Well, I'm not Dee (Natebenma), nor do I play her on TV, but...... we did the Keys to the Kingdom tour this past June and there were two people in wheelchairs in our group. There are elevators to take you up, or down, both at Columbia Harbour House (lunch stop - upstairs seating area) and to access the utilidors. They took us on two attractions (Jungle Cruise and Haunted Mansion) and used a wheelchair accessible boat on the Jungle Cruise. One person opted not to ride Haunted Mansion because it would have difficult for him to get on the ride. I'm sure you wouldn't have a problem using an ECV. It was a great tour and I highly recommend it.

Always wanted to do this tour but I wasn't sure about the ECV. Makes me feel better even if I have to transfer to a wheel chair. Thanks for your help.

Our trip later this month is our first time to YC, so I don't know exactly how the entrance to SAB works, but I've read that every person in your party has to have their KTTW card to get in. Are they able to let you in with the Magicband instead now that the test has started, does anyone know? Thanks

Natebenma- I usually use an ECV, issues with one of my legs, and I know that you've done a lot of the tours. Do you know if the Keys to the Kingdom tour allows ECV's? I'd love to see the utilidors!!!! I looked at the tour website and nothing was mentioned.

Do you remember seeing any wheel chairs or ECV's?

We did Backstage Magic with mom in an ECV. She did fine. There was one point we had to take stairs in the Utilidors. I rode with her in an elevator and everyone else met us at the bottom.

Geesh, you go away for a week and look what happens! You have been a busy group!

DH and I spent a few days the Hudson Valley and NYC. It was DH's first visit to NYC. As we were on the tour bus, riding thru Manhatten, I asked him what he thought. His reply, "I have to keep reminding myself it's real. My brain keeping thinking it's fake because I'm used to the fake one at Hollywood Studios.".

(to keep this post on topic: you can walk or take a boat from YC/BC to DHS to see the fake NYC!)

Finally met Teena and the adorable Princess Lily on the way thru the lobby heading for Boma
She is a treasure. So is Lily. Lol

Dinner was great then a huge thunderstorm so we called it a night. Currently sitting at quiet pool. Doing a load of laundry during Illuminations

Surreal

Lol! My most favorite part of Hollywood Studios is the WD subway station 18th St. in Brooklyn... that is actually a real stop only it's the F line!!! 4 blocks from my house! I make sure I always stop there for pics when in HS! During the holiday lights the elfs are heading down the steps.. Love it!

I grew up right near the Church Avenue Station on the F line - lots of good memories of the best neighborhood (IMO) in Brooklyn.

Guests will still be issued KTTW cards along with the Magic Bands during the test. You will need to use your key card for SAB, from what I understand, since they haven't set it up for the MagicBands yet.

ETA: I guess they have set up the MagicBands for SAB now. That will be really nice to not have to worry about the cards at the pool.

What a storm at BC tonight

Good question, hope someone knows! It would be nice to use the band so I don't have to wear the swim case with card in it.

 

[Buzzster]

Every time we have gone to SAB, the guards have had readers to check KTTW or Magic Bands. You should not need both.

Yep--nice to be tucked safe and sound in our room now

 

[Buzzster]

No doubt. We have the corner room closest to the IG. It was cool to watch in come in.

The bands seem to have the advantage then since you don't need to carry or hide your KTTW while in the pool

This light show is amazing tonight

Was wondering where you went to in the Hudson Valley as that's where I live? The Woodstock area actually, which often seems like its a fake Hollywood scene lol. Really it is quite beautiful.

 

[Buzzster]

True though I did not realize the KTTW card is waterproof.

Have not tried it but I think it is

It got wet enough today in the rain and on Kali. Lol
