There are also a lot of people with disabilities at Disney, because Disney does a great job of accessibility for people with physical disabilities. Many vacation destinations aren't consistently accessible, so people who need access choose Disney.

True. But what sucks for the people with actual disabilities is that Disney also brings out lots of people with “disabilities.” Disney makes it very advantageous to be disabled at their park and cannot ask for any proof.

Or maybe a lot of people with disabilities go BECAUSE it's so easy. Why do you care so much what other people are doing?

We only had one real "miss." We got seated with a mom and her cute daughter and an older guy. We originally thought he was with the mom and kid. The guy was a complete perv and I really did not want to sit with him (and have my kids sit with him) again..... but we all really liked the other family. We decided it was not worth it to "stick it out" because of them and we requested a move (and told the maitre d why). Next night at dinner-- the family we liked was seated at a table next to us (away from the original table). After a glass or two of wine we were all like "we loved you.... couldn't deal with the perv" and asked the maitre d to seat us together for the rest of the cruise. We got to meet new people and they became friends!

I have made other friends on cruises, so have other family members and I even know a couple that met on a cruise (when they were each cruising with their families). Personally--- it's the only vacations I really recall making new friends on!

What made him a perv?? He was just some single dude on a cruise or was there more?

Tons of food for all of middle America.

You know the people who get the riding carts at the grocery store, the ones with no obvious handicap other than gluttony? You will see lots of them on a cruise.

On a Disney cruise? Doubtful.

That's been my experience on Disney and non-Disney cruises. They tend to skew larger.

My cousin is a big dude - 6'5" and 450lbs. He loves Disney cruises with his kids because they get the Disney experience without having to a) walk the park and b) having any issues of not fitting on rides and then his kids being disappointed.

The 4 kids (all similar ages) had the middle of the table while the 2 sets of parents anchored each end of the table. Yes, the seats are assigned. That way, the adults don't really have to interact if they don't want to. For us, though, it was great. We really enjoyed the other family and the kids became very fast friends. I didn't think out kids would spend much time in the kid's club, but they wanted to after meeting their new friends at dinner. They had play dates in the kid's club.

Overall the dinners were something that I had low expectations about, but the food was decent, the service was great, and the atmosphere at the restaurants exceeded expectations.

I really enjoy Enchanted Garden on the dream and fantasy. It's so beautiful in there!

People are operating rent an elderly "relative" businesses around Orlando for a reason.

Nevertheless the replacement DAS card system still allows entire families to cut the line, making the wait longer for everyone else. I’ve been at Guest Services when other people were getting these cards. They literally ask you for nothing other than your saying that you need it. It allows people to cheat the system, making everything longer for the rule followers. So yes, it does affect me.

Ugh, because these fakers inconvenience others and take advantage of them.

This is absolutely not true. We did it a few yeas ago and they grilled us. I brought my child's evaluation so it wouldn't be an issue and they said they could not accept it. They insisted on meeting my child before they gave it to us. We ended up not using it much as some had no or not big lines given when we went. Its not that easy.

And, I hope you never get a SN child. You have no idea what it is like having to quit your job as getting child care is very difficult and spending your days running to 1-2 therapy appointments each and on a bad day add a doctors apt, some of which were weekly of us for the first two years. Not to mention the cost involved with all that. So, if the only perk I get is that from Disney I'm taking it.
