Disabled kid at Universal...

[SueOKW]

Hi!
My DS is 10, I have two DDs, 8 and 6. DS is in a wheelchair - spastic quadrapalegic cerebral palsy. In other words - can't walk, or hold himself up.

At WDW we are pros. We can take him out of his w/c for rides like Splash Mountain, Buzz, POTC etc. We don't go on rides that may "whip" his head about.

SO - goals this trip are:
Universal for him and DDs
Nickelodeon for all three.

Any tips - advice, books I should look at?
Thanks!
Sue

When you get to Universal, Immediately go to Guest Services and obtain an assisted access pass for your family. You may want to have a Dr's note with you as they can sometimes be strict about this.

When you get to each attraction, show the host your assisted access pass and they will let you know how to get on the attraction.

I would reccomend going to the Universal Guest Services office as opposed to IOA Guest Services as the Universal people seem to be friendlier and more accomodating than their IOA counterparts.

Thank you Jon! Will do! I bought two books last night, and plan to study hard.

Thanks for the help.
