Here's a copy of an email I recieved from Sea World recently in response to my inquiry re: their policy: Dear Michelle: SeaWorld Orlando offers a discount for guests with disabilities and one support companion. The discount is intended for guests who are not able to reasonably enjoy our...

Here's a copy of some of the food from my recent trip report. The report http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1008691 has lots more pictures, but thought I'd put some of the food ones here as well: The following are two counter-service meals from Mara (a drink was included as well)...

I wanted to thank all of you who helped me plan my trip with my frail 84 year old mother in December. I posted a trip report on the trip report board and hopefully, this link will take you there: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1008691 I couldn't have done it without you!

Traveling with a frail senior forces you to slow down a bit, and enjoy the smaller things that Disney has to offer rather than rushing from ride to ride. Often many of those little things – finding a pair of sun glasses that fit just right, listening to the drummers outside of Japan or the...

Epcot is my mother’s and my favorite park, so we went early several days and also went several evenings for the Candlelight Processional and dinner. We saw Illuminations twice, both times from handicapped sections across from the arched bridge – wonderful view. The first time, the air was...

We had never been to MGM studios before. We initially went to see Osborn Lights during Evening Magic Hours at MGM. Aughhh. Very bad mistake. (Note to self: Never, ever, go see Osborn lights during extra magic hours over the Christmas season. Don’t do it! Don’t even think about it!) The...

We went to Animal Kindom and rode the Kilamanjaro Safari three times, seeing different animals on each trip. The cast members were excellent with my mother’s wheelchair, strapping it securely on-board. She did fine in the wheelchair, as it is padded and designed for her, but the ride would...

This was a special trip as, due to my Mother's increasing frailness, it was unlikely that she would be able to make another extended vacation trip. As it turned out, it was her final trip – a trip that brought her joy and left memories that will always remain. We (84 year old DM, a frail...

OK, let's see how this works. Testing two, three four Loving Tigger Christmas 2005

Just came from MGM extra magic hours on December 10th (Saturday) night. Note to self (and any others that may be interested): Do not, repeat, do not go to MGM during extra magic hours with Osburne Lights. I have never seen such crowds and I was at Disney at Thanksgiving last year which is...

I mailed a large suitcase off to Animal Kingdom Lodge this afternoon to await my arrival on December 7th. I'm traveling with my mother who is in a wheelchair and has mild dementia. Hence messing with baggage claims, suitcase transfers etc. is more bother than under normal circumstances. Now...

Just wanted to mention that the early show is at 5:00 pm not 5:30 pm. I'd plan to get in line 45 minutes to an hour ahead of time. Enjoy!

I appreciate all the suggestions. I'll check out some of the sites and options mentioned!

I'm taking my elderly Mom to DW the second week of December for a week. She is very frail and struggles with dementia as well. I plan to make a relatively simple scrapbook of our trip, as she cannot remember well enough to describe things, but wants to tell others what she did. With the...

My elderly mother needs to rest most afternoons due to frail health. The majority of the trip I've planned a morning to late lunch park visit, then a rest time back at the resort before another park/dinner visit in the late afternoon and evening. However, the day prior to leaving we'll...

I purchased MVMCP tickets for Dec. 9th, then found out that was the only day that I could get a medical procedure arranged for my Mom in our hotel room by a visiting medical service. I called ticket services and explained the situation and they had me mail them back the tickets and sent me new...

After reading this thread, I'm excited. I made reservations for my 80-something year old mother and I for dinner prior to MVMCP in December without being sure what the menu was really like. It sounds like something she'll really enjoy. Michelle

I don't think you'll need dial up. Wireless should be activiated. See this link: http://www.wdwinfo.com/wdwinfo/Resorts/wireless.htm I think the only resorts that do not have High Speed Access are the Value Resorts. From the link -- While all of the Disney resorts have dial-up access, the...

Flew Delta to Rome and back this September. No charge for headphones in coach. The cabin attendants were great -- I'd broken my foot while biking in Sardinia and they cleaed out a 3 seat section for me (on a very full flight), so that I could keep the foot elevated -- made all the difference...
