Taking Mickey

Hi, my family will be visiting Fort Wilderness for the first time in a cabin later this year. We have an accessible cabin reserved because of the need for a scooter. Does anyone have any tips or tricks for a first time cabin visit?  Do people decorate cabins in November for Christmas for example? Does the wifi work OK?  We hope to do some Facebook livestreams for my podcast from the cabins after the parks close, because they have shorter hours because of COVID. Thank you.

Most of the threads have been about kid disabilities, just thought I would share my thoughts on some of the stuff my DH deals with when camping.

The Fort is just about the most accessible place I've ever been as far as the lay of the land.  Sidewalks everywhere, everything very flat and plenty of asphalt in all the right places.

Our disability problems mainly have to do with mobility issues.  We solve most of those with the ECV and we do things like I pull DHs socks off before he heads to the shower and we have finally found some hard soled slippers that he can get on and off easily.

We had to look long and hard to find a camping chair that would support his weight and still fold up small.

The only issue the Fort doesn't address is a companion shower area.  I really wish they would add one.  I can imagine there are many spouses that don't like using their RV shower (or don't have one in our case), but need to assist each other, and can't do that at the Fort.

I realize this is an old post, but thank you for posting about adults with disAbilities. I am a young adult with different abilities. Thank you.

Thank you for posting this.  I am a differently-abled adult and did not know this.  Thank you again.
