    MidWil Shuttle question

    JetBlue changed my flight times (we are ~3 weeks and some odd days out). We booked a private transfer to and from hotel months ago with MidWil Shuttle. Both arriving and departing are an hour different with arrival an hour later and departure an hour earlier (departure from hotel will now be at...

    This is why I favor the involvement.

    DAS changes coming WDW

    If a provider has written a note and someone calls our office, it is not against any HIPAA to confirm or not confirm if it was written by our office. I have been on the receiving end of the calls, and I can confirm MOST offices will respond, "Yes, I can confirm that letter was written by Dr...

    DAS changes coming WDW

    Online, they only ever needed my daughter for the photo. I walked my laptop over to her once the CM came on. The rest of the time she was't in view of the camera at all.

    Looking for Non-Standard Things to do in WDW?

    AKL. Classes, talks, touring the lodge. In parks: Deep dives into each country at EPCOT. Like deep dives. IN the Germany shop, stuff will move on the wall and the beer steins sing (I think, I was tired, but they do something). There are Worlds of little stuff like this. AK is fantastic for...

    DAS changes coming WDW

    These are all good points. Disney has watched this play out at Universal for a while. I'm in the minority opinion of supporting the introduction of the process at Universal, and I'm relieved that the CM will receive either some medical training or have healthcare workers available. I have seen...

    Does shipboard medical take HSA?

    Thank you all. I am glad guest services will take the HSA credit/debit card. That was exactly what I was hoping to hear to cover upfront costs prior to submission for insurance reimbursement. My day job deals with insurance, and I am (unfortunately) extremely familiar with the submission of...

    Does shipboard medical take HSA?

    Is an HSA (Health Savings Account) credit card accepted as a form of payment on board at the medical clinic, should you need to use their services?

    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...
