{Best Day Ever – Trip to Disney World January 2016}
They say I’m a planner. This may be an understatement when it came to planning the best day EVER! I was packing heavy with my Disney travel tip book complete with written side notes and highlighted “must do’s.” I had a general timeline, but not down to the minute…obviously needed to allow room for flexibility…but not much. The pre-planning mainly focused on attractions Sayla would be able to take part in. Disney has a very thorough list of attractions and modes of transportation access for those with mobility disabilities. (https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/guest-services/mobility-disabilities/) Some of the attractions have ride vehicles modified for a wheelchair. We were able to roll her wheelchair into the vehicle and strap her chair down, as we would typically buckle up in a seat. Some of these rides included Its A Small World, The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, and Under the Sea. It was so convenient! Other rides, we would have to transfer her out of her wheelchair. This includes unstrapping 500 straps (okay just 5), and disconnecting her feeding pump and tubing. Not a huge deal, but a little time consuming. Sayla would ride these attractions sitting in our lap. Some of these included Pirates of the Caribbean, Prince Charming Regal Carrousel, and Dumbo the Flying Elephant. With our game plan and matching shirts, Mommy, Diddy, Nini, Pappy, Miss Peggy, and Sayla were ready for the best day ever.
