When I visit Disney World, which I do often, I forget that about my illnesses. I feel that I am in a place where I can forget all of my problems the minute I pass through the “gates” and see the words, “Welcome to Disney World”.

My favorite park is the Magic Kingdom because there of the different lands, including, Fantasy Land, Adventure Land, Tomorrow Land and my favorite Toon Town. I know that Toon Town is really for preschoolers, but that’s where I get to visit with my all time favorite Disney character, the one that I consider my boyfriend, Mickey Mouse!

There are so many attractions in Disney World, but I think the one I like best is Mickey PhilharMagic. This is a 3D Movie that features Donald Duck, who tries to take over Mickey’s orchestra by wearing his wizard hat. Donald then goes on adventures that feature scenes from Disney Movies. The effects from this movie and the music always have me laughing. The music has me singing along (much to the regret of my family).

One of the best things about Disney World is that it is accessible to people with disabilities. I use my scooter due to having to walk long distances. I never have trouble getting around, including using the buses, monorails and getting into the attractions.

When I went into a remission (actually it turned out to be a big improvement and not a true remission) I wanted to celebrate. I went to Community Hall and asked what could be done. They gave me and my family passes to the VIP section of the parade that day. We totally enjoyed ourselves! We were up close to the parade and the characters stopped by so we could take photos. Disney parades are a joy to see, but to be up close and personal makes it even better, if that’s possible.

So if you are disabled or have health problems, don’t think that you can’t enjoy yourself at Disney World. You will need a place to order your Disney Tickets of course and I suggest you do that in advance to avoid waiting in line. And don’t forget to have a blast!
