    Face mask policy & children with autism

    Costco is selling its pseudo '02cool' branded kids masks and they are super comfortable and made of a cooling fabric. Not 100% certain they conform to the Disney requirements (haven't checked what they are) but for everyday use, my sensory seeking kids love them! Bright colors too, $10 for 4! ;o)

    7 days in parks, how many masks?

    Lots of variables to consider. As someone who works outside in the heat and has to speak a lot while doing it I can tell you that the surgical style masks will very quickly develop a soggy spot in the middle where your mouth is. Other variables will be how much you sweat, how tight you have the...

    RA suggestions please

    Based upon the topography of the parks, the heat and the extra effort required to push a manual chair I would 100% go for the Electric Scooter. Depending on your vehicle you can easily have people throw it in the back. The added benefit of powered mobility will be a god send in the parks and...

    Boulder Ridge Villa question

    Should be a combination of carpet for the bedding / seating area and laminate / hardwood for the kitchenette and entrance way and tile for the bathroom.

    Which scooter is recommended

    The 3 wheelers are good for turning radius and maneuverability, but it depends on your weight, the heavier you are the more likely the 3 wheeler is to lose a little balance and stability when using the cheaper (lighter) models. When I've used them I've much preferred the stability of the 4...

    DAS for RA

    Ahh Prednisone, the nectar of the gods! lol It can often be a psychological hurdle when looking at utilizing mobility tools, people feel its embarrassing, their issues aren't bad enough etc... But it's a medical tool that helps a particular condition, as soon as people come to terms with that...

    How long do you usually go to Disney? (Non- locals)

    We usually go for 10-14 nights depending on the time of year. Usually have a split stay on site between Wilderness Lodge, Poly and/or CR. We find 10-12 days is optimal to give us time to do everything we want yet not get burn out. We go longer sometimes to visit family outside of the Parks or...

    Contemporary or Polynesian

    Depends on what you prefer and like in a hotel. If you like theming and Disney hospitality then I would go with the Poly. If you like a little more modern design and access to the walkway to MK then I would go Contemporary. We usually do a split stay between the 2, the Poly is our kids favorite...

    AP Only Info Thread Reservation System /Extensions / Refunds

    We received no email ahead of time (hence the call) and no element of confirmation email once done. I'm not sure the system is set up to work as intended yet, they said our charges that were taken at the beginning of the month would be refunded sometime in late September.

    AP Only Info Thread Reservation System /Extensions / Refunds

    Just spent 3hrs on the phone, transferred no less than 8 times (once to Disney Land!) to cancel our AP's... lots of system issues and people not really well trained to handle it, bit of a farce really but hey ho, its done. Took 5 minutes when on the phone to the right person... but getting that...

    Back to School: Mask requirement & students with health or cognitive disabilities?

    Most local school districts are starting in a remote setting from home. 'If' they were starting in school teaching it would begin with a hybrid scenario 2 days per week with the other half of the school coming in on a different 2 day schedule with all students off 1 day per week for distance...

    Support to Craig

    You give power to what you focus on, Troll's need to be fed, starve them of a platform and carry on. They'll soon find something else to channel their misplaced angst and anguish. It's a sad characteristic of modern day society whereby people feel they have a right to say whatever it is they...

    Face mask policy & children with autism

    It's an intake, it has its own KN95 filter on the fan so there are no additional risks over and above breathing through a KN95 filtration media in that regard. The power of the fan isn't that great to create a positive pressure on the inside and thus push droplets out of it around the edges...

    Face mask policy & children with autism

    I did see that, however, I would be interested to see what they would say about it considering that it doesn't have any holes or vents that are not sealed by a KN95 filter. I guess its easier just to just say not to a whole genre than get stuck in the weeds, however, I think there ought to be...

    Face mask policy & children with autism

    I just wanted to post a quick FYI... As an educator I have been buying different masks each week roughly, trying different materials, different designs, different methods etc.. to figure out what I can wear all day every day when back in the classroom and beyond. I have tried a lot lol... I am...

    Disney's CONTEMPORARY RESORT Information & Questions

    We always request the same room and have always got the one we wanted or the one next to it either side (fingers crossed it stays that way!) we would use the Touringplans faxing function to do that for us. Here is a walk through of our last room on our last trip there:

    Disney's CONTEMPORARY RESORT Information & Questions

    The Garden Wing is the best overall value at CR in IMO. Far enough away from the hustle and bustle, right on the water if you get the right room, great little patio facing the beach area, a short walk to the main tower and pool and yet 1/3 the price of a tower room. Personally I'm not a fan of...
