Going Home, DLR Help

[mechurchlady]

Long ago I was very sick from celiac and food allergies as well as other stuff. It has taken me a long time to clean out my body and even today I am reacting to some baked goods. Only recently did I find out that I have SID/SPD and have many autistic/spectrum traits though I am not on the spectrum.

I lost my dear DLR when a group of pin traders hounded me and made my life hell at DLR. They pushed buttons and used their CM friends to their advantage. They hated those of us who did not cheat, steal and shark our way to good pins. They made racist remarks to me, made me feel inferior and spread rumours. Eventually I was removed from the park and my pass taken because of these people's lies and rumours that I sold pins. I traded a few for hot dogs but never got cash for any pini on the monorail, DTD, DLR or any Disney property.

Because of the SID and my neurovariations and other quirks I am having a hard time going back. Some people would have returned the next day or month but I am having a hard time going back out of fear that I will have security after me or worse run into them people again. I have quirks that trigger unwanted responses when things are not fair and when people need help. I have stood in ankle deep water in the rain starting a car and have given half what I had in the bank to people.

I first went to DL in october of 1960 and rode the Bobsled as a toddler. I cried with the CMs and was there for the moments of silence after 911. I had a family of friends who were there when I got not gifts on my birthday and sat in the rain freezing while that couple talked with me and cheered me up. DLR was my home and was my haven of rest and playground. I want to go home but am so scared that I will get in trouble again for something I do not do.

What I Need to go Home

1. Annual pass: I want my premium pass back but doubt I will ever be able to afford any pass. I will not take comp tickets as I will not risk someone getting in trouble. I am not asking for gifts either. I might save up $30 a month. This month I gave Calvin Around $500 and that is half or more of our disposable income. I could have used that for a new fridge or stove.

2. ECV: I have a wheelchair but do not want people killing themselves pushing my fat butt. I can get me an ECV probably through medical programs but the garage leaks and I have no way to transport the ECV other than city busses. I could take a bus to DLR but that is like 2 long and painful hours. Mobility is the biggest problem.

Yesterday I rolled out of bed and got wedged between the bookcase and bed. That was a slow decline to the floor but the hurting part is that I finally got the bed moved and back on it. I then got out of bed and tripped over a mountain of blankets and pillows. I took out my knees and wrist so I need an ECV or herd of strong men to push my chair as I cannot walk far without pain.

3. I must have someone with me in the park like a companion. Someone to keep me in line, be a witness, and keep me from getting into trouble. This is a must have as I could not go back without someone as I have them quirks that some people use to get me in trouble.

4. Food: I am in the bathroom lately because of the eggs and stuff in the baked goods. I have celiac and other food sensitivities. I would have to know what and where I can eat at.

tht is about it for now and I do not want hand outs. I am on disablities board at disboards and if you see me there then you know what I am going through. I am slowly trying to undo things and retrain myself and mom who is very much a neurovariant but not sure what. Probably autism, aspergers, or SID/SPD. Who knows as she is old and her ways go back many years. I want nothing but that people have patience and understand that I am not like them. I sit here crying and tired and needing sleep but the wiring in my brain is wrong and I will keep pushing until I pass out at the keyboard. I help people and fight against injustice and bad stuff because my wiring is messed up.

I just misss my friends and the park so much. It was a place I loved and miss dearly. I want to go home.

It's far away, but can't you get in free on your birthday then upgrade to an AP? If I lived as close as you do, I would definitely go on weekdays without the crowds....
This gives you lots of time to arrange for an ECV and a ride from someone who can hang out with you that day.

I can tell you what is edible at Plaza Inn Churchy. For Lunch-dinner, We have baked chicken legs, and you can get the cobb salad without eggs. You could also tell the person serving you you don't want the biscuit with the chicken or Steaks we have now . If you ask for a chef to come out you can tell them your allergies Celiac/Wheat/eggs, and they have a book with lists of ingredients on Breakfast items and lunch/dinner stuff too and they make gluten free things if someone asks for them - Think they do gluten free waffles or pancakes if one asks.

I also offer to sign you in occasionally on one of my days off... We'd have to meet somewhere close with your car/I ride the bus to somewhere and then we go in together? What say you to that?

[mechurchlady]

The restaurants with chefs usually bend over backward serveing guest needs. The problem is fast food places but I would eat at the Plaza Inn if you were there Purpura.

The problem is that I need an ECV to get from the tram. I used to be able to walk from the parking garage to Splash Mountain but now I am top heavy and have very bad knees. I could save up for an ECV rental in park but am thinking of the cost.

I also like the idea of the birthday but mine is in October, lol. Once I get used to the parks then maybe I could meet people there. The birthday thing had to come after mine, lol.

Hugs two sweet ladies.

Once I am comfortable in the parks then I could get Calvin a passport. I have the New Hampshire trip though and he is bleeding me dry and now the $200 electric bill. That would be a good option and we could go weekdays probably as I am sure he would love to go. He had shoulder surgery so I would hate to have him pushing me. He could do it but I hate making him do it. Take the foot rests off would help. We could take the omnibus or trolley if he folds the chair. Then walk to the tommorowland train and pick up rides along the way. Maybe then get off at Toon town to see that and small world.

OK so now to get the passes for the two of us and me get over my fears. IF I got him a cheap passport then I could get a lifetime of laundry and chores done, lol.

OMG they have GF pizza, do you know how much I miss pizza.

[mechurchlady]

I been thinking.

First would be get a list of gluten and soy free foods which is easy enough or just avoid counter service, lol.

First time I would need to meet in the lot with people who can control me and not join in with me in antics etc. Once I feel safe then I could get Calvin a pass and take him or give CBeilby lots of double doubles animal style with regular fries. I am joking about that part.

I could start with a 2fer and upgrade in theory if it works out. Not to expensive.

I could bring the wheelchair and then push or walk with it to the ticket booth then to ECV rental place.

What I want to do:
Ride the Bobsleds 10 times
Popcorn
Club 33, I can dream
Space Mountain,
Buzz Lightyear
Splash Mountain
Winnie the Pooh
Bobsleds
Small World
Maliboomer
Screamin
Muppets
All the places that will leave when they are done renovating
Too Fat but would love to try the orange stinger.
Toy Story Mania
Bobsleds
Popcorn
Did I mention Club 33?
Pirates
Haunted Mansion
Big Thunder
Soarin
popcorn
Bobsleds
Nemo
Innoventions
Space Mountain
DOLE WHIP

I am not asking for money, free admission or comps. Just support, advice, and friends who can get me to get over what some really mean people did to me.

[mechurchlady]

I have most of the plan figured out.

1. Get the gluten and soy free menu. :D:
2. buy a 2fer pass and then upgrade if everything goes well and if I can get volunteers to go with me and if if if. I mean with the monthly payments we are talking under $30 a month with upgrading.
3. Figure out how to get strong people like DisneyMom to go with me as I would need people who would keep me in line instead of joining me in the mischief.
4. I know the parks and parking lot. The problem is from the parking lot which is safe because of the car and stuff. Where to meet and stuff like that let along getting people to help me.
5. I have the wheelchair and I could use it from the tram to the ECV rental but am not sure about if I could walk to the ECV rental place. I could rent offsite but again getting the ECV to DLR would be the problem but would solve the need for the wheelchair and not require people to push.

Churchy-
For your first trip back, you should take Purpura up on her offer to sign you in ON A WEEKDAY, you would have never survived the weekend crowd today! Definitely Overstimulating, and even when not as crowded, SGs ignore ECVs!
Some companies deliver ECV to your door, then I'm wondering if there is a senior/disabled bus service that could cut down the ride time and accomodate ECV.....It is called ACCESS in our area, also LA county ;)

Thank you for the imput. I love Purpura like a neice and would love to do the parks with her. I need a storng person who can control me and Porpura is the type of person who would join me in the fun. I can get an ECV delivered but the problem is getting one to the parks as I am not supposed to be lifting heavy stuff and a case of coke was pretty heavy tonight. It is a great idea but that is the biggest snag other than my quirks.

I said no signing on as I will not risk someone's job especially someone I love dearly like Puorpura. You are so right about weekends and I used to do few rides on weekends as I know how the crowds can be. I just don't think about it but they would probably set my quirks off and if I am having any food issues that day then I could snap though not likely. You seem to understand me pretty good thankfully. I forget about those things.

I really need to get an ECV or rent on offsite but getting it to the park is the problem. Second would be volunteers. Those are the biggest obstacles and me melting down if someone from the past approaches me.

Hugs Disneymom and thank you for caring
