"...This book is truly a marvel and an absolute must for anyone planning or thinking about planning a trip to WDW with any type of disability.  I would also recommend this book to those guests with small kids who would like to warn their children of potentially disconcerting or frightening aspects of rides. I would recommend this book to anyone going for the first time and who would like specific details on rides and dining options. In fact, I would recommend this book to anyone. period."  Click here for more of the book review 

 

Bob Sehlinger, author of The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World wrote:

 

"I think it's a fine guide that reflects a lot of experience learned the hard way. I was astonished at Sarah's attitude given her many challenges and am greatly impressed by her pluck. The guide certainly make the point that if she can have a great time at WDW then most anyone can... the content is solid."

Walt Disney World with Disabilities has been REVISED for 2008-2009. When you order the book from us or from Amazon and most other retail websites you will receive the revised edition.

 

What's unique about this book:  While most other books briefly touch on things, or even go all out to keep Disney secrets and surprises from you, we reveal as much as we possibly can.  This will help you plan.  Don't worry though. if there's a big spoiler, we do reveal that in advance so you have the choice to skip a section.   We also give you tips designed to help you participate more comfortably in some attractions you may not have thought you could have handled.  Our aim is to help you plan a safe, fun and comfortable trip.

Nathan Rose, Owner of www.MagicalMountain.net said this about the book:

 

"Walt Disney World With Disabilities is a must read.  While the title may lead you to believe that this is a guide for those with severe disabilities, it really is a guide for anyone.  Not only will you get useful information for those who are wheelchair bound, but also you get great tips for those with more "minor" disabilities such as motion sickness or allergies. 

This book contains various tips for hotels, parks, shops and restaurants.  It also includes helpful websites as well as phone numbers for contacting the resort for any questions you may have about meeting specific needs while on vacation.

 

Stephen Ashley uses his own experiences, as well as his wife's, with physical disabilities to enlighten those who may have doubts about whether or not Walt Disney World is the right place for your vacation.  He has taken the time to compile this guide in order to help those who have questions, like he and his wife had, about what rides would be safe for them and what rides would be too much to handle.  While many may feel that Disney World is a big vacation resort that may be difficult to navigate, this book clearly shows that while being an extra large resort, they are the masters of making people comfortable and meeting their special needs."

Reader Comment:

"I discovered this great book last Spring, and I love it so much I'm ordering the revised edition! Mr. Ashley does a wonderful job in explaining what to expect. On our last visit to Disney World, my sister, who has Down's Syndrome and isn't able to walk long distances, came along. This was our first experience dealing with a wheelchair at Disney. While it is very true that Disney World is probably the best place to vacation if you or a family member has disabilities, the amount of knowledge needed to easily navigate all the parks, shops, restaurants, and attractions is immense. Other guide books were helpful, but oh how I wish I had had this one then! It literally takes you through each attraction and park and tells you how to manage, not only with a wheelchair, but with other health issues also. We go back in January, and I'm looking forward to a much more relaxed and fun trip this time! Thank you Stephen and Sarah for sharing your experiences!"

Reader Book Review:

"Hi, I wanted to thank you for writing Walt Disney World with Disabilities.  In 2006 I was diagnosed with End Stage Renal disease.  I'm currently on home peritineal dialysis and thought I would be unable to travel to my favorite place on earth....Disney World. 

Reading your informative book gave me hope... I had studied your book each day and followed your advice.  Everything from how to request a fridge in the room for medication to the degree of roughness of the rides made it a super trip. 

We stayed for 10 days at the All Star Sports Resort, rode lots of rides, ate at some of the eating places you recommended and had a spectacular time...  My doctor had told me there was no way I could get around Disney World and still do my dialysis.  She was wrong... 

Please continue to provide this information to those out there that feel they could never go on such a big trip.  All it takes is some careful research, creative thinking, and you're in for the time of your life. 

Thanks again for your great book!"
