Diabetic Mouseketeers at Walt Disney World, New DCL Service Dog Gangway Pass and more! 066
Summary: <a href="http://specialmouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Service-Animal-Gangway-Pass-e1428591930898.jpg"></a> Guest: Robyn Adams. We discuss DAS Rumors, Diabetic Mouseketeers at Walt Disney World, the new DCL Service Dog Gangway Pass and more. It's a Round Robin with Robyn! We're calling out a blog-disguised-as-a-news site that is posting rumors about changes coming to the DAS Card at Walt Disney World that are emotionally manipulative. We discuss the upcoming <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/965181903493892/">Special Mouse Listener Meet </a> Friday, May 22, at the Contempo Cafe inside Disney's Contemporary Resort. (4 PM to 6 PM) This coincides with Robyn's Diabetic Mouseketeers Weekend, an opportunity "for Diabetic families to go to Walt Disney World and make their own memories while getting a chance to meet other Diabetic families. Another item we talk about is something shared by listener, Mark Sumonka. Mark has cruised multiple times with the Disney Cruise Line (DCL) and today he posted a picture of something new for guests with service animals: a "Gangway Pass." (We believe this is an internal method of notifying Cast Members on the ship that guests have already notified Disney that they would be traveling with the service animal when booking the cruise.)

Beth has created social stories for people with Autism and related challenges to use at Walt Disney World. Social stories are short descriptions of a particular situation, event or activity, which include specific information about what to expect in that situation and why. Social Stories can help a person with autism to understand how others might behave or respond in a particular situation, and therefore how they might be expected to behave.
