I agree with the other poster and there is a section in the disABILITIES FAQs thread about buses that you should read. There is a link in my signature to the FAQs thread or you will find it toward the top of this board. You can fold the wheelchair on the bus, but you should still use the back door to enter using the lift or ramp. Even folded, wheelchairs are heavy and bulky so getting in the front and carrying it on would be difficult to do...

Thanks. I can't eat blue cheese anyway because of my other allergies. Besides it smells horrible! Yesterday I ate a small spoonful of dressing/stuffing and I am paying horribly for it. UGH! My sister makes the best and I just couldn't do Thanksgiving without it. Never again will I do that. I am in such pain. It wasn't even a tablespoon of it! Guess I'm super sensitive to the stuff. It wasn't like it was pure wheat or...

Chell, I know that a number of different places have pre-packaged brownies, that avoid a lot of common intollerences, but I don't know if they'd cover everything you need. If you give a restaurant advanced notice, they may be able to produce something specifically for your needs - this should be particularly easy if they've already got a recipe for it. Main Street bakery also do cakes for a number of different food...

Yikes... I am glad we aren't flying Southwest this time (that is what we flew last time)!! Although, I am not sure AirTran will be any better. EEK! I appreciate any advice you want to share!!

I use a couple of ponchos for covering me and my scooter when in Disney. I use a child size emergency poncho to cover the tiller and my feet and legs and the adult size one for the rest of me and the seat and battery area. If I have to leave my scooter outside for some reason (restaurants mainly) I cover the whole scooter with the ponchos so that in case it rains its protected, and it makes it easy to spot when you come out. Just bring some of...

Sure! A couple of years ago I was at Animal Kingdom with friends. Expedition Everest was new, so we all wanted to see the regular (vs. FastPass) queue but only I planned to ride. When we got to the loading platform, they told the CM they weren't riding and were directed to the exit. No problem, and we all got to see the queue and talk while we waited. Some lines don't 'take' an ECV (Pirates, Tower of Terror, Spaceship...

Post #2 discusses mobility and stamina problerms and lists several locations where people have rented wheelchairs or ECVs and gotten good service and reasonable prices. Or, if you want an easier...
