    Things Disney Offers But Doesn't Advertise (New)

    In Epcot they sell passports with a bifold of pages & stickers for each country. If you go to the Kidcot stations & ask them to write you a message in their native language on their country's page, they will. And they'll stamp your passport too. My husband and I have a tradition we started on...

    Sock Aid

    I second the Carex type sock aid. In the Rehab Hospital they had us use the plastic tube type & my ankle socks would routinely pop off. I bought a hip kit online before I was even released so I'd have what I needed once home. The kit came with the Carex kind. Much easier to use as it's flexible...

    can't see the way the queue is going

    Aw, thanks so much! She's my heart. I'm lucky to be able to watch her during the day while my daughter works. It's strange how life works out. I became unable to work this past year & while it's very hard to reconcile with my goals/finances/sense of purpose/etc., it's allowed me to forge a close...

    can't see the way the queue is going

    C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S!!!! :cool1: That is just awesome to quit the smoking habit. I know how difficult that can be as my mom quit after a 45 year habit of literally lighting a new cig with the old. Talk about chain smoking! She finally managed after finding out that 2nd hand smoke was...

    can't see the way the queue is going

    It doesn't hurt anyone for you to use whatever accommodation you need that Disney can provide. Some people grouse & complain over any "slight" they perceive, but it's best just to ignore those types. :rolleyes2 Who needs more negativity in their lives? Everyone deserves to enjoy their...

    can't see the way the queue is going

    I lost my vision overnight due to taking a prescribed medicine for migraines back in August 2011. Several surgeries later, my vision is back to where I can see with the help of glasses, but light to dark & vice versa are still a problem for me. When I needed help in dark spaces, I began using...

    Anyone ever combine a dvc stay with a gulfcoast beach trip?

    We've had three combo trips. We like to wind down after Disney, so we like to go to the Treasure Island area. We have stayed at the Bilmar Beach hotel & really enjoyed it. The beach is a fair walk from the units, but they are on the beach side. The sand is filled with small seashells so it's...

    Post hysterectomy trip to WDW

    I went to Disney 9 weeks post hysterectomy and I can tell you what I experienced. I wore down a lot quicker than other trips - and I use an ECV for other health issues. Even using an ECV takes stamina with driving, avoiding hitting people who cut in front of you, etc. Lots of rest breaks were...

    Read Scooter Info - Still Don't Know who to use

    I used to be one to recommend Apple. After two trips with days lost due to multiple equipment failures, I'm no longer a fan. They do send people out to help, but it's not always quickly. Also, the people in the store who answer the phones are rude and argumentative. Their service person (Jose)...

    Bad GRANDMA's!!

    Smart thinking on your part. While we all love our GKids, we also know how our kids are likely to behave, so going with your gut on this is smart thinking. Everyone's family works differently. I'm a new G'ma as of 10.9.13, so I know how awesome it is! As soon as my DD told me she was...

    Neck Injury advisory- advice

    My husband (6') is a C2-7 fusion. I (5' 9") had a hemi laminectomy L4-S1 in January & my C5-6 fusion in March of this year. I was in Disney in early May (waaaay too early, btw, but that's a whole other story). I have a bit of perspective from us both from earlier trips as we didn't (couldn't)...

    HA Room locations at OKW

    We stayed in a HA room at OKW last May, in the Turtle Pond area - room 3411. I made a video showing what it looked like. You can watch the youtube video here if you want to see it: http://youtu.be/xlSMDD5hmqU The HA rooms are spread out throughout the resort. Our room was right across from...

    This "nick-name" drives me crazy..

    That's funny! I don't like preggo, preggers, or expecting. Whenever I hear someone say they're expecting I instantly have snarky internal dialogue:"we're expecting a baby, but it could be a velociraptor!" LOL

    Pedicure while pregnant

    First, CONGRATULATIONS! :banana: My daughter is newly (16 weeks) pregnant, and this is one of the countless questions she's asked recently. So, I did some homework & found a website that lists some "safe" nail polishes. Now, I'm not a doctor, so be sure you consult your OB in case your...

    Disney with MS /First Time ECV User

    I'm so glad your scooter experience went well! I completely understand the dislike of attention. As the years have passed and I have gotten used to using wheelchairs and scooters, my anxiety about that has lessened. I hope yours will too. I'm sorry the steroid treatment was hard on you. They...
