disabilities

Hi. I've been reading about and viewing the posts about getting tickets for this ride. It seems that tickets are only available for a short period early in the morning. No problem understanding that. My question is how to get from the resort, Grand Floridian in my case, to Hollywood Studios at...

Good morning Disney Friends!!!! I have been a member of the Dis since 2009 (has it really been 10 years since our first trip?) but it has been awhile since I have posted or even been on here so I thought it was a good time to start again. As the thread says I am a single mom and this will...

In this episode, the team discusses the experience of traveling to Walt Disney World with a disability or with a family member who has one. Enjoy the show, everybody! :flower1:

This is a Magic Kingdom communication I made for my daughter's iPad using the communication app called Proloquo2Go. I use Core Words on every page,which allows her to build sentences rather than rely on preprogrammed sentences of what I think she might want to say The message at the top of...

Bug's Life Fastpass Plus leads to the front if the theater. This includes wheelchair spots in the front row

This bag was made from a fabric lunchbox from Target. With some rearrangement of the straps, it now is a storage bag for under my daughter's wheelchair.

This is a screenshot from the new WDW Guidebook for Guests with Cognitive Disabilities. It has tables including this information on each WDW attraction. The booklet is 41 pages and is full of helpful information.

This is the view from the doombuggy toward the exit. We loaded at the unload area. We waited in a side hallway and came thru the he area toward the front of the picture. When we unload, we will follow the hallway ahead to get out of the building.

This is the back hallway, looking toward the unload area, where guests with disabilities load into the doom buggies. The yellow line marks the end of the moving walkway. The blob on the right side of the picture is a trash can outside of the exit. The doom buggies are to the left of the picture...

This is looking up the exit hallway toward outside. The ride unload area, which is also the handicapped boarding area is behind the camera.

After exiting the Stretching room, we were led to this hallway where we waited behind the sign (the sign is on the right side of the picture). The hallway in front of the picture leads to the exit/handicapped boarding area. The boarding area is to the left. Outside is to the right of the picture.

The plaque marks the entrance from the stretching room to the disabilities entrance to the boarding area. It is dim, but not as dark as it looks in the picture.

Guests with disabilities or using mobility devices are asked to stay to one side after the stretching room show. The kind of glowing oval to the right of the picture is a reflection on a plaque that marks the handicapped exit.

This is the entrance to the Haunted Mansion. Previously, there was a set of turnstiles at this entrance, which prevented guests with mobility devices from entering.

There are rows of seats inside each elevator. The rows further back are up a step from the row in front. There is a narrow set of stairs between the rows.

Thanks to Bill Sears. This attraction is due for renovation in 2012, so not sure how this will change.

Expedition Everest has a trial car where you can practice getting in and out to see what will work for you. Thanks to Bill Sears.

Test Track has an alternate boarding area for guests using wheelchairs. Rather than go down to ground level to get into the car, you can board at the seat belt check area where the ride car if above ground. It is a bit like transferring over the side of a bathtub. The guest with a wheelchair...

This car is not wheelchair accessible, but has a wider opening to make it easier to load. You do need to ASK for it if you want it. They dont automatically load you to that car unless you ask.
