We went on a 7day cruise this fall, taking our 2 sons with CP (one in a chair full-time, and the other uses crutches). They are 9, and the kids club was great, the best part of the cruise for them! We had worried because the Cruiseline is very careful in describing what they can and can't do...

Our 2 sons have CP (triplets), and we've been to DL a good bit. Although many of the lines aren't accessible at DL, the size of the park (much, much smaller than MK), makes it easier in some ways for us. I agree that the alternate entrances can make for longer waits, but that has only happened...

I think I saw a thread about this here several months ago, but I've searched for it, and can't find it. We sail on 10/14 on the Magic. Two of our children, however, have gotten pretty bad colds, and have been running fever. If they are still a little sick on boarding day, will we have a...

I agree that it is surprising that WDW does not have accessible playgrounds. Overall, I think that WDW is a WONDERFUL place for my special boys, but we have noticed the playgrounds at the resorts. We have just stayed away from them, unfortunately. Good luck on building an accessible...

I appreciate all the information on the web that has "analyzed" the different viewpoints for watching the fireworks show at DL. And let me say up front, that Disney in general does a great job of accomodation for my 2 boys with cerebral palsy in wheelchairs. They have really given us some true...

Densgirl (and everyone else), if you don't mind a personal question, How much upper extremity strength does your son have (and everyone else who has ridden RnR from a wheelchair)? Do you plan on doing anything special to "assist" him from the accompanying seat? Or do you plan on relying on...

Two years ago, we went to DL on a AAA vacation package, and we got special fastpass ability on our tickets, allowing us unlimited FP access. Does anyone know if that option is still available on AAA packages? Thanks!

Can someone help me? We've stayed at the DLR before, and I know they have rooms with 2 queen beds and a daybed, as well. Is this the same set up at the Grand Californian? Do they have rooms with 2 beds and a daybed? We have 3 kids, so we really could use the daybed. Thanks for the help!

We have two boys with CP (will be 8 in 2 weeks...we're going back to WDW to celebrate!!!), and we have almost always skipped "playing" fountains and the playsets (the splash fountains at Epcot, Donald's boat at MK, HISTK playground, etc.) And our boys have never been disappointed. My wife and...

Can anyone tell me how much the Princess dresses are at WDW or at World of Disney? My little girl wants one for our CRT Breakfast, and we're trying to decide between buying it there or ordering one of the Disney Prestige ones over the Internet. Thanks in advance! Wade

I wanted to see if anyone out there had experience leaving MK during the Share a Dream parade. We're going to arrive on Sunday, and after checking in POR, we're going to MK. However, we wanted to leave MK and head to MGM for dinner and then Fantasmic. I know we can move through the stores...

Well, I've posted this on the disABILITIES board, but I thought I would go ahead here, as well. My wife and I have 7 yr old triplets (2 boys and 1 girl); they were born VERY early and my 2 sons have cerebral palsy, one of whom is in a wheelchair. We took them as a reward for surgery for the...

I'm sure everyone out there knows the answer to this, but I cannot for the life of me remember... During morning EMH, are you able to get FastPasses (for the rides that are open for EMH)? Thanks!

I have a question for eternaldisneyfan. Have you ridden some of the rollercoasters at Disney with similar family support? Have you found any rides at Disney that was NOT accessible to you? Thanks for your description of Soarin'. I think we will all have a lot to learn from your experience.

Welcome to the DIS boards and especially the disABILITIES group! My wife and I also have triplets (2 boys and 1 girl), and our 2 sons also have CP. I don't get to post here much, because I've been doing my residency in orthopedic surgery,and now my fellowship in pediatric ortho. However, I...

Bumping this up!!! We're on the watch, too! Going to CSR 4/17-4/23.

Sorry about the late reply; some days (weeks!) I don't get much of a chance to check the boards. I so understand the concern about trunk and head control. One of my guys is a spastic quad, in a wheelchair. He has some issues with trunk control, and milder issues with head control. Just so...

We have two boys with CP, and we took their wheelchairs right up to the pod. No problem! They gave us plenty of time to load, and plenty of time to get off. We, too, were a little worried about the logistics, tight space, and timefrace, etc. But, the CM's were wonderful, the layout...

I just wanted to thank everyone for the discussion about Pirates. We took our 7 yr old triplets (with 2 sons with cerebral palsy) for a long trip (11 days) to WDW in July. It was fantastic, as usual, and we were very pleased with accomodations for my boys in their chairs. However...

Can you hear the fireworks from the beach at the Polynesian? I know they pipe it into Ohana, but what about the beach? Thanks! Wade
