Carolin's New Hobby

The lovely summer of 2004 came to an abrupt end when Carolin was diagnosed with cancer. What follows are the random thoughts and experiences of the Camerons as Carolin fights back.

Disney 1

Westjet got us to Orlando quite nicely and the luggage found its way to the hotel room by magic. Carolin is riding a wheelchair full time from the Calgary airport.

Disney World is very spread out. We ride buses to wherever we want to get to and so are now familiar with the challenges of wheelchairs and public transportation. A surprising number of disney rides accommodate people in chairs so we haven't been limited too much there. Carolin will transfer into seats in some rides. Jess wants to push most of the time.

Carolin's vision is poor and she has to work very hard to read menus. Things at a more than 20 ft are not visible for her. This combination with the commotion that only Walt Disney can put together, wear her out fast. It was a challenge to stay up late enough to catch one of the firework displays.

High points for the Magic Kingdom park and the bus drivers.
Low points for Epcot's rides with the exception of Soaring over California which was fantastic.
Two days with rain. Saturday off to the cruise.
