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

    Day 3 continued After Starbucks, we had a DAS for Frozen. I wasn't sure how transferring would go for this one. My research had told me that they had a transfer device that could stick on to the side of the boat - it had handles on either side and essentially two "steps" that would help you...

    Thank you! Yeah the poles were in issue - it wasn't even just catching the edge, it was a direct hit every time:hilarious: (I laugh only because she never hurt herself)

    Back home in Winnipeg, Mother Nature decided to drop us a reminder that we are most decidedly NOT in Florida anymore.😒 (There was no snow yesterday, not that my husky seems to mind at all.) I'm sitting down now with hot chocolate in my Haunted Mansion mug :inlove: (with a little something...

    October 27, 2022 Day 3: Epcot When I originally planned this second Epcot day I did not think we would achieve as much as we did on our arrival day at Epcot. We had already done Gran Fiesta Tour, Nemo, Living with the Land, Soarin’, Spaceship Earth and Ratatouille! Not bad for arriving around...

    Haha whoops, sorry about that :oops: Yeah when I asked if I could leave and come back and she said “yes, but there’s a password” I honestly thought it was a joke :facepalm: They definitely could have communicated everything better. I’m so glad you’re enjoying it! Yes! Not that I won’t be...

    Haha if I didn’t know better I’d have thought you were trying to copy mine and Jenny’s photo 😂 Definitely nailed it. I’m still waiting for someone to attempt copying the ghosts in the bottom of the photopass frame: I would love to see you and Em attempt this ;) They weren’t working on our...

    Day 2 continued After waiting what, to me, felt like forever, but was probably 20 minutes, we escaped the cage that was the accessible fireworks viewing area. The Lightning/DAS pass Lane for HM was super long but moved very fast and before we knew it we were in the stretching room! The Cast...

    Day 2 continued On my way back to Jenny, I decided to grab us some Dole Whips. The perfect treat for a hot Florida afternoon! We sat outside Pecos Bill to enjoy them. Afterwards, we headed to the Enchanted Tiki Room. I sent the following photo to my family with the caption “She has no idea...

    That could very well be! :hilarious: You're probably right.

    Day 2 continued So what did Jenny think of SDMT? Why, she absolutely HATED it :hilarious: She did not enjoy the “drops” one bit. She couldn’t even enjoy seeing Snow White at the end and she loves Snow White. She was mad at me for calling it a “tame” coaster, but I still stand by that...

    Thank you so much! It was certainly all new to me and I'm happy to share it with others so they have a better understanding of what it's like to do Disney with disabilities. It was definitely eye-opening to me and I hope it helps others as well.

    October 26, 2022 Day 2: Magic Kingdom Yahoo! It’s Magic Kingdom day!!! My goal for most of our days was to be in the park for Early Entry. This morning, that meant wake up call at 6:30 so we could be at the bus stop by 7:30 so we could be in the park by 8:30 😅 Even though Jenny thought I was...

    Such a shame! More crowds are the last thing Disney needs. So true!

    Day 1 continued I should note, I think the broken lift on the MEARS shuttle counts as mishap #1 (pretty bad that I lost count at one :facepalm:) Anyway, at this point, we hadn’t eaten anything since 4am in the Winnipeg airport. We decided to go to Mexico for a quick supper. Jenny had the...

    Thanks Max, always good to know you have a backup job! :joyfull: Thank you all for chiming in and offering advice! I will reach back out to MEARS to double-check that I was meant to be charged and address my concerns.

    Phew! Finally caught up! You’d think by now, it’d’ve happened statistically :hilarious: I have a lot of respect for Woody, but having now rode Guardians, I don’t know if I can forgive him this blasphem— — never mind, he’s good😅 🇨🇦 I don’t know the Poly layout very well, will the new tower...

    Day 1 continued We had booked the MEARS shuttle to Pop Century. Before we decided to use Jenny’s smaller chair, I felt this would be the easiest option in terms of transporting her chair. We arrived at the MEARS shuttle location at 1:20 and waited maybe 15 minutes before they put us in a taxi -...

    Hello again friends! Jenny and I have been back from WDW for two days now and, since then, I've been mostly catching up on sleep :hilarious: Despite the title, our trip was an absolute blast with so many adventures and relatively few mishaps (although perhaps more mishaps than any trip I’ve...

    Thank you both! Yes, we certainly didn't end up needing the Advance DAS Reservations on our last two days! They were helpful on our early days to get as much done as possible but by the end of the trip they wouldn't have been necessary. We were so glad for our DAS pass in general though. Thank...
