mommie2angels, I just wanted to say that I appreciate you and your girls including the United Mitochondrial Disease Foundation in your list of charities. My daughter also has mitochondrial disease. BTW, I enjoyed reading on your web site about your daughters meeting the characters. It...

Nat, Thanks! I hadn't thought of searching pinpics. After you suggested it, I found lots of good info there!

Does anyone happen to know if the Disney Stores in Great Britain sell pins? If they do, are the pins the same as those sold in the US Disney Stores, or are they unique to the UK? Thanks!

Wright's makes a whole line of Disney patches; I've seen them at Jo Ann Fabrics, Hobby Lobby, and Walmart. I believe they run about $2 each at Walmart and Hobby Lobby, and HL has been known to put all their patches on sale half price...

We have viewed Illuminations from a couple of the wheelchair sections. The one at the entrance to World Showcase that JudithM mentioned was hands down the best, in our experience. Enjoy!

grover and bananiem, I checked out the web sites, and it looks like I've got lots of great choices! Thanks so much!

Does anyone happen to know of good scrapbook stores in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area? Have a favorite? Thanks!

Saturday97, It was so nice of you to keep me in mind. I had never been to that area of the Disney web site before. What fun! I printed some things out, just in case Alice is gone after the end of May. Thanks!

Thanks, saturday97! That's awesome!

Thanks everyone! Great ideas! The Alice peeking out the top sounds so cute. I hadn't thought of clipart or a coloring book. I've actually got some Alice coloring pages from the Disney Store left from my DDs' birthday party a few years ago...if I can find them. I'm excited to hear there's...

Does anyone know if WDW--or any place else--has scrapbook supplies featuring Alice in Wonderland? Thanks!

Thanks, Michigan. The girls are 16, so too big for sleds, but thanks for the idea. I'll have to pass it along to some friends with younger kids.

Thanks, Sue. I can give them a call. Was just hoping someone might have personal experience.

Has anyone been to Disney's Vero Beach Resort and used the beach wheelchair they have available to borrow there? If so, can you describe it? My girls used the one at the Polynesian to get into the pool; it was way too big for them, and the PVC pipe it was made out of hit them in all the wrong...

Hi. We have two teen DD's in wheelchairs and have also gone about once a year since they were two. I think you will have great fun! The last time we went I explained to a cast member in guest services that one of the girls cannot tolerate heat and fatigues very easily (she has a rare...

Hi Jane, When we went to San Angel last summer, the host took us to the left side of the restaurant and down a ramp to a back entrance. Once inside, my girls had a little trouble getting through the aisles because the tables were close together. When you get to the restaurant, you might...

Thanks, Sue! I figured when I didn't get any replies that there just weren't any west coasters reading. I found a few sites for her by doing some web searches, so I think those will help. They're there this week, and I'm crossing my fingers they're having a great time. Take care.

A friend of mine is going to DL for the first time. Her dd, age 6, has an undiagnosed illness (possibly a rare metabolic disorder) with hearing loss, profound fatigue, and heat intolerance, among other things. They have a "special" stroller for her because of fatigue. My friend is worried...

Thanks, Steve!

Do you know if the boat with the lift will hold one or multiple wheelchairs at once? I have two teens in wheelchairs, and both need to ride in their chairs. Just wondered if we'll need to send half the family and wait for the boat to come back around for the other half.
