London
We opted to stay at the Hilton London Paddington at Paddington Station. It is central within London, right on many bus and train lines, and most importantly the Heathrow Airport Express goes directly there so on arrival to London you have an easy landing. It was the perfect location for many reasons. When you arriveContinue reading “London”
Sailing on the Disney Wish
For info on booking, check in, and everything that happens before you get on the ship see my planing post here. All in all it was a wonderful trip. I have never been on a cruise before and wasn’t sure I would like it or if my husband (who gets seasick) would get seasick. TheContinue reading “Sailing on the Disney Wish”
Planning a Disney Cruise from Orlando+Disneyworld
If you intend to take a Disney Cruise which leaves from Orlando it makes sense to also go to the parks if you can! There are Land and Sea Packages you should ask the Disney Cruise booking people about that can save you money. We are planning on arriving a day+ early, resting in theContinue reading “Planning a Disney Cruise from Orlando+Disneyworld”
Paris in a large power Wheelchair
I did NOT find the French rude. First thing- if you aren’t rude first, they won’t be rude. Whenever you enter a shop, restaurant, before you ask someone anything or address someone ALWAYS say “Bonjour” or if it is evening “Bonsoir” (pronounced bon-swa). ALWAYS. They are more into formal niceties (make sure to add yourContinue reading “Paris in a large power Wheelchair”
Disneyland Paris
Accessibility Passes The passes (assuming you can get one) are better than in the US parks. They also aren’t being abused, because you need the proof. The only downside is if you have a condition not covered or recognized or if you don’t have proof of your condition. At every restaurant (in hotels, etc.), inContinue reading “Disneyland Paris”
Disneyland California
(writing 2/26/2021, updated 6/23/25) My very first plane ride with the wheelchair was from San Francisco to Disneyland. It started and ended with disaster, but we made it! I had been warned about how to prepare the chair for flight and it survived the trip there. More on flights and transit later in post. WhenContinue reading “Disneyland California”
PBS News Hour Interview
Recently I along with others was interviewed for a segment on airline wheelchair travel for the PBS news hour. The interview was about an hour, but they can only fit in snippets of what you say. I’m still sorry they didn’t include what I told them was the most important thing- which is that thereContinue reading “PBS News Hour Interview”
O’ahu (at Disney’s Aulani)
This is the second time I have been there since getting sick four and a half years ago. First time here. It was amazing both times, though on a personal note much more so this time because my health has noticeably improved since I went four years ago. They have done so much to honorContinue reading “O’ahu (at Disney’s Aulani)”
Day 10 Needles to Tehachpi and Joshua Tree
Once again, load up your gas in Needles, don’t get gas at the “Gas Oasis” in the middle of the Mojave if you can avoid it because it is twice the price of California gas (which is expensive already). The drive from Needles to the park was odd. Lots of middle of nowhere with noContinue reading “Day 10 Needles to Tehachpi and Joshua Tree”
