    Which Queues Don't Accommodate Wheelchairs?

    Makes total sense. We in no way want to try to 'game' the system, just trying to best understand how things will work. Thanks for the input.

    Best Way to Try to Get a Nearby Room Due to Wheelchair

    Thanks. DW and DS actually picked up the placard today, so we are all set, but the 'medical parking' option is not something I am familiar with. I'll keep an eye out when we are there to see if it seems to still be an offering.

    Best Way to Try to Get a Nearby Room Due to Wheelchair

    Yep - thanks. He knows that FOP is out, and that Tron will be the modified car. Kali River is the other that is likely a non-starter just due to the difficulty of entry and concerns of getting the cast wet. Not sure about TTA, but I think everything else he will be able to do. I have posted...

    Which Queues Don't Accommodate Wheelchairs?

    Yes - the wheelchair entry is the exit ramp for IASW. We'll know more in a few weeks, but my guess is that this is one of those where they simply send you down because the wait isn't long enough to warrant a return pass. Especially in a case like this, where wheelchairs can back up because...

    Best Way to Try to Get a Nearby Room Due to Wheelchair

    Thanks, we often use buses to MK but drive to the rest (as it is more reliable). My guess is that we will do the same this time, unless we find that waiting for buses with the wheelchair becomes a hassle, in which case we will simply drive everywhere. The good news is that, as a family of 5...

    Best Way to Try to Get a Nearby Room Due to Wheelchair

    Thanks, this is actually quite helpful. I don't know if we will plan to use buses or car more (that depends on whether or not we will be successful in getting a temp handicap placard in time), but I think we are leaning towards trying to be closer to the lobby. I can always go get the car and...

    Best Way to Try to Get a Nearby Room Due to Wheelchair

    We are headed down for our trip next week and staying at Kidani. DS14 just broke his ankle and will be in a wheelchair. Any suggestions on the best way to request a room closer to the entry in order to help facilitate things? We can make anything work, but I thought a request would be...

    Which Queues Don't Accommodate Wheelchairs?

    So, we leave in a week for our WDW trip, and DS14 just came home from camp with a broken ankle. It's right at the growth plate, so he is in a hard cast and is completely non-weight-bearing. We are working on trying to get a temporary handicap placard so that we can utilize the handicap parking...

    PH vs. AP Renewal

    Thanks for this - should have been more clear. We are DVC staying on site. So, park reservations are not an issue for us.

    PH vs. AP Renewal

    Our AP's expire in December. We have one trip planned next year, and a 7-day hopper is about $100 less than the renewal of our Sorcerer Pass. As DVC members we get most of the same discounts, so I really can't think of any reason to spend the extra $100 outside of the fact that it maintains...

    Tell me the "weather" where you live.

    Beautifully sunny, but 45 degrees with winds over 50mph! Not a pleasant day to be outside here in SE Wisconsin.

    The DisFort's Chit Chat Cafe

    It's been a few weeks...golf, baseball, trains, yardwork, new computers, ill parents... A lot to catch up on! Been a bit crazy on our end. DD17 has been nursing a broken foot since January 1, and now DD15 has a stress fracture in her knee! Nonetheless, we were able to take a week-long...

    The DisFort's Chit Chat Cafe

    Where do you find KBB for RV's? I'm only ever able to find that for cars. NADA has an RV listing that gets pretty specific, but I'd love to have another source to compare, as list prices and NADA don't seem to line up at all in our case.

    Fuel Prices Where We Live

    Yep - the local shop that was 3.69 yesterday was 3.99 on our way in this morning. Also noticed that they had some old-fashioned plastic signs covering the normal digital price signs. Not sure why they would need it, unless for some reason the first digit wasn't capable of being a 4 (makes no...

    Tell me the "weather" where you live.

    We were supposed to get 4 or more inches as well. I awakened early to be prepared to clear the drive and transport our girls to school (oldest doesn't have the best car or experience for snow-covered roads). Turned out neither was necessary. We got less than an inch, and maybe a bit more...

    Fuel Prices Where We Live

    And back to the point of the thread, we have an unusually wide range for unleaded right now. A few stations are still as low as $3.69. The highest I've seen is $3.99. I expect someone, locally, to crack the $4 mark very soon.

    Fuel Prices Where We Live

    I think the debate over what is 'discretionary' is interesting, in that it is such a subjective term. When I take my kids to school instead of making them ride the bus, is that discretionary? What about when my wife takes my daughter shopping for a prom dress tomorrow night? If we drive our...

    Fuel Prices Where We Live

    We've jumped a dime from 3.29 to 3.39, but I expect we are going to spike higher pretty quickly.
