disneyland to go to?

    They allowed glasses with a strap as of January 2019, but I found that the strap was more of a hassle than it was worth - my glasses kept sliding, jostling, etc. and it was distracting and kind of dizzying. I am incredibly nearsighted and can't wear contacts, but I still enjoyed every bit of...

    Changes to FOP, POTC for Wheelchair Users

    Yep! So much better than the rickety loaner chairs that IME are usually 1.5-2x as wide as the powerchair they told me "couldn't fit" in the line.

    Changes to FOP, POTC for Wheelchair Users

    I'm here now, and there are a few new options for chair access at some rides: Flights of Passage There is a new transfer chair that can be wheeled up around/over the bike. Unlike most wheelchairs where your legs are kind of close together, this one has footrests that are more spread so there...

    I actually had almost an identical experience this time last year! Ugh, it sucks - I'm so sorry for what you're experiencing. To answer the question: Yes, I would go, and in fact I did. I knew that, if I cancelled it, it would only make my mental health much worse (on top of being fired and...

    Your top things to eat!!!! No ressies.

    Bulgolgi Burrito from Lucky Fortune Cookery (DCA) Birria Tacos from...the mexican place in the food court area at DCA, right next to the bridge to Pixar Pier Pym's Test Kitchen at DCA. It's fun in terms of the weird sizes but also surprisingly good for quick service fare. The tots are...

    DAS on Rides with Separate Wheelchair Entrances

    IME don't even bother using a DAS on the rides with a separate wheelchair entrance. Just get a "wheelchair return time" (also called a "location return time" by some CMs at some rides) and then you can get a DAS for something else during the same time. In either case (both DAS and WRT/LRT)...

    How was your recent DAS experience in the parks?

    You can absolutely get rides once you're in the park. The only ride you can't get via DAS once you're in the park is Cosmic Rewind, because that is only via virtual queue or lightning lane. Unless you're going during a crazy-packed time, you can get plenty of ride reservation times using DAS...

    Question regarding obtaining day of DAS return time

    FWIW, "where to go" is the lightning lane :) The CM will scan your MB or phone twice to essentially convert the BG into a LL with the same time window, then send you in via the LL. The plus side is that you go almost immediately into the big pre-preshow holding room and are towards the...

    Mid day breaks staying off site

    We do it a lot, especially during the hottest part of the day. We stay a bit closer to the parks (Blue Heron), and doesn't take nearly as much time as mid-day breaks did when we were relying on Disney transportation honestly.

    Help. Airport troubles

    Okay, I was trying to stay out of this but I can't anymore. First of all, unless we're talking about aisle chairs (which very, very few people use), folks with wheelchairs aren't the last off a plane. At most airports, the long line of pushers are on the jetway towards the beginning of...

    How can you transport refrigerated meds on a plane?

    Frozen water bottles or any kind of ice packs in a cooler bag should be fine. My dad flies with them frequently and hasn't had a problem. Might get asked about them, but they're allowed through if they're frozen (or mostly-frozen) when they go through TSA.

    Iger is back and Chapek is out...

    That's what has stuck out to me most in his statements/emails to CMs over the past 36 hours. He speaks like a person who understands why people care about Disney as a brand. Why CMs work there (and not elsewhere). Obviously he's back to help with the bottom line and to help groom a successor...

    Credit Card for European Travel

    The other thing to consider is how she'll get cash while there. Not all shops/cafes take card so it's good to have options. Capital One has been great for us - both as a CC and a checking account - in terms of exchange rates and no transaction fees.

    Wow! Chapek is out!

    This, combined with the email he sent employees/CMs last night, further cement what I perceive as the biggest difference between the Bobs: Iger "gets it." He understands a) why people care about Disney as a brand and b) how to be a boss that people want to work for. A person can be both of...

    Broken ride features

    It's mostly the animatronics and effects that break. Tron is a coaster with screens around it, much like Guardians, so it should have a better functionality rate. Plus it's been running for like 5 years in Shanghai so it should be relatively easy to make sure it works (one would think...)

    Wow! Chapek is out!

    He was/has been. But he's in charge of parks, and the parks are really suffering right now from a lot of unpopular decisions, ranging from G+/ILL$ to understaffing to poor maintenance and cleaning, etc. Whether these are decisions coming from Josh or from higher up, I don't think anyone knows...

    Who’s had all 6 Guardians songs?

    We rode 6 times over the course of a week around Halloween. I use a wheelchair so I'm always on the track to the right as you come down the ramp. Songs we got: 1 - I Ran 2 - I Ran 3 - One Way Or Another 4 - One Way Or Another 5 - Conga 6 - I Ran So 3/6 total. All VQ except we broke down and...

    NO ROOM FOR ECV ON BUS

    Fold-n-Go Magshock. It's the size of a regular wheelchair when open and folds in half (like a lawnchair) to stow.
