There was a lot to see, do, and learned. I took it all in and with the knowledge I gained; I wa ..read more

If I have said it once I’ve said it a hundred times Disney is my home away from home. I love Disney. I love the magic, the joy, and the ability to enjoy all it has to offer because it’s an all-inclusive park. Disney is the leader in my opinion of how to handle guests with limited mobility. They just get it. Whenever I talk with clients or anyone who mentions they have limited mobility and feel they can’t do Disney I smile and I’m off talking about all the things they can do. My go-to is Disney’s after-hour events, along with holiday cruises and other wonderful things that Disney offers. I have ..read more
