    Info on who fits/who does not - for FJ - post here if you've been

    Hmmm.. I rode FJ twice in November. I am 5'3" and am size 24 with a lot of my weight around my middle. I tried the test seat outside the attraction and got the yellow light so knew that I had to use the modified seat once I got to the attraction. I had no problems fitting on the ride at all...

    Disney Vacation In August

    I don't usually go to DL during the summer months, but I'm taking a "newbie" and want to take her when the parks are open late every night and everything is up and running. Have some questions: How bad are the crowds during the week during the summer months? Can anyone direct me to...

    Renting An ECV on Harbor Blvd..

    Thanks everyone. It was OC Medical that we rented from last time. I liked the convenience of them being just a few doors down from us. We needed to exchange ECVs a couple of times but not because of faulty equipment.. just stupidity on the part of the driver. :rotfl:

    Renting An ECV on Harbor Blvd..

    Hi everyone! Been a long time since I posted here. Our family went to WDW in November and had a great time, but I can't wait to go back to my home park in Anaheim. I'm thinking of a trip in August. I want to go when the parks stay open late.. there's nothing like the magic of DL after dark...

    Info on who fits/who does not - for FJ - post here if you've been

    I just got back from Florida today and thought I'd share my experience with The Forbidden Journey. I'm a short, round person. 5' 3", and weigh 230 lbs. Size 24/26 pants, 4T blouse and a 48C bra. (Sorry for the graphic talk guys, but this stuff is important to us women.) Anyway.. I fit...

    Weather Looks Great For Our Trip!

    We leave Friday morning from Seattle where they're calling for a balmy 39 degrees for our early morning departure. When we land in Orlando around 6:00 PM, it's gonna feel downright hot at 70 degrees! :rotfl: Looks like temps will be in the upper 70s to low 80s during the day time hours...

    Directions From MCO...

    Could someone please tell me the easiest way to get from MCO to Toll Road 417? We're arriving in Orlando at 5:45 PM next Friday evening so I expect I4 to be quite congested. I know I5 is awful on Friday nights here in Seattle. I'd like to use 417 to get to the West Side of WDW. We're...

    Distilled water for CPAP

    You guys are so far ahead of me. I just got my CPAP today and silly me.. the thing scares me to death. :rotfl: Don't know why. I tried the "pillows" style, but I'm a mouth and nose breather so couldn't get to sleep because I was concentrating all night trying to breathe only through my nose...

    Airport Security

    I'm using an Alaskan Airlines courtesy WC at the airports, so there should be no problem with that. I'm just going to have the approved POC and prescriptions with me besides my regular carry on.

    Airport Security

    I'm going to be traveling with oxygen and medications. I've already done all the paperwork necessary & made sure that my POC is approved by Alaska Airlines... they have noted my reservation. I'll also be in a WC. Dealing with security at the airport has me a bit apprehensive. SeaTac &...

    Do you use E-cigarettes in the park?

    I bought the Addison vapor start up kit because it's what was available in the smoke shop near me. Mine looks like a black pen. You don't really "light" them up. There's a rechargeable battery that screws onto another part that looks like a filter. When you take a puff on the E-cig, a blue...

    Do you use E-cigarettes in the park?

    I started vaping 10 days ago. Haven't wanted a real cigarette since the day I began. I use "0" Nictotine/Menthyl flavor. I say the product is a miracle for those of us who want to quit but have a problem with the habit itself. Lots of folks are hooked on the nicotine, but I've always been...

    MIL might be on oxygen.

    I use 2 psi at home. I have a couple of portable cylinders (size 6?) that have a shoulder strap. I'd like to use those in the parks. 2 should be plenty for a full day. One would probably be enough, but rather have more than I need than not enough. I'll ask my O2 supply company here to ask...

    MIL might be on oxygen.

    I was diagnosed with PH a few days ago.. just 3 weeks before our WDW vacation! :sad2: Talk about scrambling to learn the ins and outs of O2 very quickly. :scared1: I've really had no time to come to terms with this disease yet, but maybe that's a good thing right now. My Health care and...

    Disney With Oxygen

    I was just diagnosed with Pulmonary Hypertension. :sad1: But I'm not going to let it get me down. We head to Florida on November 12th and I intend on having the time of my life. :) I just have some questions about using oxygen in parks. Between my Dr's assistant and the Oxygen supply...

    Is Jaws Seasonal?

    We're going to Universal/IOA the week of Nov. 15 - 19. The one and only other time we visited Orlando, was the same week in 2005 and Jaws was not running. Does anyone know if these dates are a regularly scheduled down time for the attraction? Ripsaw Falls wasn't running either. I can't...

    Difficulty walking in airport

    I can walk short distances, but not long distances. I'm flying Alaska in November. I requested a wheelchair through them. It should be waiting for me when I check in at the counter. (can't check in online because of special request) My husband will be pushing me through both Seattle and...
