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”
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.

Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind – Tips for Plus-Size Riders and Accessibility Information
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind was my first “new” ride this trip, and after Flight of Passage opening week, I had concerns to say the least.

‘Ohana Breakfast: Allergies and Accessibility
We started off our second Disney day with an early breakfast reservation at ‘Ohana – one of our family’s favorite meals on property and a long-standing tradition for us. We ran a little late to our reservation. After taking the bus to Magic Kingdom, one of the younger kids had a bathroom emergency and soContinue reading “‘Ohana Breakfast: Allergies and Accessibility”
TRON: Lightcycle/Run – Tips for Plus-Size Riders and Accessibility
I’ll be the first to admit that when TRON: Lightcycle/Run was announced for Walt Disney World, I had some major concerns about how accessible this ride would be for plus-size guests. The new coaster was announced at the 2017 D23 Expo, just a few short months after Pandora: The World of Avatar opened at Disney’sContinue reading “TRON: Lightcycle/Run – Tips for Plus-Size Riders and Accessibility”

For those of you who are new here, hi! I’m Amber, and I want to help ease the minds of anyone going to Disney who’s ever been walked off a ride at a theme park because they didn’t fit. I can ride 99% of anything at Walt Disney World. I’ve been going for over aContinue reading “All the Rides and Attractions I was Able to Access this Trip as a Fat Person who uses a Mobility Device”

Top 10 Disney World Experiences that Allow Guests to Remain in their Wheelchair
The best parts of a Disney vacation are the rides and entertainment (and the food, let’s be real). For some disabled Disney World guests, transferring out of their wheelchair into a ride vehicle isn’t an option, but there are still several things they can experience while still safely seated in their own chair. We’re goingContinue reading “Top 10 Disney World Experiences that Allow Guests to Remain in their Wheelchair”
