    Teasing towards those on ECV's

    Not all mobility scooters are created equally, and for many folks, they are using one for the first time. There is no excuse for running up on someone's foot or other body part. I tour in my own scooter, and can't tell you the times people have walked right into me because I was below their...

    Where do you plug in your ECV to charge in the park?

    Guest Relations or the First Aid station is your best bet. While there are outlets throughout the park, you won't be in the way while you charge. The bonus is, both are air conditioned! The only location I know at Disney Springs is Guest Relations (when I last asked). If you have dining...

    Debt Dumpers - 2016

    I'm working feverishly to pay off my last credit card, shore up my emergency fund, save for a down payment, and buy a retirement home near Disney! My credit score is decent, but I had to walk away from a terrible condo situation near Seattle in 2011. It took over three years for the mortgage...

    Do you care what your luggage looks like?

    I bought the ugliest, brightest piece of luggage I could find - a red orange shiny vinyl roller bag. I figured if/when I checked it NO ONE would try to steal it because it was far more obvious than a dull black bag and I could spot it a mile away on the conveyor. When doing carry on no one...

    Hitch mounted scooter platform - any advice?

    I have a small travel scooter but sometimes even it is too big to conveniently fit with suitcases, coolers, etc. We are doing a road trip NW Indiana to Walt Disney World next spring and I have begun looking at hitch mounted scooter platforms - the price is all over the place and I am sure a lot...

    How far would you go

    We are two seniors doing the “Golden Girls Retirement Plan”, meaning we decided we could share a house in retirement to save money and have companionship. Being on a fixed income, we still want to treat the grandkids/nephews/nieces to Disney trips. We make it work by: We only take one...

    BOG Lunch ressie showing up in MDE, 8 hours later

    Yep, I tried at 5 am and got the lunch option for BOG, so I thought, what the heck, and tried to put it through but never got a confirmation page. For the heck of it, I tried again, and the time I requested the first time was not available, so I tried a reservation 5 minutes later than the...

    Chronic Kidney Disease and Disney Dining

    Thank you so much for your input. I'm assuming that Dole Whip is okay as it is non-dairy. Is there any source for nutritional information about Disney food? I'm thinking the kid's meal turkey on a small roll with carrots and grapes is likely a good choice, when available. I remember these at...

    Chronic Kidney Disease and Disney Dining

    Thank you for your quick response! We will be staying at an off-site timeshare with full kitchen, so prep and pack won't be a problem. I am just hoping there is still a bit of magic I won't have to bring with me. Sodium is a tough thing to avoid, even in krispie treats.

    Chronic Kidney Disease and Disney Dining

    I've just been diagnosed with stage 2 CKD, meaning my diet needs to be low in sodium, potassium, phosphorus, and careful protein intake. My Doctor hopes that by following these guidelines, we can slow down or stop the progression of the disease. How does one go about ordering food in Walt...

    Air Travel with Scooter

    I have found that it can take considerably longer than 5 minutes for a heavier scooter or power chair to arrive at your gate because of the locations of the elevators that must be used. It depends on the distance between the gate and the elevator in both MCO (Orlando) and TPA (Tampa). There...

    Purchasing a folding travel scooter

    Thank you so much for responding. Your information is very helpful and I have added the Solax to the list. I was able to finally find some reviews of Top Mobility via a Google map search. They have only a 3.5 out of 5 reviewer rating, but the bad reviews may be misunderstandings that were not...

    parties with a disability person

    I suspect the OP has abandoned this thread, most likely immediately after posting. What a shame. I spent 4 years of annual passes to Walt Disney World with a companion in his own motorized wheel chair. He was in fantastic physical condition, strong, and healthy except for very complex...

    New annual pass holders!!

    We sometimes make an evening visit just for the Magic Kingdom parade and fireworks. Pack a picnic and settle into some chairs up at the train station. Primo site for the parade and fireworks! I enjoy them so much more than when we are exhausted at the end of a long park day!

    Best CS meals to share

    Thanks for your ideas. I haven't tried Studio Catering OR Backlot Express, so will schedule one of these for our "lighter" dinner meal after lunch (MUCH after) at Sci Fi. Does anyone know of any source for nutritional information about Disney World cs meals? It sure would be helpful. Two of...
