I know that preganancy isn't really a disability, and doesn't compare to some of the challenges that other people face, but it could be considered a temporary disability where touring a place like WDW is concerned...

I've done it twice, and you definitely need to make adjustments! I just thought that this would be a good section of the board to discuss it...

Hello, I am brand new to the board and wanted to add my disability to this thread.

Spina Bifida (neurological/spinal defect)
Augmented Bladder-I know this is not the correct name, but I can't spell that

My partner is Hard of Hearing and when we go this week we will be utilizing many of the assisted listening devices etc. that they have for us. Great Idea!!!!

Sue, I would LOVE to talk to you!!! I have primary pulmonary hypertension and this will be my first trip with my Flolan pump. I don't know if you are on this medication, but I would love any advice you may have!! And the other weird thing is I also have a degenerating herniated disk in my L5. I look forward to hearing from you!

Let's seperate "arthritis" into 2 catagories, "osteo" and "rheuamatoid" which are very different. I live with rheumatoid. And add RSD to the list. That is Regional Sympathetic Dystrophy, a very painful nerve disorder, which can produce limb atrophy and limited usage. Thanks for the massive effort!
