Hello everyone!
My cousin's daughter has special needs and will be traveling with our family for her first time to WDW in February 2013. She was diagnosed with a disease called Moyamoya when she was a child - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moyamoya_disease
The result is that she has muscle compromise from the strokes and uses a special wheelchair. She can walk but is very slow and will have her chair. In addition, she can't get too hot or too cold as that can trigger a seizure. Also if she gets too tired or stressed, it can trigger a seizure. She is very smart and is totally excited about her first visit.
We are staying at POR and plan to use our vehicles for transportation rather than buses.
I have been to WDW many times but have never traveled with a special needs person. Can you guys post some helpful hints for us? Are there special tickets for guests with handicaps? Do you have specific recommendations?
Any and all information would be very helpful!
Thanking you in advance for your expertise.
