    DAS changes coming WDW May 20/ DL June 18, 2024

    Why would they NEED to help the other person? Disney only needs to accommodate a disabled individual's needs, not someone's wants. A suggestion from Disney could be for possible drop-in travel companions to buy Genie + and to enter LL's together when it's the Genie + members time to go...

    The reason they don't want folks to swap out their own DAS parties is probably b/c limit 4 in future Disney DAS does NOT mean "guarantee 4" if you get the DAS. I could completely see some adult solos getting "DAS LIMIT 1" as their option since they can travel solo, so they wouldn't need guests...

    So much Disney food is terrible

    The way to maximize happiness and minimize cost is to plan on one "what meal do we really want to have" per day, and plan the time to enjoy it. For the rest - have a room fridge. Even better if you have a room microwave, or even oven. Plan morning meals for the room, and then either plan to...

    Mother’s Day project at church

    There's International Women's Day on March 8 for celebrating all women. It's become a big thing the last few years, with serious national press.

    If it can't work and it will ruin your trip, you may consider delaying your trip til you trust your oldest to ride by herself in front of mom and your younger child.

    Mother’s Day project at church

    Since it's going to be publicly shown and "forever", I'd avoid anything too embarrassing or depressing... Since it's Church-related, I'd probably ask a question related to how your Church community has helped them on their path as moms...

    Who Pays? A Going Out To Dinner Question….

    Here's the thing...if you don't ask for separate checks at the time of order, it becomes a huge pain in the behind for the waitstaff at many places to do it later. So, if you think there is a chance you want to do separate checks, you'll want to ask at the order time, and that's where the "no...

    It's 120 days or the end date of your ticket media, whichever date comes FIRST. So, APs and other non-dated tickets would get 120 days, but folks on set tickets that expire (like a 7 day PH) will have their pass expire at the end of the final ticket use.

    If approved for DAS, you will likely be at a max of 4 for your party, all-inclusive. So, yes, part of your traveling party will not be included on the DAS and you will have to adapt under Disney's new stated policy.

    DAS changes coming WDW May 20/ DL June 18, 2024

    I think what you mean to say is that if a non-DAS accommodation will STILL work for some people/types of disabilities, they will offer that. Nothing will work BETTER than DAS, but it doesn't need to. For the law, it just needs to be reasonable and work "enough".

    This goes back to my "greater scrutiny on developmental disabilities in adults" is probably coming.

    No, they can't cure the disability, but almost every major medical site has stated that through treatment, the symptoms of the disease can be mitigated for many as they age, so it's no guarantee that a disabled autistic child will need the same services as a disabled autistic adult. Some...

    Who Pays? A Going Out To Dinner Question….

    I'd just ask for separate family checks when the waiter takes your order. It's what I do when my friends and I triple couples date - it works SO well to not have hard feelings when everyone knows they are just paying and tipping for themselves. PS - We are already handling 2 of the 3 couples...

    As far as Universal's current policy, I'm sure they are watching Disney closely this summer, and will be adjusting based on how Disney's new plan is received and implemented, prior to opening their big new park in 2025. AKA - They may also be accumulating all their data for a slam dunk case...

    Yes, being one, allergy folks are usually highly restricted on menus and occassionally can't even eat certain courses. But you still pay the same price if it's prix fixe, buffet, or character meal. No discount for the lack of usage.

    In the end, legally, Disney does not need to make sure every person on the planet can ride their rides and enter their theme park. They just need to do what is reasonable for every person on the planet to ride their rides and enter their theme park. If it requires heroic, expensive efforts on...

    I am assuming that will be the accommodation for all competent single and 2 person adult parties.
