I’m not questioning that someone may have been told it changed at WDW but the reality based on direct reports over the past several months doesn’t not support that any change occurred.
Hagrid’s access because it doesn’t have EP.
That's a good point -- though I'm not exactly sure how it works there either. Doesn't that mean there is no Express Line?
There;s no express line. The line attendant will give you a return time. When your return, the line attendant will walk you to an alternative entrance that will join the enclosed area of the line where it looks like motor bikes are driving on the ceiling.
They built the line, it just isn't used for Express Pass. It is right where the regular entrance is but immediately goes a different direction.
Heh, that would have been helpful to know a couple of days ago, but I guess I didn't need it in the end. I got in a line that I thought was empty and then realized it was like a 60 minute wait so I got out.
The Express Pass is really the way to go if you can swing it. We have used the AAP for years and probably could not do Universal without it BUT BUT it is a lot of work. The attractions are so spread out, the TMs still figure the math in their head and often wrong, there is much less to do there in between rides so it can get stressful even with it. Sometimes all the good stuff is such a long wait that you have to commit full days. The Express Pass is WAY better option.
For Universal you need some kind of documentation — doctor’s letter, IEP, etc.
For Universal, the best thing is to just submit the documentation you already have (ie diagnosis paperwork, IEP/504) to get the card before time and expense of going out to get other documentation. Most likely they will take it. You can always go get more specific documentation and resubmit if it gets rejected. The card however is only proof that an actual disability exists, and approval of the card does not necessarily mean that disability qualifies for the aap. Universal will contact you after your card is approved and decide based on what you tell them what accommodations they are able to provide to help your son.
ADHD was enough for us (like you my son is more severe and has elopement/aggression issues when he gets overwhelmed) We submitted page 1 of my son's IEP as documentation for Universal. It just lists ADHD and specific learning disability. We got the card and then Universal gave us the AAP.
Hi,
I’m pretty sure you can get an IEP while homeschooling. You can access services like speech through your local school district. We are enrolled with a homeschool charter and have IEP’s although that’s a little different.
