[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone who works with people with disabilities, I can tell you that what a Disney does for accessibility is unparalleled. Many families who could not manage a trip to the beach or almost any other popular vacation destination because of disabilities, can handle Disney. As a result, many families where one member has a physical disability choose a Disney for repeated trips. The result is more scooters.[/quote] I can tell you that not all of these people were physically disabled. I am 100% certain of that. [/quote] You've seen the X-rays of their knees? And the results of their latest EKG's? How can you possibly know this? -- someone with arthritis of the knees who can manage well enough walking and going upstairs to look just fine, but has severe pain with extended standing still and going downstairs that I would use a scooter at Disney. [/quote] OK, we got it. PP is saying that not all are physically disabled and I have to agree. [/quote] Um whether you want to call that a disability, someone decided they know their own body better than you do, and they will fork out the money and embarassment and annoyance of driving and parking, so they will be able to do multiple parks with their children or grandchildren. My mom has a handicap tag. She has no disability. However, her legs may spontaneously break at any moment. Yeah, not disabled, but do you really think we want her walking miles and miles at Disney, when she can break a leg while standing in her own kitchen? No. [/quote]
