    Resort busses & wheelchairs??

    Marie S, We've travelled to WDW many times with our son who uses a manual wheelchair. Monorail - Epcot has an elevator but the ramp down is a blast, TTC has ramps, MK has ramps, Poly exits to hotel which has elevators, Contemporary exits into hotel with elevators. Need small ramp to get...

    >>^..^<<, Stayed at many. WL, Cont, Poly, CSR, CBR. DL. CSR is our favorite. The southwest theme is a most welcome change from the solid rain we have in Ottawa in Dec/Jan. Staying over New Year's at the Dolphin, haven't decided for the week after yet. See you're heading off soon to...

    Just back from Poly Concierge and VERY VERY disappointed

    You guys in concierge crack me up.:p You know what concierge stands for: CON Customers Into Extra Rates and Gouge Everyone! Stop the wine (pun intended) and put your $$$ to value. Rush back to your resort so you don't miss out on the wine & cheese & little "crudités" (look in...

    I was just told CRO doesn't exsist anymore!!!

    Took your advice and tried calling again. This time we were cut off twice but each time we called we keyed in two nights instead of seven and each of the three times we got someone with the CRO policies (1 night deposit, 6 days prior cancellation). Went ahead and made romm only ressies for 7...

    I was just told CRO doesn't exsist anymore!!!

    Must have been the same guy/gal who had the brain far_ about cancelling early entry only to have to bring it back to encourage resort reservations. If your rooms are empty, and are worried about clients cancelling reservations or changing reservations to get a better deal why perturb new...

    I was just told CRO doesn't exsist anymore!!!

    U'r right, their own web site still has the 6 day policy if you book on-line. DW will try again after supper. Another thing. When you call the automated answer asks you to key in your phone number (for file call up I assume) and then how many nights you want to stay. This time we'll say 1...

    I was just told CRO doesn't exsist anymore!!!

    DW just called to make a room only reservation for 1 Jan to 8 Jan and asked for CRO specifically. The CM that answered stated that they are all merged now and CRO doesn't exist. Booking a room requires a deposit of $200 US immediately by credit card followed by FULL!!!!! payment 45 days in...

    Can I park at Downtown Dis and use the buses?

    Each time I have stayed at a resort with a car you get a parking pass to put in the window to identify your stay. I can't remember but I believe it provides free parking at the parks too. Maybe Disney should patrol the resort parking lots more often. Hey, even better, start their own tow...

    Paraplegics, FastPass and GACs help!!!!

    You mean if a person cannot transfer from their wheelchair they must still use mainstream, wait in line like everyone else, but when they get to the front of the line, they still have to wait for the wheelchair accessible carriage/boat, not like everyone else. Now that's unfair!

    Wait for handicap busses

    Most WDW buses have lifts. We've only had to wait for a second one a couple of times. The buses do get full in the mornings particularly to the EE parks. You have to wave to get the drivers attention so you are let on first. We find it useful to drive in the morning as the buses at lunch time...

    Paraplegics, FastPass and GACs help!!!!

    My DS is a paraplegic in his own wheelchair. He is 14 and is looking forward to WDW. There will be four in our party. All of these Fastpass and GAC posts are confusing. Do we need a GAC? Do we need to run (roll) around to get Fastpasses? or do we just go to the wheelchair entrance, without a...

    Fastpass: Does it really make things easier for the handicapped

    I've posted this before and I'll post it again. If the ride doesnt allow the mainstreamed handicapped person to get on the ride once at the front of the line then the handicapped must have a seperate entrance. Sure with a seperate entrance you may get on the ride sooner but due to the few and...

    whats your BEST tip for going to WDW w a disABILITY?

    My advice is that you plan ahead, know where the first aid center is in every park. Our son is a paraplegic and can get hot quickly. The nurses were very helpful supplying us with cold wet towels for him. We now bring faceclothes which we wet at waterfountains to put around his neck. We take a...

    Walkway from Sheraton World to Sea World Wheelchair Accessible?

    Has anyone had a chance to stay at the Sheraton World resort next to Sea World? Is the walkway to Sea World wheelchair accessible? How long is the walk? How are the resort grounds?

    This is not a postcard..Mods $109..feb 19- Mar 31

    When you booked your room you had to give an address (obviously not Florida)since they have to send your confirmation to you. Kinda hard for CRO to send a confirmation to, lets say, Nebraska with a "proof of Florida residency" requirement. Just get that confirmation letter, that's all you need.
