    **Official DLR November 2022 check in thread **

    Nice! My niece’s family just got home yesterday from their first-ever trip and they had a fantastic time.

    Disney Genie Is Now Live Post Your Hints and Tips

    The bolded seems to have changed. For the last two nights I’ve been able to buy DLR’s G+ just after midnight in prep for the next day.

    Genie Plus - Experiences and Reviews

    Last night, just a few minutes after midnight, I was able to purchase G+ for today. Is this a new development? I thought previously it could only be purchased after you entered a park but since I was awake I thought I’d try. And it worked.

    Eat to the Beat with a wheelchair (no dining package)

    Yeah, it’s understandable why people so often stand during concerts but man it sucks when it blocks the view for those of us who can’t.

    Are you back from your trip yet @fabfemmeboy ? I’d love to hear how it went.

    Stovall’s vs Element

    Exactly the kind of input I was hoping to get. It’s very helpful, so thanks to all of you. The final decision is up to my niece but once she reads your comments I’m sure it’ll be Element 😄

    Stovall’s vs Element

    They‘re staying five nights. Great point about the extra space at Element providing privacy for naps, etc, especially for a longer trip like that. And thanks for the other info about it. No car, so parking’s not a concern. That’s a good tip, though, about taking Lyft to Downtown Disney. Thanks!

    Stovall’s vs Element

    If you DL experts can bear another hotel comparison thread.. I’m trip-planning for my niece - two adults, two kids ages 11 and 8. When Candy Cane Inn canceled their reservation we already had BW Stovall’s as a back-up. But after reading some of the reviews on Element (and watching your...

    My NEW Fold and Go Wheelchair is the best investment that I have ever made. Great at Disney and eve

    I agree with Mamabunny about getting it first before deciding on accessories. And, honestly, I didn’t particularly care for some that FoldnGo offers - for example, I hated their cup holder - and found a few things I liked better elsewhere. One accessory I absolutely did need was the footrest...

    Walt Disney World SWAN, DOLPHIN & SWAN RESERVE RESORTS Information & Questions

    My experience is they’re open for booking at the same time as any other room. Checking on Marriott’s website it looks like Swan has king alcove availability through the first week of October 2023 and Dolphin through the end of September 2023.

    Has Disney’s DAS Pass Become A DASaster?

    ”Grandma” wouldn’t have been issued a DAS based on her wheelchair usage. If she did have it, she would’ve had to go through the line and ride with them, not just wait outside at the exit. Any one of those other family members could’ve been a DAS holder. There’s no such thing as a DAS-specific...

    The magic isn’t gone

    My niece’s husband. Next month they’re heading down for their first trip as a family and he’s fussing about whether their 8-year-old daughter is still too young to remember enough to “make it worthwhile”.

    Has Disney’s DAS Pass Become A DASaster?

    I feel that articles like this always have two unintended results: 1 - It spreads the news to even more unscrupulous people that the system can be scammed. 2 - It provides fodder to rile up even more hostility towards DAS users. Neither of which is helpful or necessary.

    Eat to the Beat with a wheelchair (no dining package)

    Our experience is from 2019 so maybe still relevant? Definitely check with the CMs because things seemed a bit flexible depending on circumstances. We did multiple shows (me in a power chair) and most times were told to wait in the regular line. Once or twice we were directed to wait at the...

    Candy Cane Inn reopening date?

    We also received cancellation notice for our stay starting the week of Nov 14th. Along with their apologies they offered a $50/night discount on a future booking good through December 2023.

    Candy Cane Inn reopening date?

    We also have Stovall as a backup but our dates are in November. I was feeling kind of silly for booking a backup because surely Candy Cane would be open by then. It sure feels good to have that other reservation now.
