It sounds like your mom would benefit from renting a wheelchair from one of the Disney Featured Providers. These companies are authorized by Disney to deliver wheelchairs and scooters directly to a hotel, so it is waiting for you upon check-in. (If you're not staying on-site, I believe one of...

I got that one too. I started it, but didn't finish. It was very detailed, and at least the first portion was all about merchandise.

As long as it's a clear day, you can see quite far in all directions. And if you have a really good zoom on your camera, you can get some pretty neat pictures. I was able to pick out Expedition Everest, Tower of Terror, Spaceship Earth, Swan & Dolphin, Contemporary/BLT, and Four Seasons, in...

I'm aware you wrote 'almost'. My contention was that 15 days is not "almost a month". Saying "the ride has been broken for almost a month" has a very different connotation than saying "the ride has been broken for two weeks and a day". Not trying to argue, just trying to put things in...

Um, June 21 -> July 6 = 15 days. I'd say that problems during the first two weeks of operation are normal. The way I look at it, if this had been two weeks of soft opens, we'd never know about all the stoppages. We'd just see that the soft opens were closed more than open. I'm willing to cut...

The 'news blog' section of that site has actually been updated more recently than May 9. In fact, one of the updates was for three Star Wars designs in a machine inside Legends of Hollywood in DHS (the shop behind Starbucks).

A few years ago, we were at OKW waiting for a bus to the MK. When the bus arrived, we got on, along with a bunch of other guests. Now, most guests are somewhat familiar with general directions from OKW to MK; left out of the resort, right on Bonnet Creek, left on Vista. When we didn't turn...

I'm actually going to give Disney credit for this "temporary" solution. In just over 60 hours since the incident occurred, they managed to put up a barrier that doesn't look horrible. The wood/rope actually "fits" to a certain extent. They very easily could have put up a chain link fence or a...

I think it looks rather uncomfortable.

If it will be like the sword in the stone, it should be "Use The Force to Start This Volkswagen" (sponsored by Volkswagen, of course). ;) There are some lines of thought that Lightsabers can only be used (or at least used effectively) by those that have The Force within them. So I could see...

I agree. There's no reason that they can't create both a beach and some 'breakers' to separate the zero-entry areas. The only way to keep people out of the water and animals in the water would be a solid or chain link fence. I don't see that happening. But a 'natural' separator between sand...

Are monitors really needed at the parks, though? When you're at a resort bus stop, there are buses coming for any of the 5 (or more?) destinations. So knowing which bus is (supposed to be) next helps guests with keeping the waiting areas somewhat orderly. (Knowing that MK is the next bus...

Like Rob said, close is relative -- especially when it comes to the MK. The closest handicap parking space is still about 800 feet from the plaza inside the TTC. So if there are no courtesy chairs, you're looking at a pretty long walk just to get to the transportation. Then you have the trek...

Personally, I would actually feel safer with off-duty LEOs having concealed weapons in the parks. Just recently, there was an incident at a local mall (in MA). The suspect ended up running into a restaurant in the mall, grabbed a knife, and stabbed a waitress and a patron. The only reason it...

According to this photo from October, fudge is still a snack credit. http://www.wdwmagic.com/shopping/main-street-confectionary/gallery/21oct2015-main-street-confectionary-overview/25722.htm However, I don't know if you can "combine" using snack credits with the quantity discount. (Also, FWIW...

No, no. All it takes is faith, trust, and a little bit of pixie dust. Oh, wait. Sorry. I seem to have mixed up my flying equations.

I agree with the last two opinions about SSR. Though I've never stayed at Coronado, it has never appealed to me. My extended family is a DVC member, with OKW being their home resort, so we've stayed there several times. SSR never really had a draw over OKW for us, but we ended up staying at...

On our last trip (October 2015), one member of our group used a wheelchair just as you are describing. She used it to get around the entire property, but was able to transfer out of it into buses, boats, and ride vehicles. What we did was we just waited in the regular bus lines. At the parks...

I understand that (and get why) the new track doesn't have an accessible car. But what if the guest can transfer? For example, one of my family members uses a wheelchair to get around the parks because she can only walk short distances. So at TSMM, we're always sent to the accessible line...

Does anyone know if they're still sending all wheelchairs and ECVs to the old track? I'm thinking that if a guest can transfer to the ride vehicle, there is no longer a need to send them to the accessible vehicle line.
