Instead we went to the Jungle book. We entered the normal line wheelchair and all. We got to a point the wheelchair would not fit. I got up and walked with crutches. Stephen carried the wheelchair through the turnstyle. Opps! We made the mistake of not consulting the handicap guide. There was no one at the entrance of the the regular line to tell us where to go. We should have entered through the exit. They CM's were very understanding, they took the wheelchair to the exit. We got on the boat.

This was very similar to WDW's Jungle Cruise. There were some differences, I will not share for those of you who have not experienced it. It seemed longer to me. I enjoyed this attraction.
We then headed to Indiana Jone's Adventure. We made sure to consult the HC guide. It said to go through the exit, so we did. This exit was pretty long. I know we missed most of the fun stuff in the line.
So you go to nearby where the track is. I thought you would load from the opposite side of the track, instead they have an elevator. You get in the elevator go up then go across over top of the track, then you get in another elevator to take you back down to the loading level. The system works well except when there are a large number of people needing this. You must repeat this in reverse when you leave the attraction.
I really enjoyed this attraction. I wish they would add something similar to this at WDW. It bounced around some, I was afraid it might be an issue with my foot it was not. The issue I had was I was sitting with this wheel at my knees I kept bumping into it.
Tarzan's Treehouse- I did not experience this. Too many steps, plus there were other things I wanted to do
We then headed to Pirates of the Caribbean. I loved this ride even more then the one at WDW.
So in order to enter this ride in a wheelchair, you have to enter to the left of the Blue Bayou. This is not anywhere near the entrance, it is not well marked as being Pirate's exit. . We actually tried to enter into a closet.
Which is directly to the left of the Blue Bayou.This is my one complaint there were not always cast members at the normal entrance to direct us, the instructions in the pamphlet were not always the best, and the signs were not that great.
One of these days I will eat at the Blue Bayou
Wheelchair users load from the opposite side everyone else does. I also should point out as a wheelchair user your party can total 6, including the person in a wheelchair to use the wheelchair entrance. We had exactly 6 people.
The one thing that made no sense is some rides made me take the crutches with others did not.
Pirate's Lair
We split up at this point Stephen and I rode the Haunted Mansion, the rest found lunch. I was warned that this ride was bad for those with walking issues due to the moving walkway. I had no issues with the moving walkway. However it still caused issues.
First of all you leave your wheelchair outside and have to walk inside to the stretching room, you have to stand in the stretching room, from here you have to walk through the hall of statues, then you have to get in the que, then you have the moving walkway. It is a lot of walking for someone who can not walk much. They warn you that you have to walk so many yards. None of this was really the issue. The real issue was at the end of the ride. You get onto the moving walkway alongside the ride, this was still not an issue. The big issue, the normally moving ramp walkway was broken down. It is bouncy and at a pretty good angle. I made it up but it hurt. I rode this the next day it was still broken down. Not sure when or if they plan on fixing it. I was glad I had my crutches on this ride. You then had to walk back outside to claim your wheelchair.

I cleaned her up and laid with her for a bit while Eric cleaned up the bathroom. Poor guy gets all the dirty jobs. Thankfully Emma has been fine since then. She had no fever or repeats so I have no idea what caused it.

Hi, Janet!
We attended the wedding at 3:30. It was a coworker of Chris'. Colby has always been smitten with his girlfriend (now wife). It was a simple outdoor wedding with a nice reception. I really think they were trying to keep costs at a minimum and they did all the food and decorations themselves. The bride asked to have her picture taken with Colby and that was all he needed to attach himself to her for the rest of the evening. They danced together and he basically followed her around. Everytime I tried to keep him with us she would ask him onto the dance floor so I guess she was enjoying him too. You should have seen him on the stage breakdancing
