    Interesting Waitlist Experience

    I had them call about a waitlist for December a couple months ago. It was for my home resort VGC that was not available at the 11 months. In the meantime, I booked both VDH and a VGC accessible studio for that same week. But the original VGC dates for a regular studio was what I really wanted. I...

    In Praise of Quieter Restaurants —help me with the list!

    We like to do late lunches (like 2:30ish) for a big meal. Chance to sit down midday inside and tend to be quieter. Or sometimes first dinner slot if dining at a resort. Some good places we have tried: Grand Floridian Cafe (first dinner slot) Tusker House (2:30-2:45 reservation time) - Last...

    Moonlight magic registration

    The registration will be under the membership ID and reservation number for the specific reservation that you will be using for the night of Moonlight Magic. And it will work with the resale only one if all your memberships are linked (one login). As an example, I have 2 membership IDs due to 2...

    Best time/s for DAS virtual calls with shorter wait times?

    I have had good luck calling in the afternoons on a Thursday or Friday. I call about 1 PM pst (so 4 PM in est) and have gotten through in 20-30 minutes each time.

    How many miles a year do you drive?

    Very low mileage here. About 3-4K per year. I work from home full time and everything I need is within about 10-15 minute drive. Even Disneyland is only about 20-25 minutes away. I often have weeks my car does not move at all from Monday-Friday if I have no errands or appointments in those weeks.

    DAS changes starting June 18

    That would be my mom and me. I push her in a manual wheelchair at Disneyland (WDW she gets a ECV). I also have anxiety on top of the bathroom issues and the one can impact the other. I was thinking a bathroom pass might be ok for me when solo, but not when together. But the rider switch, that...

    Pre-Check Renewal Process

    Like others, our renewal was super easy. Filled out the form online and had re-approvals and extended date within 24 hours. I would renew sooner rather than later. The new date will be 5 years from the original end date, so renewing early will not lose you days on your first one.

    Scooter at BWV

    I stayed in a refurbed BWV studio in March. No ECV as my Mom was not with me. But next to the pull down twin bed, there is a large empty space. I swear it seems like there should be a table and chairs there. It is where the connecting door will be if there is one. Although, put in a request for...

    Rides with a Cane

    I agree with others about taking the cane. But I can tell you about when we were evacuated from Runaway Railway. We boarded at the pull out car as my Mom needs extra time for the step down now. We stopped in the part where each car is about to go over the waterfall. Cast members started at the...

    DAS changes coming WDW May 20/ DL June 18, 2024

    This is where I am feeling stuck. I have bathroom issues plus anxiety. And the one can definitely impact the other. But I travel to Disneyland with my Mom in a wheelchair. If I have to leave the line, she will not be able to propel herself forward --- could maybe walk it a little ---- but not...

    Transport Wheelchair

    I agree with others to skip the transport chair. My mom uses a ECV at WDW, but we do have a wheelchair for Disneyland (locals who go a lot) or other places with a lot of walking. Ours is a few years old and is pretty light - I am 5'2" and have no issues throwing it into the trunk of my car. This...

    Disneyland for 4th of July - worth it?

    I am a local and we have gone the last 2 years on the 4th. Both times, we went to DCA arriving for rope drop and had really pleasant mornings. Like no crowds and short lines until around 11 or so. I am sure it gets worse as the day goes on (especially during fireworks at DL later), but we are...

    VDH Autolinking Resort Stay

    I have had them all a while. Most recent that I made was VGC when my waitlist came through in Feb. So I suppose it could be a new feature.

    Is the heat of September worth the smaller crowds?

    Been every year in September since 2004 (except 2020). Apparently, I am either a glutton for punishment or really like that time of year. It is the latter. Crowds are not too bad (although each year September does seem to get more crowded). Is it hot? Sure is! Does it rain? You bet! Have we...

    VDH Autolinking Resort Stay

    I see my May and July trips linked in the Disneyland app, but not my December one. I am sure I linked the 2 myself when I made the reservations which would make sense why I see them. But I definitely have not linked December and it is not showing in the app. edited to add - May is VDH, but July...

    You Get a Suite! You Get a Suite! Everybody Gets a Suite! December 2023 Trip Report! (RL Update 4/21 x3!)

    AK is my absolute favorite park. I just love visiting the animals. And the keepers love guests who want to engage and ask questions wanting to learn more. And for your birthday visit - I figure it is my day and I get to pick all my favorite things to do that day. So at WDW, it would be a day...

    Your Skippable Attractions

    Several that we always skip and some we often skip (but we are locals and go a lot so they almost all get worked into a rotation). Always Skip: DL - Tea Cups (no spinning), Autopia (just no), Toon Town roller coaster (not even sure what it is called), Astro Orbiter DCA - Swings, Jumping...

    MCO and WC Request

    We have used the wheelchair at MCO many times. We have our own wheelchair, but I cannot push it and carry all the bags, so we use the assistance. They will take you wherever you need to go including a stop in the bathroom. Just be sure to tip the pusher. Last year I had both parents, so we had...

    Talk to me about selling...

    I feel like most people have been through that. I am still not totally sure how I got from 150 points to 650 points. And I still feel like I need about 50 more to make everything about perfect. And no, I am not in the market for those 50 right now. That first time in a 1 bedroom --- that will be...
