    Epcot on Saturday, September 4th? How are the crowds right now?

    So what are your thoughts on potential crowds at Epcot this weekend? Thinking about planning a last-minute trip, but I'm conflicted about it- while the crowd calendar has a low crowd forecast, it's Labor Day weekend. But we'll ONLY be going to Epcot. Any predictions? Thanks very much!

    Experiences at wdw with the "stare"

    This is one of the GREATEST things I have read in a very long time. What a fabulous idea. I'm sure you made a lot of friends, left a lot of impressions, made a lot of people smile, and more importantly- made something extremely positive out of what could have been a very isolating and scary...

    Experiences at wdw with the "stare"

    Anyone see these shirts? I think they are funny, but maybe not to everyone. http://www.zazzle.com/keep_staring_tshirt-235947193200905711 http://www.zazzle.com/i_may_be_disabled_but_it_doesnt_mean_i_cant_hi_tshirt-235547283063658497

    Experiences at wdw with the "stare"

    My husband wears shirts with funny geeky slogans on them. I love them, and he always gets positive comments. I don't mind when people read my shirt (if I ever wear a shirt that says anything), but I HATE when they stare at my leg/foot. I'm thinking about getting a giant "UP" arrow tattooed on my...

    Rides for those almost bound to their ECV

    Rides I know of that have "extra space" for loading a wheelchair/ECV or an ECV can be driven inside (sorry if I don't have all the names right, my family all has short hand names for the attractions based on whatever my four-year-old daughter calls them!): Magic Kingdom: Small World Jungle...

    Experiences at wdw with the "stare"

    I have to admit, I'd be THRILLED if people asked me why I limped rather than just stared at me as I lurched by. I guess people are afraid of offending (or of me doing something scary), but it would be so much easier to let curious people know what's going on and put them at ease, which seems to...

    *Get* a GAC!

    Depends on if you have FP or not, I guess, since some of the FP lines go to stairs. I've experienced it on Toy Story Mania- we are almost always are loaded on the side since the regular FP line goes to the stairs. I've also been brought to an alternate entrance for Tower of Terror- I think we...

    *Get* a GAC!

    I'm so sorry doctors are not able to zero in with what's going on with you and give you a good, focused treatment. That's truly horrible. Spina Bifida is similar- there's a HUGE spectrum of conditions that go along with it and life is full of LOTS of surprises. A good day is when nothing new and...

    *Get* a GAC!

    I agree with this 100%. It's NOT a fast pass. And it's not for simple health issues. But it's a useful tool that might change a person's Disney experience. I guess what I was trying to say is this: you have any health concerns AT ALL besides simply needing an ECV/wheelchair (balance...

    *Get* a GAC!

    Throughout the first "recent" trip we took with my ECV (and without using the GAC) I had several cast members recommend that I get one. That was the only way I knew about them. I followed their advice and it made a world of difference. I don't know. I don't "appear" disabled (although my cane...

    *Get* a GAC!

    I have Spina Bifida and while I am mobile (I can walk short distances, stand up for short periods of time) I own my own scooter and bring it with me to the parks. I also have some issues with my bladder. My advice is this- no matter what you read, what you hear, what anyone else tells you-...

    Future mk expansion/attractions... Pirates! Weigh in...

    I LOVE it. I hope it gets done. I love the old PotC ride and want that to stay, but I would love to see much more devoted to Pirates as its my favorite franchise. I love Captain Jack, I love the movies, and I would LOVE more.

    Universe of Energy with Phineas and Ferb?

    Let's face it- those days are over. At this point, as much as I am an "old school" Epcot fan, I'm for anything that will get money and attention to Epcot so that all the original pavilions just don't get unloved, broken, and then abandoned, only to be torn down for completely new attractions...

    Disney horror story forum

    I gotta agree with you on that one, 100%. If you are paying so much for a resort, it's NOT too much to ask that the room be spotless. No bloody bandaids, no clumps of hair, no piles of dust. Part of why we stopped staying at Disney resorts is because the cleanliness has gone WAY downhill. We...

    Toy Story 4?

    I've read many interviews with the stars/Pixar ppl that have stated everyone is open to TS4 if the script is strong enough. I have my fingers crossed- I fell in love with little Bonnie and would love to see more Woody and Buzz!

    Future World and Updating Opinions

    True. Absolutely. But instead of spending money on new resorts, Disney should throw some money to their parks on things that are already there, and not just sit and wait for a sponsor to materialize or redevelop things based on the newest hot property. I wish there were some sort of "Disney...

    Future World and Updating Opinions

    I think JII needs to be completely redone, with Crayola as a sponsor. Actually, I'd be so happy if they just went back to the first version of it. Just *something* that makes it enchanting again- when I was a kid, JII and the playground was basically the best part of my trips to Disney (this is...
