Should I follow up with a phone call just before we go or a fax or just don't worry.

We made our reservations and talked to the CM about a special cleaning for DD, she said she will forward it to someone in guest relations for guest with special needs. Do you think this will be fine or should I just follow up with a call. I don't want them to think I am pestering them. She also put in a building request for something close to a bus stop.
She also said we should think about a GAC for DD I told we had gotten her one last time. So should I bring her old one with us to just give to the CM when we get her new one, so we also remember what stamps were on it?

Regarding the cleaning, if the CM said they contacted someone is the special needs department, you could call that department. The phone number is in the post about resorts in the disABILITIES FAQs thread. There is a link to that thread in my signature or you can find it near the top of the thread list for this board.

If you have the old GAC, it is usually useful to bring it with you. The CMs may still ask you some questions about your child's needs. There is more information about GACs in post #6 of the disABILITIES FAQs thread.

I would not worry about being a pest, you are just trying to make sure you have the needs of your family met. I call at least 3 times "just to check" before we go. The special needs department is great about making sure you get what you need. The special cleaning helps us a lot, but if you have issues with dust, be sure to check behind the TV. They sometimes forget to wipe back there.

thanks,
our biggest concern is if they can change the filter or blow out the AC for the dust in there. Settled dust isn't as big a problem for her its the moving stuff but we still try to keep her exposure to any of it limited as we can.
She has pulmonary and cardio issues, We are also going to go pick up a air cleaner the first day. Her's is too big, to bring on the plane.
We are one of those families who get the look because DD needs to use her stroller off and on and goes in spells where she is like any other child 5 year old full of energy and in and out of her stroller then she drops like a rock ,its like a switch with her.
We are bringing notes from her cardiologist and pulmonary specialist

They should change the filter for you with no problem, they do for us. As for the stroller " looks" we get them too, but during our last trip we did not notice as much. I don't know if people are getting nicer or if our skin is just getting thicker Either way, we had a great time and I hope that you do too.
