    Packet pickup logistics

    I hesitate to push the FP+ later, because I understand that you have to use all three of them in order to be able to make more.

    Packet pickup logistics

    I guess I was confused by that. Now that I have downloaded the race weekend program, I see the language about host resorts. Everything else made it sound like that was only available on race day. I think I'll probably just end up skipping the Barnstormer. These FP+ are such a hassle.

    Packet pickup logistics

    It's my understanding from what I was reading today, that busses only run to WWS from those three resorts (all star, pop, CBR). I'm not going back to my resort (BWV). But I think I have to go MK->CBR (or wherever)->WWS and then do the reverse to get back. If the expo doesn't open until 10...

    Packet pickup logistics

    I think our FP+ start around 9:30am so that makes morning difficult but maybe easier if I do end up having to use a cab. any idea what the fare would be?

    Packet pickup logistics

    It looks like race packet pickup for the Disney Princess 5k is only on Thursday from 10am-8pm at WWS. I'm looking at my FP+ and dinner reservation at MK... I have approximately a 3 hour window. I think I have to take a bus from MK to Pop/Caribbean Beach/All Star resort then catch another...

    Princess 5k starting questions

    OK, I can answer one of my own questions. The website says the 5k starts at 6:15am/3:15am my time... Eep.

    Princess 5k starting questions

    This will be my first Disney race (and my first race ever, actually). I think I'm pretty set in terms of being able to finish it, but I was wondering: (1) What TIME does this race start? What TIME do I need to be at the starting area? (I'm coming from the west coast and I'm pretty sure...

    Gluten Free Dining at the Disneyland Resort: A Superthread

    Are these fresh or pre-packaged? (I greatly dislike the dry pre-packaged options. I can buy those at my local grocery store and not like them anyway at home. I opt for fruit over those any day.)

    Gluten Free Dining at the Disneyland Resort: A Superthread

    Pretty sure the mickey ears (chocolate covered vanilla ice cream) are GF. Alas, (at least the last time I was there) the chocolate mousse parfaits that they serve at the counter service locations are made in a common kitchen (therefore not *guaranteed* to be gluten free even though they are...

    The (un)OFFICIAL PALEO/PRIMAL/SCD Thread!

    I have done GF at both WDW and DL and it was blessedly easy. At table service restaurants, you alert your server and the chef comes to you to consult on your options. At counter service locations, you speak with a manager or a chef. It doesn't seem like it would be a great stretch for...

    feeling frustrated

    Do you know whether you have hypothyroidism or Hashimoto's? The latter is an autoimmune disease, so merely treating the thyroid doesn't address the autoimmune issues that continue to wreak havoc on your system.

    The (un)OFFICIAL PALEO/PRIMAL/SCD Thread!

    Following, as an Autoimmune Paleo Protocol diet has been suggested to me many times. It seems overwhelming just to try to follow at home and I'm curious as to how such things work when you can't eat at home.

    What do restaurants have to offer if ..

    Gluten free is easy. You'll have to talk to a chef or manager at each restaurant, so allow for extra time. What I'm unsure of is whether you can actually follow an AIP (Autoimmune Protocol) diet in the parks. Still researching that.

    Issues standing for long periods of time (take 2)

    Fortunately, Disney's policy, as stated on their web page, isn't as narrow as y'all make it out to be. In other places, I simply relocate to somewhere I can either walk around or sit and wait. If it was a wait to see Santa at the mall, for instance, the kids wait in line with my husband and...

    Why no doctor notes?

    What I'm saying is that if a person is willing to go through the effort of creating a realistic-looking doctor's letter, they are surely more than willing to lie straight up to the cast member face to face.

    Issues standing for long periods of time (take 2)

    Let me guess... Disney RENTS wheelchairs, so they profit by making this policy?

    Issues standing for long periods of time (take 2)

    But I do not need a wheelchair. I have no mobility issues. Making me use a wheelchair takes a wheelchair away from someone who needs one in addition to giving me a heavy piece of equipment (that I don't need) to deal with. Edited to add: I am 100% thrilled to be doing the parks without a...

    Why no doctor notes?

    I don't see why a doctor's note is less credible than a person standing there claiming a disability that isn't necessarily visible. (The ADA requirement, I understand...)

    Issues standing for long periods of time (take 2)

    Background: I have degenerative disk disease and have suffered from several lumbar sprains. I am absolutely fantastic -- as long as I keep moving. If I stand still or relatively still (in a slowly moving line) for 15-30 minutes or more, I will be in such tremendous pain that I will not be...

    Service Dog Advice for Disneyland?

    Thank you so much for the tips! I passed them along. Their dog is relatively new to their family, so your information will be very helpful.
