I would suggest quick dry material for shirts/shorts

Take her to a running store to get fitted properly.

You know, I have a friend who is kind of constantly doing that...I posted on FB that I got a ticket for a Queen concert and she immediately commented "Did you get one for me". One of her kids is definitely on the spectrum and I wonder if she is too... I always chalked up to being one of 5 kids...

"I think we have different travelling styles so I don't think it would work out. I like to get up early to beat the crowds and I notice that isn't your thing. Also 2 weeks is too much togetherness!" I have learned over time who matches my travel style and who doesn't. But it also depends how...

Also ask yourself: What exactly are you taking advantage of? You are waiting for a ride like everyone else... you just need to do it somewhere else for the benefit of your family member and often the other people in line. You are just trying to have your family member have the same chance to...

"I'm sure you to don't mean to be asking about my private medical information. Excuse me, I need to go now." I don't know if your dog has a "service dog" vest...I wonder if that would stop people from petting. "Can I pet your dog" "No, sorry, s/he's working right now." There is nothing you...

You are probably thinkiing from a point of view of: I am in my motorized wheelchair all the time and am a pro at it. I am a careful person who will take care not to hit people. Disney is thinking: Grandma is using a ECV for the first time and doesn't have control. She doesn't have a good...

Play "Disney Magic Kingdoms" game on your phone and build your own park

No experience but: 1) Google "WDW with Ostomy" for many good tips...like get a DAS incase she needs to leave the line frequently, bring extra Ostomy supplies, change of clothes, hydrate, etc. 2) Ostomy or not, probably don't want to go on thrill rides or very bumpy/twisting rides. So definitely...

Your friend has to change their mindset...It is not that Disney is forcing them to transfer, it is that this ride requires transfer and if they cannot do that this is not a ride they can ride. There are many other rides to ride. Disney tells you which rides require transfer and which do not...

I think you all need to figure out what combination of things will work best and not be too black and white. Definitely get a DAS so he can limite his time in crowds. But what if you all got a wheelchair that he didn't use in open spaces (like walking from ride to ride) but did use in line...

Sometimes you have to ask if this is the right vacation for her at this point in her life.

I will bet Mears will provide a bus option...you may have to pay.

We went to Epcot for NYE 1999 going into 2000...people who were not resort guests were being turned away at the parking toll booths at 7:30am so reservations may be a good thing!

OMG yes...I was in line for some ride and the kids in the family behind me kept bumping into me. I tried "the look" a few times. I tried asking them to stop. They did not appear to speak English. I tried the "Stop" hand sign. At some point I had to yell at them (and then let someone else in...

Having read too many stories about toxic family members that trample boundaries, I just urge you to examine previous behavior of this group and set boundaries accordingly. Is it lovely Aunt Irene who always wanted to go to Disney and can barely afford it and needs a little help and you are glad...

But if the Family member decided at the last minute to join YOU...is it up to you to make it work for them? Only the OP knows that family member and what else they would demand...start as you mean to go on. Set appropriate boundaries.

I think you may need to tell your Family Member: "We are delighted to have you all come with us to Disney but we absolutely cannot commit to pushing a manual wheelchair all day. I am not sure if you know that there can be 8-12 miles of walking in a day. I can give you the numbers/websites of...

@JennyDrake Did Miss M ask for the trip to Disney or did her son think it a good idea?

Also consider if not going during the middle of Florida summer would be helpful for your sister.
