Hmm, think I will bring one of my bazillions of refillable cups from WDW as a to-go cup...

I can handle going up a few flights of stairs, but then I start panicking. I lived on the 9th floor of my dorm and could do that, but ideally I don't go more than 5 or 6 flights.Hi, is it that you can’t take elevators at all or just use them to access floors higher up? Our room at Loews was on the 16th floor, but there were others who were staying on lower floors. We had to use the elevators at Loews to access guest areas. However, we split our group of 25 into 2 elevators and did not share with anyone else when we went to our welcome dinner so we had space around us.
At the GCH we used the elevators between lobby level and the 3rd floor; I am not sure if there are stairs you can use. The elevators were not crowded anytime we used them.
One member of our group suffered from terrible motion sickness. She was the first to leave the Dish at Imagineering. It is an enclosed room with an open doorway; you are not forced to stay in the room.
Would you be okay in The Haunted Mansion stretching room? It’s an optional group activity to ride together.

Even with plenty of space, I can't do an elevator. Haven't been able to since around 1995. The Stretching Room in WDW I don't do well in, even knowing it isn't really an elevator. There's no way I could do the Disneyland one. WDW is good on days when I just can't do it, they let me skip it.
For the Dish, if there is no door I can probably do it. I don't get motion sickness, just horrible claustrophobia (I pretty much avoid every ride with any kind of restraint at this point).
When it gets closer to booking (I'm not looking to do this for a few years), I will call Adventures By Disney and see if it would be possible to accomodate my issues. I'm thankful for your post so I know what aspects I may struggle with.
I am so sorry that you struggle with these feelings. There really isn't a way to avoid using an elevator at Loews. The Dish is a relatively large room (high ceiling, too), and we were positioned near the open doorway.
I do hope you are able to take this trip. My husband and I are trying to get the timelines in order so I may have to refer back to our ABD photos, which I just downloaded last weekend. (We've been busy with work and personal commitments.) The experiences of visiting the Walt Disney Studio and Imagineering were huge reasons why I wanted to take this ABD.
