    Trip Report Broken lifts, EMTs, and spitters (oh my!): WDW with a wheelchair and DAS

    I hope you are able to convince her to do a Disney trip! As you said, the world really isn't suited for those with disabilities but Disney World mostly is. We definitely saw some people on scooters that had their crutches with them so that could be a good option for Karla! For places like The...

    Trip Report Broken lifts, EMTs, and spitters (oh my!): WDW with a wheelchair and DAS

    Thanks for reading! When I first met Jenny she got almost everywhere using a walker but she never used crutches. I wouldn't recommend depending on crutches for a trip to Disney even if she does get the DAS pass. There are some really long distances to travel in Disney even if you plan well, and...

    Your comment reminded me to go back to read your review of Guardians (which I skipped to remain spoiler-free) and I fully agree! The ride is absolutely incredible and I cannot wait to get back on it! (Also Toni didn’t know “Conga”? 😲) Thank you so much for reading along!

    Thank you, I needed your encouragement to make it happen! I'm normally one to let sleeping dogs lie, so to speak. I hope we get to kick WDW's butt too! 😆 Oh man, it must have been quite the problem for them to take it so seriously! 😳 It's nice to hear that they did take it seriously though...

    Trip Report Broken lifts, EMTs, and spitters (oh my!): WDW with a wheelchair and DAS

    Hi friends! I wanted to provide a quick update for those who need closure (paging @Darstarr :joyfull:). I emailed Disney at the beginning of January about mine and Jenny's experiences with accessibility - the good, the bad, and the ugly. A full 30 days later, I received a response. I will put...

    Thanks Max, I knew I could count on you! I saw that the Tron coaster in WDW will have one accessible car with "real" seats so that's good! Totally agree re the Space comment. Thanks for following along, Max, would be awesome to one day have a meet up with my fellow Canadian! That's really...

    Trip Report Broken lifts, EMTs, and spitters (oh my!): WDW with a wheelchair and DAS

    Final thoughts Pop Century: Other than the elevator mishap, the hotel was great. There wasn’t a lot of noise from neighbours, the room was perfect for us and very clean. The biggest perk was the Skyliner. I wanted to stay here for the Skyliner because I didn’t want to deal with loading Jenny’s...

    Trip Report Broken lifts, EMTs, and spitters (oh my!): WDW with a wheelchair and DAS

    Final Day continued We headed back to Adventureland after this to see if we could meet Jenny’s other favourite, Captain Jack. As we approached, I saw him go behind-the-scenes so we waited for him to reemerge. Just as we were giving up hope he showed up walking down the walkway behind us! Jenny...

    Day 9 continued We left the restaurant shortly before 1PM with a goal to meet more characters once we made it into the Park. We tried to meet Snow White in the Town Plaza but the CM said she wasn’t coming out today (this had happened to us one day at EPCOT as well - too bad as she is Jenny’s...

    Trip Report Broken lifts, EMTs, and spitters (oh my!): WDW with a wheelchair and DAS

    November 2, 2022 Day 9/Final Day: Magic Kingdom We got to sleep in again this morning as we had a reservation at Topolino’s Terrace at 11AM. We went to the Skyliner at 10AM and I was glad we gave ourselves lots of time as this was the busiest we had seen the Skyliner. Still, we got to Riviera...

    Yes, it was so great! I'm so glad you both enjoyed your experiences as well - Dugan is way too cool! No way! How fun would that have been?? That would have been so awesome. That totally sucks that J was sick that day, it would have been great to meet up. I hope he has recovered well! Re...

    Trip Report Broken lifts, EMTs, and spitters (oh my!): WDW with a wheelchair and DAS

    What was our appointment? We went and met Dugan the rhino (also featured in the Magic of Disney’s Animal Kingdom show)! The Up Close with Rhinos tour was absolutely fantastic. I had done the Caring for Elephants tour before so knew generally what we were getting into but we just had such a...

    November 1, 2022 Day 8: Animal Kingdom Sorry for the delay everyone, life has all of sudden become busy but definitely hoping to get this thing done ASAP! On this morning, we decided to *gasp!* sleep in. And by sleep in, I mean getting up at 7:30 instead of 5:30 :in pain: We had a plan in the...

    Trip Report Broken lifts, EMTs, and spitters (oh my!): WDW with a wheelchair and DAS

    Thank you for being mad on our behalf and validating our feelings :joyfull: I also believe that there is no service elevator for staff at Pop - also pretty silly to be fair! As you might be able to tell, Jenny and I are pretty non-confrontational people haha. Jenny admitted that she wouldn't...

    Day 7 continued The original plan was to rope drop Frozen with my family, but we realized that it was down. Indeed, as I reached Norway there was a wall of cast members ready to stop guests (not pictured haha). We decided to hit Soarin’ first instead. All of a sudden I was in a hurry. I...
