    How to share electric chair - I am disabled mom and mild disabled son

    We took a rollator/transport chair. Super helpful if you do have someone who would mostly use a rolling walker. We did not have more than 1 "riding" at any one time. Though, being of equal size, one is able to use the walker and push the other in the wheelchair part. During EPCOT fireworks at...

    Lone parent trip

    I've been the solo parent going with 2 neurodivergent children. It was daunting at first. Now, I wouldn't do it any other way. My #1 tip: DON'T OVER DO IT. If you need the nap, take the nap. This isn't a race from ropedrop to fireworks. And you will have a much better experience if you lower...

    Disneyland DAS? How does it differ?

    Thank you. I have gotten the DAS in the park before. I do like the privacy of just discussing with one person on the video chat and am willing to wait for that. Not every guest within earshot at Guest services is as understanding as the CMs in my experience.

    how far by yourself would your parents allow you to travel growing up?

    Under 8 or so, we had to stay on property (we live in a rural area) 8-12 within a 10-15 minute bike ride of the house. Over 13 until we had our license, parents didn't care. We once biked into the city (2 hours each way) to get McDonalds. My grandmother lived in a more rural area. I remember...

    Disneyland DAS? How does it differ?

    How does the Disneyland DAS process differ from the process for WDW? We were just at WDW in December and headed to Anaheim in May. I know how to do the video chat. I do know that I will probably not take advantage of the pre-selects (it didn't really work for my daughter's disability). Just...

    Kind of embarrassing question

    I have a family member that uses knix swimwear for menses control during water activities. Can confirm they work well.

    British Airways - US to London in Economy

    Yes. Done BOS-LHR twice. Economy has some of the best padded economy seats I've flown but is the worst IMO for leg room. I'm 5'7 and flew with a toddler, another person 5'7 and the 3rd adult is 5'11. I typically do not have legroom complaints but my knees did touch the seat infornt of me on BA...

    Navigating WDW Trip with a Rolling Walker

    1. We just did this a few weeks ago. We used Mears to and from the airport (old DME buses both ways) and it worked out perfectly fine. I think we did include it on the reservation but we only needed it transported. My 12-year-old was able to get up the stairs with the help of another person, and...

    AoA LM vs WL BR studio handicap rooms

    We did a split stay 12/9-12/16/2023 with 2 nights at Art of Animation in a Little Mermaid Handicap accessible (roll-in shower) room and 5 nights at Boulder Ridge/Wilderness Lodge in a Handicap accessible (roll-in shower) deluxe studio. My 12-year-old uses a rollator/transport chair combo device...

    DAS and Parkhopping

    Yes. A million times this! Going to Disney is hard with disabilities, but it would be so much more difficult than helpful to us to add people. We do our thing, and we all do the same thing so vacation feels like vacation. The stress would make the trip not fun if I brought any of my family to...

    Is there an easier way into...

    1. The Land Pavilion? As the person who pushes the wheelchair for my child I'm dreading this again. Am I missing an easier Wheelchair entrance? I know you start on the ground level and the entrance at the end of that ramp is on the 2nd floor; then we have to go down in the elevator again to the...

    Possibly Unpopular Opinion-Room requests (don't do it)

    First off, I 100% understand the appeal of room requests as your typical Disney Type A uberplanner. I am a proud extreme planner and get a lot of enjoyment out of it. I put in a room request for our first planned trip at AoA and that trip got COVID cancelled. I haven't put in a room request...

    Are they getting overly strict on DAS

    I don't like announcing the details of my daughter DAS where other random other visitors in guest services can hear it either, so I stay kind of vague usually. The last we went was 2021, just before they made the switch to online, and they were kind of cold as well. I'm kind of looking forward...

    Suggestions for PTSD flashbacks while at DLR

    I usually post about my kids issues but I had an ultra-rare PTSD flashback from the Paris terror attack (which we unfortunately experienced first-hand) that happened (of all places) in the Monster's inc. laugh floor. Got outside and across to stroller parking with my girls and just sat with my...

    "Official" 2023 Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party - Yuletide Joy

    Nope. Nothing. I hope this doesn’t turn into my 2021 2-person 6 hour odyssey to get Boo Bash tickets

    Are there any lawyers willing to speculate?

    I’m kinda hoping for a comment that there are already several prisons on property. The first order nearly put my kids and I in one until some rebels broke us out and I feel certain that I’ve sailed past one in Adventureland several dozen times. In all seriousness though, I’m stuck on the mailed...

    Are there any lawyers willing to speculate?

    In 2020 some of the local government meetings were available to stream/listen to. I remember following one rather closely that came shortly before the re opening announcement. There were some super helpful people who had posts regarding comments to be on the lookout for (and I remember getting...

    Are there any lawyers willing to speculate?

    Doesn’t Golden Oak have a substantial amount of homes at this point? Or are they primarily vacant? I live in a part of the country where 53 people in a town is normal but I assumed due to that neighborhood that there would be more, I guess?
