I have a lot of swelling of my feet due to heart failure. I wear Teva's, they look like a combination of sandals and tennis shoes. For me they are the most comfortable shoe I've ever owned!

Or if heat REALLY bothers you, buy a cooling vest. They work great! Just put cooling vest under a search engine and you can find different ones.

Hi, So sorry to hear about your DH. I too had a Quad Bypass a couple of years ago. It's funny, but I couldn't tolerate the heat before my bypass, now it's the cold that does me in. Never satisfied :rotfl2: You have got some good suggestions on ways for him to conserve energy. Another suggestion...

When you sign up for magical express on the disney website, it ask if you need a bus with a wheelchair lift. How magical would it ge if they weren't offering buses with lifts?

Hi, I've had my brandnew powerchair damaged by Delta, but if you take a foldup powerchair I think you will be fine. The problem is that they have to stow powerchairs in with the luggage. That means if you have a big chair liike mine that they have to turn it on it's side, in order to get it in...

We had a woods view right by the otter pond. It was on the first floor, just off of the lobby. Great location and great room. It was kinda small, but could get around it in a powerchair with no problem, even the bathroom.:teeth:

I too have ms. I agree with all of the other posters. I use a steel vest and other cooling things. With a dx you can get them free from the multiple sclerosis association. There a great help and keep you from tiring too quick. They have an application on thir website. Just look up MSAA on a...

This is a great thread. Thanks!::yes:: My wonderful DH has neurofribromatosis. In his case it was inherited from his mother. He has many tumor including a plexiform on his neck and cheek causing a facial difference. He also has a plexiform tumor on his sciatic nerve behind his knee, which he is...

Hi Chuck, I have ms also, as well as diabetes so I know all about the needles! I give myself 5 shots a day, but am soon going to the pump.Take them on your carry on. They might get lost if you check them. You will not need a prescription for them just make sure that your prescription label is...

We have had the same problems at Fiesta Texas. They are not wheelchair or disabled friendly. I always get the feeling that they would just rather not bother with us there, but they have too. It sure makes you appreciate WDW! BTW, Sea World in San Antonio does a much better job with the...

My DH inherited some $$$ and he wanted to take my whole family to WDW. There was 18 in all. It had always been my mother's dream. We had a blast, but I agree with the poster that said to think of everyone's negative qualities, and have a plan to deal with them all. My SIL is always late to...

We used Mears w/c transportation to and from the airport. They were great, I can't say enough good things about them. When going from resort to resort, it is very easy to take your resort bus to the ticket and transportation center and transfer there to the momorail or the bus to whatever resort...

:bounce: Oh, I love this ride and would never go without my glasses because then i couldn't see anything. We rode it 8 times and didn't have a problem with the glasses, but my elbow was bruised from pressing so hard. LOL Just be sure and get your glasses tightenung before you leave. :Pinkbounc

:wave2: Hi cupcake, I just got back from the lodge in Nov. I was unable to use the boat because there was about a 3" step up and there was no room to manuver a powerchair once you were on it. The boats were pretty little and had small aisles. That being said, the WL was accessible in every...

We stayed in room 1026. It was a great handicapped accessible room. Just steps from the otter pond with a patio. Had a king size comfy bed and a walkin shower. The thing we liked the best location, location, location.:bounce: :bounce: Just a short walk to the RF cafe(free cokes) and a...

'Ultimately whether you feel the magic is going to be up to you. If you let a piece of chipped paint, or a trash can that might be a little too full or one CM who might be having a bad day ruin your whole trip then that is your fault. ' I, did not let the fact that I could see the difference...

I don't think the Roy Disney has effected them as much as the cut backs. I was a little disappointed in Disney this year. I remember the days when WDW was a pristine park with everything well maintained. This year the parks were dirty and everything needed paint. We also didn't see as many CM...

When I went 3 weeks ago, RnR was one of those rides where you go through the regular line. You get to see the preshow and then your sent to the exit. They have a special car, that the door opens for easier transfer. I'm sure we took longer than 30 sec but no one hurried us along like Peter Pan...

We sat there all 3 night that we saw it. Pretty good view, but you have to watch out and not sit behind trees that could block your view. Also you can't really see much of the parade from this spot. Have a great time!:tongue: :tongue:
