I’m going to Disneyland soon with 8 other family members. One of my family members is in a wheelchair. I was wondering how the wheelchair pass worked and how the wheel chair lines worked. I was also wondering how many people, if any, were permitted to go into the wheelchair line with them. I know at some other amusement parks the entire party was allowed to use the wheelchair line but I haven’t been to Disneyland with a wheelchair before and wanted to figure it out before I went. Thank you!

How do wheelchair people get to work?
November 13th, 2010Let’s say a wheelchair person is able to drive,but does not have a car. How would one travel to work and back? Is it comfortable to use Septa to get to work? I have not seen much wheelchair people doing this. I’m a wheelchair user myself and I need this info, because I will have to think of transportation that will get me to work and back home.
Any suggestions, perhaps a personal experience or maybe a wheelchair person that you know that travels to work would be much appreciated!
I know Septa has ramps and lifts for wheelshairs, but is it comfortable inside the bus when it’s all crowded?
Best friend in wheelchair after childbirth. What could I bring her that would help?

What is the proper name for an automatic wheelchair?
October 22nd, 2010I’m doing a drawing for someone and in the picture he wants me to draw a fully paralyzed man in his wheelchair. The wheelchair is the type in which you only use your hands to move it electronically, as if your hand is controlling it using a joy stick. I don’t know if I’m explaining it well but I need a proper name for it because I’m trying to find some reference pictures but I can’t find any wheelchair pics that use only the hand to control the wheelchair rather than the whole arm such as turning the wheel manually.
Help please, he needs the sketch asap. Thank you!
