Hi! Any tips on staying at AKL (Savanna view) with mobility issues? I keep reading conflicting info on what floor the lobby is in. I thought it would be easier to be on the 3rd floor if that's the same floor as the lobby. My mother is traveling with us and has an ECV, but figured it would be...

Thank you both so much for your replies! Jacqui, do you have the Pride mobility Go Go Elite traveler ECV? Is it the same ECV that you couldn't fit with through the doorway? I measured the chair with the armrest down and it's 20in wide. It's pretty narrow and easy to take apart. We are a...

Hi! I'm sorry, I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post since I have a question pertaining to DCL and not WDW. But, I couldn't find a disabilities thread in the DC forums so here goes :) My mom travels with us and we're planning a land and sea trip in Sept 2015. She has her own ECV...

Thanks for the tip! We're actually going to rent a car for a couple of days to visit US/IOA. But, for the most part we'll be using the Disney buses. Do you think it would be better to switch to another mod instead, where guest check in is easier? We loved both CSR and POR, but I like to try new...

Awesome! thank you!:)

Thank you all so much for your help! We booked CBR today and put in a request for a ground level room. We chose the preferred area so it's close to Old Port Royale. The preferred rooms seem to be quite a distance from the guest check in location so I don't I'd like to have her ride over on her...

Hi! We're planning on booking for 2015 and leaning towards CBR. I've read that the check in building is disconnected from the rest of the resort and you must take a shuttle or tram to your room. My mother will be traveling with us and has her own ECV. Can these shuttles accommodate an ECV? If...

This past Sep. we traveled to WDW with my mother who needs an ECV. Her body is riddled with arthritis and she has great difficulty walking. We waited on all the lines till we reached the handicap station. The bus drivers loaded us up first but whenever there was a long line I did not take a seat...

Great info! I also followed the link to the Disabilities thread but didn't find the answers to a few things I'm concerned about. I did find info on the wheelchairs but my mother is traveling with us and she will be bringing her own ECV. Will she be able to board the plane with the ECV and if so...

Thanks everyone for the tips! I will be letting the hostess know beforehand and getting him well prepared usually fends off any chances of a melt down. I always carry his ear plugs along to the parks since he's very sensitive to noises. I'll have those handy in case it gets too loud during...

Thanks DJFan! I appreciate your help!

My son is on the spectrum and I've always avoided this restaurant because I wasn't sure how he would react to the servers in character. Children on the spectrum tend to take things literally so I figured if the server were to tell my son he couldn't have dessert unless he cleaned his plate, he...

My son is on the spectrum and is very sensitive and picky about his food. He thinks it tastes the same as the refrigerated ones. I actually like the chocolate milk ones, they're very good. The almond ones do come in small individual containers with a straw like the regular juice boxes. I get...

My mother who has an ECV will be traveling along with us this Sept. We will have our own car. Just seems easier than having to get on the bus with it. I'm not a fan of using the Disney buses as it is, even without an ecv. She has the Go Go elite traveler and it comes apart easily.

My son can't have soy or dairy either. He drinks coconut milk (So Delicious brand) or almond milk. Both coconut and almond milk come in carton boxes, I always bring an extra suitcase that I fill with his special foods and drinks that don't need to be refrigerated. The carton milks only have to...

We always travel to WDW and the other Orlando theme parks in late Aug and Sept. It's very hot and humid but we love the low crowds.

Hi all! So glad to have found this thread. Although I'm quite new to the Disboards I'm not that new to homeschooling. We are going on our 6th year and loving it. I have DS who's 12 and DD is 7. DD has never set foot in a PS but DS has. I pulled him out when he was in 2nd grade. My only regret...

We usually travel to the world in Aug/Sep but I always bring a light jacket or sweater for my kids. Even though it's very hot, they have gotten a bit chilly when sitting indoors at a restaurant or if they've been on the water rides then go in somewhere with the a/c blasting. Always good to have...

Hello My mother will be traveling with us to WDW. Due to mobility issues she will be using her ECV. Where could I find the best spots for her to view the fireworks at Epcot and MK? Thanks!

Hi all! This thread has been very beneficial in planning our first drive down to WDW from Long Island, NY but I'm still unsure about time. I've read to leave either very early or very late, so my first plan was to leave around 3am and make an overnight stop in Savannah, GA. BUt, theres been...
