Re: Parking Lot Woes

One of my pet peeves is when a CM wants us to park in a spot that is not van accessible in Alternate Medical Parking. I have a ramp that has to deploy to get my wheelchair out. If we park where you want we will need to stop traffic while we deploy the ramp and get the wheelchair out before we can pa...

Re: I'm sorry, sir, but your kid is too short to ride...

What I think would be hard is having to tell a teen or adult guest they are too short to ride. While I'm tall enough to ride at 56 inches my aunt was less than 48 inches and couldn't ride some rides because of her height. Right now we have a 14yo freshman girl who is extremely short because of dwarf...

Re: Disney Lawsuits

I have been on Small World and Figment when they have broken down. I found that the CM were very efficient and remained with me during the entire time. For Small World we had to wait for maintainence to come and dislodge the boat in front of one I was in. It took over an hour and there was no way to...

How do you tell how much insulin to take for what sugar level you are at? my doctor has me on 15u in the morning and 10u at night, but you know this changes depending on what I eat. I think I need to find some classes on this. it's not just a condition, it's a life style. My doctor told me to add 2...

Re: EMH SG Questions

Only once have I spilled something and gotten a replacement. I got soy ice cream in a cone and as I left the ice cream place on Main Street it fell off the cone. A CM saw what happened and insisted on replacing it but suggested that it be put in a cup because soy ice cream frequently falls off the c...

Re: Bathroom Tricks

I usually wait until I get my food or after I eat to take my insulin. My theory is that you never know how long you might have to wait, or what might happen (either at WDW or elsewhere). But everyone treats things differently. I usually eat normally everywhere, including at WDW. With plenty of walk...

Re: Bathroom Tricks

There's always that risk. I usually try to put it on something, like a (clean) counter. If one is strategic, then one can avoid bleeding. Hope people aren't too squeamish who are reading this! I have been diabetic for many years and I will normally take my shot right at the table. It can be done di...

Re: A Good Old Soapbox Rant

Sorry that you have to deal with pin sharks. They ruin trading for everyone. Pin sharks are the reason I stopped attending pin events. I had some really nice pins that they wanted to trade for and only wanted to trade crap pins in exchange. Now I confine my trading to CMs and will give a special pin...

For those who know Bonny, MJ and Andrew Eby

Sad news. Bonny passed away last night. She had been in the hospital since collapsing at home Friday. Please pray for MJ and Andrew. Especially for Andrew as he sets up the things he needs to care for MJ like enrolling her in school. Bonny had been homeschooling her.

Re: Funny Nametags

The only name tags I had was: Casey Nick but I returned them to the T.E.A.M Center because I got in trouble with the manager for not wearing the right name tag: Dan. Now, I found a lost name tag: Roberto. I don't think I can ever convince people that I am a "Roberto", why??? Because I am ...
