    Universal now requiring documentation be sent to a third party for accessibility

    It wasn't a money saving venture for Universal. It is trying to figure out a way to weed out those who are abusing the accommodation system. At some point they decided the "proof" portion was outside their abilities so they partnered with a third party who has been doing it for other theme...

    Choosing a laptop for DS college

    Thanks. I just grabbed it to send it as a starting point. I did forget that safety mode issue. I had bought mine back when S mode could be freely upgraded to regular. Now it seems to be an upcharge.

    Choosing a laptop for DS college

    Stay far away from Chromebooks. Too many times I have seen a student get a chromebook and need a specific program but the chromebook can't use it. This is similar to your price range (the 1TB is what I have linked but the 256 gig is cheaper if he wants to use an external storage device). He...

    Sinus infection needs to be scraped

    If by sinuses scrapped you mean surgery then it really depends. I had a whole set of sinus surgeries done back in 2018. My sinuses look great, unfortunately my deviated septum repair is failing after 5 years so may need to be done again (New ENT said it happens especially if you have a nose...

    So it appears the crowds are very high right now even though some sites predicted low crowds. Is there a reason why the uptick?

    I think a lot of people were told "Don't go in the summer do late August or early September. School is back in session so less people and the weather is starting to turn nicer." A lot of crowd calendars also are incredibly off because this is the first summer etc where pretty much everything is...

    Changes with SW

    This is one reason they really need to adjust. I've never seen them actually enforce the family boarding is for under 6 and only 2 other traveling companions can go, so like you said if half of the flight family boards then it makes the other boarding groups useless. I have recently only...

    Changes with SW

    May have been a misunderstanding. Of course they could have said something like would you like an early boarding group so not necessarily A but heavily implying it was A. I know it hadn't been that way in years and they have made it more and more clear that it was not a guarantee.

    Changes with SW

    It use to be that EBCI "guaranteed" a group A boarding group. Now that it doesn't and they will let everyone one the plane buy it if so wished when offered, I agree it creates issues when there is family boarding. I have to imagine if the family boarding acts being worked out pass then South...

    Carnival Cruise with medical needs (Diabetes and CPAP)

    That's good to know. He said the fridge in the room was more than fine last time we went. I just read that the insulin vials are more stable then he was initially told so looks like he'll just take his chance and put it in the beverage cooler. For me I just need to decide if carrying a bunch...

    Carnival Cruise with medical needs (Diabetes and CPAP)

    With Carnival we have to buy or carry on the distilled water and our own extension cord (feels so out of the norm for me since DCL definitely said none of our own). For the insulin vials they won't guarantee a medi-fridge so it depends on our arrival. Looks like I may just put a collapsible...

    Carnival Cruise with medical needs (Diabetes and CPAP)

    Was unsure where this belong because it wasn't Disney or RC. Fiancé (will be husband by trip time) and I are doing a Carnival cruise for our honeymoon. We both will be dealing with different medical needs then we have prior. He now has an insulin pump which means insulin bottles that need to be...

    Why do people regularly use rack rate for break even?

    So a discount isn't guaranteed so rack rate is the easiest. Of course then they give a % of price increase even though that isn't accurate either. I actually walked away from DVC because I crunched the numbers and it takes longer than I would like to break even if you don't stay rack rate deluxe...

    Wanna get away now refundable?

    Wanna Get Away should show as reusable but not refundable. Basically South West will let you cancel and then you get SW credit for the amount of the flight.

    Universal now requiring documentation be sent to a third party for accessibility

    Diabetes type 1 is an auto-immune disease so close quarters crowds are not suggested for long periods of time to help mitigate risk of getting sick. Also heat related issues that cause wild blood sugar spikes and lows. Then the fact if you are pen based you need space to be able to give yourself...

    Universal now requiring documentation be sent to a third party for accessibility

    The plate itself doesn't say why you need it or what accomodations you would need in a theme park environment. A plate could fall into a mobile issue which wouldn't get an AA but also could be for a non mobility issue.

    Universal now requiring documentation be sent to a third party for accessibility

    I feel like HHN was really why we were denied last year. Crazy thing is we bought express for HHN. It was the lack of accomodations for heat during the day that made us miss 80% of HHN

    Universal now requiring documentation be sent to a third party for accessibility

    I don't think they are accepting those because handicap passes don't say what accommodation you need just an accommodation.

    Son turns three in middle of Disney cruise

    I think the price difference is because under 3 goes to the nursery and you pay for that where as 3+ can go to kids club and the cost of that is built into their cruise fare. That's just speculating though. I don't think they charge you a difference for moving them up mid cruise but you won't...

    Didn't anyone wonder???

    I'll admit I had defended Pete's spending years ago. It was always portrayed that Pete had worked hard before the Dis and then worked very hard during it with content (website, here, and youtube/podcast) as well as his portion of DU. When all 3 top brass are big spenders and they were one of the...

    WDW scooter questions

    Depends on the season and area. Some are ecv/wheelchair and up to 3 guests. However guests are asked to stand behind their wheelchair/ecv using party member. I've seen only 1 guest during peak holiday and summer seasons.
