    Current Entertainment at Raglan Road

    I was there for brunch a couple weekends ago around noon, and there was a live band that started halfway through our meal. There was a dancer for one or two songs.

    Boardwalk Villas, Boulder Ridge Villas, or Polynesian Villas - Studio

    If poly is a dream stay, save it until the water pageant and fireworks are back so you get your money’s worth. BWV is a personal fave, but it sounds like some things are not open yet and it may not be what you want. Never stayed there but WL looks fantastic and fun to me, maybe a good option to...

    How comfortable are those Double Sleeper couches?

    I think it depends on the individual sleeper sofa. I’ve slept on about 10 different ones over the years, and they weren’t typically bad except one trip I could feel the bar. But my parents usually get a 1br wheelchair accessible room, so we don’t have to share a bedroom for a week, so maybe...

    Replacement AP Card

    I think it has to be the parks but it has been many many moons since I had to replace a ticket/card

    The Void in DS

    Definitely do it if you can! It didn’t take too much time away from the night, and it was absolutely amazing and immersive. And the employees were so accommodating and helpful!

    The Void in DS

    My dad asked about it a couple years ago when it opened, he was told he had to be in a manual chair and they’d push him around. Power chair/ecv is apparently too heavy for their floors from what we were told, so he decided to pass. I’ve heard it’s still fun in a wheelchair! 10/10 recommend it...

    Boardwalk Bakery Mickey Oreo Cupcakes

    I’m sure you could call and ask, if they let you get a birthday cake why not cupcakes? Enjoy, I love those cupcakes!

    Recently diagnosed going to Disney in 24 days

    OP, you have a ton of great suggestions here. The other things I’d say to consider are the following: Watch for any side effects of metformin. I know it can cause GI upset in many people, so plan accordingly until you know how it impacts you. Worst case ask for the assistance pass, I’ve had...

    Disney Bus Restraint System for Mobility Devices.

    OP I’m sorry you had to deal with that. Are you sure it was properly tied down? My dad uses a fairly large power chair full time, and on his first trip with it we didn’t realize that the driver had used a piston instead of the dedicated tie down, he almost got some air time. Since then we’re...

    Weather Protection for power wheelchairs..?

    Instead of a shower cap, my dad discovered he prefers a ziplock bag over his joystick. He can seal it up either with his hand inside, or he prefers to seal it over the end and use it over the bag. He also has a heavy duty poncho that worked great in mod-heavy rain and dried faster than our...

    Rainforest Cafe..using my Disney reward money?

    I think you can use a Disney gift card to pay at either rainforest now, so it shouldn't be an issue to use a rewards gift card

    International Festival of the Arts...have you been?

    I went the first year and it was fun. I enjoyed the photo ops and some of the shopping, and the food was yummy. It wasn't as much food choice as flower and garden but I heard they were expanding it, and nothing close to f&w from what I hear (I've never been in fall). Not sure I'd plan a special...

    Best time to book a dinner reservation to watch Illuminations Fireworks (Epcot)

    So to answer OPs original question, we've had luck with 730-745 before and hoping for one with at least a partial view (we always know it's a partial view at best here, if we want full we do Rose and crown). Occasionally they let you wait if it's a very special situation for a better table, but...

    Trip / Hotel Options

    Just want to second either a suite or dvc with a living area. When we took my grandparents years ago having a common space was nice to congregate, and we weren't kicking anyone out of sleeping space (some of us are more into afternoon naps than others lol). That was before my dad was in a chair...

    When to ride it’s a small world.

    I know everyone says to RD one of the mountains or PP in MK, but if it will ruin the day to miss this ride (or make the day being able to ride multiple times) I say start there. As long as you have a plan to hit the must dos you'll enjoy the trip, and this way it'll hopefully spare a meltdown or...

    DAS for Anxiety-induced Neurological Attacks?

    I don't think it would hurt to try for it if you think you'll benefit from it. Just have a plan B in case it doesn't work, and as mentioned, you can always go back. My dad did that once when he was first in his wheelchair, the CM assumed it was a mobility only issue but he has a few other needs...

    Are grad ears just for high schoolers?

    Last year I wore them for my med school graduation trip and I was 27....it was the week they came out in Feb so not many had them in general but I've seen plenty of college age and older adults wear them over the years. I say wear them proudly and enjoy the experience! Congrats!

    MS disability

    If your family is able and willing to make some vacation style changes now that you have to adjust a bit for your MS, I say go for it! and listen to mamabunny, she is wise and has great advice haha. Whatever mobility device you think you'll need, plan to take it and at least make backup plans to...

    Reservation Times

    We've arrived up to 30 minutes early, sometimes it works and we sit earlier and sometimes we don't (usually early for an illuminations table). But my dad has a fairly large wheelchair so he likes the host to know to ensure we have a decent table space (and that there's a clear path to the table...

    Disney Springs dining?

    For quick meals, I've enjoyed the poutine place on two trips, and I'm dying to try d-luxe burger and polite pig. Many moons ago we enjoyed Cookes but haven't eaten there in a long time, but it was tasty. Same for Earl of Sandwich. As far as sit down, I'd say avoid Rainforest unless that is...
