Have you considered Coronado Springs? We found that Disney hotel to have the best transportation out of the 3 moderates we have stayed at. They are also a business/convention center. We only saw kids at breakfast time. The bus trips were 10-15 mins to the parks.

I was diagnosed with depression nearly 20 years ago. Disney is truly my happy place!:)

My daughter has worn AFO's since she was about 3 and is now 13. We rent a wheelchair for Disney, because she has cerebral palsy. Though she walks independently she fatigues very easily. I have found that the heat is a strong factor in the amount of fatigue as well. She walks when she wants...

It seems that my original question has been misunderstood. I realize that not everyone can see or understand the needs of a disabled person, but how do you handle the complaints and comments of others? Our DD is loaded onto the bus with her chair but we always help her to transfer so that...

Thank you, clanmcculloch!

She would like to attend a youth educational series program, particularly the energy and waves class. Has anyone attended any of these classes and would being in a wheelchair impede any of the behind the scenes activities?

That's the thing, too. DD is able to transfer, but certainly cannot stand unattended, nor make more than a few steps on her own. When people hear that she has CP, they say she looks fine. However, they don't know what they are looking for. You don't see the AFO's underneath her pants or...

I usually don't but on our last trip we had a complaint that pushing our DD12 in a wheelchair all day is no different than this particular guest pushing her baby stroller all day, and why should the parent who was not pushing the wheelchair be allowed to accompany them since it means I would be...

We went to Disney in Sep 2010. I had such a great time and could not stop talking about it to everyone. Many people commented that they had never seen me so happy - and that was just a conversation about my stay.:) As soon as free dining came out in 2011 I put down my deposit and decided I...

This will be our second trip and I am so excited!! My DD12 is not even as happy as I am.:confused3 We went last year during the last week of Sept with another family. Speaking to a few regulars we learned that it was the best time for crowds. Although I had a good time last trip, I am...

Thank you

Has anyone noticed if 2010 pins are available in the parks? We didn't get one with the actual year on it last year, and have just decided that would be one of our traditions. Last year was our first trip so I would really like to have one.

Yes, we are in the process of having her fitted through her disability center, but we would not have it in time for this trip.

This forum is so helpful!! How likely is it that I can get a length of stay wheelchair from my resort? Last year we rented from each park, but the distances to and from the buses to the rental places were, in some cases, too long and at the end of the day for DD 12, who has CP. DH and I...
