I am glad to hear that you found Disney mostly accessible. I hadn't thought about the incontinence problem you would have with an adult with MS, nor the challenge of finding an inexpensive place to stay, or even the need for a companion to help take care of a her while your family embarked on a ride without her. So, in reality, there are still great strides to take to make public theme parks more accessible to folks in wheelchairs and their families. I'm with Patti, though. We skipped the Small World ride because of the repetitive tune that I would not have been able to get out of my head afterward. I did see a blurb in the map brochure that the Small World ride had been recently painted, but no thank you. Although, the words you quoted here are very hopeful and profound in their simplicity, we decided to pass it by in favor of one of the faster moving rides. Have a fun July 4th, or a quiet one. Mine is going to be relatively quiet this year, but I'm good with that.

I'm sure those memo...very insightful post, Patrick. I'm sure those memories are treasured of trips in the past. Now I got that song "Its a Small World" stuck in my mind :)<br><br>The first time we took our kids to Disneyland, Matt, now 17, had just turned 4. The first ride we took him on was Pirates of the Caribbean, then Haunted Mansion; both of which he really didn't like. Then we took him over to Its a Small World. Halfway through the ride he turned to me and said "now Disneyland is fun". <br><br>bettyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
