What do you call an eternity?
Four Blondes in four cars at a four way stop.

You'd better hope that your blonde daughter with the high IQ doesn't see this thread. I know Stacey and Leilani will see it. Better duck!

I tell the TA....
I've had it with that resort (the snail pulls its head back into its shell to read a book and have a calming snack) and, luckily for me I subscribe to the Cruise Meets thread for the westward repositioning cruise and one of those DIS-ers...one who met Cash and I on the May cruise and can testify to the fact that Cash and I really exist....suggested that I try the Tropicana, another Disney Good Neighbor Resort, just a stone's throw from that OTHER one...

Did my DH direct us all to a pornographic pirate name web site? Stacey, I like yours. And Leilani, "Dread Pirate" is a GOOD name. It's from Princess Bride!

That's what I'm beginning to think.

To be continued:

"Hello, TA?" (who shudders uncontrollably) "This is Lynda/Cash, a.k.a. the pirates Mighty Ripper."
"We would like you to get a price for a HANDICAPPED ACCESSIBLE room at the Tropicana, pretty please."
she agrees but returns with a strangely familiar e-mail....

To be continued:

and I repeat for any who might have missed it earlier...and for the page count...ADAguy says:

"This hotel is required to provide rooms for people with disabilities at all
price ranges as rooms provided to the general public. If they chose to make
all of their accessible rooms deluxe rooms that was their prerogative. It is
not their prerogative to charge people with disabilities for that choice.
Tell your travel agent that they are required to provide you with an
accessible room at the price you would be paying if you did not need a
wheelchair accessible room."

Any comments?.....

Being an experienced strategist, wise in the ways of how ordinary businesses HATE to be forced to follow Federal Civil Rights laws, I avoid the direct confrontation and let my TA off the hook, too..."Let me try their website..., I say in a pirately fashion...

Well Diana........put it this way, I can not type in my pirate name here at all what so ever.

To me it was quite funny....but for some it would have been inappropriate.

Don't get me wrong, I have heard it all and then some at the fire house.

If anyone is really curious and really wants to know it, I would certainly PM them with it.

Have a great day everyone.

Gus- you know now you will have to tell us all on the cruise!
Anybody else curious??

Well, I am off to visit the Mother Ship for flourescent light bulbs so we can have light in our kitchen. Then onto the Dentist to have my chipped crown replaced. Sounds fun huh??

To be continued:

Gee, nice website....easy to navigate, pretty pictures...any of the random accessible room with glowing descriptions of the fabulous make-your-life-easy amenities? Well, no. What else is new?

Ummm, book a room....Ok....Dates, check... non-smoking, check.... Size bed, check.... color wallpaper (kidding), price, check...$XX (not $XXX, gee, who could guess?)....Let's see...HANDICAPPED ACCESSIBLE, ?.........HANDICAPPED ACCESSIBLE, ....? Where do I select that?.....Oops, they must have missed that selection box.... How do I select handicapped accessible room?

Tina....no problem telling you BUT if anyone yells it out some heads will definately turn.

I suppose I have been called worse over the years.

To be continued:

STATEMENT: ..boring, but true...You cannot ever, in my experience, select a handicapped accessible room on a website. Why not?

If someone requests one and shows up not handicapped, treat them like a second-class citizen and move them to a broom closet...and charge them $30 a night extra for it. The word will get around....

It'll never happen....Why not? Any comments?

Remember...Page count...

No insipid questionnaire here! ....

To be continued:

 

[seaulater]

Tell us Lynda.....I'm dying to know the outcome!

AHA!....a small box at the bottom of the Tropicana web page labeled comments...


I comment that my electric scooter and I (see, pirate Mighty Ripper can learn, no mention of Service Dog) would like to reserve a HANDICAPPED ACCESSIBLE room.

Will they see that tiny note at reservation central?

To be continued:

 

[justmestace]

Now that it took me an hour and a half to read all this.....

GUS: PM it to me....I have no patience whatsoever, own a welding shop, work with a bunch of guys, I can handle it, and I'm dying of curiousity.

Handsome Handyman: Any more blonde jokes, and you're OVERBOARD! Got it??????

Lynda: Have you seen the Candy Cane Inn lately? I'm not sure you want to stay there.....although it has now become a matter of principle, I'm sure.

Also, another small tid bit......many of the motels (which is all they are) that now surround Disneyland are owned by foreigners. Several are owned by brothers. Not exactly sure what country these guys came from, but I think we may have troops over there somewhere. No flames, please....just the facts.

Using dial up this morning...it is SOOOO irritating. My Ethernet is lost somewhere in the netherworld.
