What Now?: Where Should Disney’s Disability Services Go From Here?

It sounds like Disney may be finally starting to listen to disabled guests who have been writing the executive team. No changes have been announced, but slowly over the last week, I’ve heard of several guests who have emailed Bob Iger, Josh D’Amaro, Jeff Vahle, and others, receiving phone calls to get more information. WeContinue reading “What Now?: Where Should Disney’s Disability Services Go From Here?”

“New DAS” Arrives to California Parks

After the awful rollout of the DAS changes at Walt Disney World in Orlando last month, there’s been a continuous evolution of the system. There’s still not much continuity in how the new “accommodation” systems are applied, and disabled guests are still being negatively affected by these changes. I apologize for it taking so longContinue reading ““New DAS” Arrives to California Parks”

Home Blog: Episode 8

So it’s been a while. I took a couple weeks to get that last post up. It’s been pretty chaotic. Before we really get started, HAPPY PRIDE! We’re not doing much to celebrate this year. Work schedules aren’t lining up with local events, but we’re still celebrating in our ow small ways. I was sickContinue reading “Home Blog: Episode 8”

Roundup Rodeo BBQ: Allergies and Accessibility

After a spending some time in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge and getting one ride in on Alien Swirling Saucers, we headed over to the entrance for Roundup Rodeo BBQ early.

Home Blog, Episode 7

This week our family started hosting a park day for our homeschool group. Park meetups were commonplace in our local homeschooling community before COVID-19, but in 2020 we were put on hiatus, and while we were “allowed” to have them more recently, the group leadership asked for us to resume consistently scheduled meets a coupleContinue reading “Home Blog, Episode 7”

Hollywood and Vine Breakfast: Allergies and Accessibility

We’ve done Hollywood & Vine’s Disney Junior Play n’ Dine character breakfast several times since our first trip to Disney’s Hollywood Studios in 2012. Any time we’ve gone to Hollywood Studios with a toddler, we stopped in at least once to see the characters on our way into the park. We’ve done a few tripsContinue reading “Hollywood and Vine Breakfast: Allergies and Accessibility”

3/25/23: Our Day at Disney’s Hollywood Studios

After two days each at Magic Kingdom and EPCOT, our next park was Disney’s Hollywood Studios. This was set to be a big day for us – our family is full of Star Wars fans, several new attractions had opened since our last trip to this park, and a brand new table-service restaurant that IContinue reading “3/25/23: Our Day at Disney’s Hollywood Studios”

Crystal Palace Dinner: Allergies and Accessibility

If you saw my last few posts about Our Second Magic Kingdom Day (including the side trip to First Aid with the oldest kid, and the trip back to the hotel that night) you know that was a pretty crazy day for us, with plenty of good mixed with some not-so-fun. Once we made itContinue reading “Crystal Palace Dinner: Allergies and Accessibility”
