    Thank you for all the kind words, Explorers. They mean a lot to me! I hope this video is useful in showing how to navigate Hong Kong Disneyland.

      thank you so much for this, would you mind doing a wheelchair in the park for tokyo Disney/seas? We are going next year and plan to rent a wheelchair because I'm unable to walk for long hours, and I'm worried about the size.... (I'm Poohbear sized with wide hips lol 😂)

      Hey there, when did you visit Hong Kong Disneyland? You weren’t able to watch the Let’s Get Wicked show?

    I am so, so sorry that this happened to you, and I am also so grateful to you for showing us this experience. My spouse is a wheelchair user and we talk all the time about wanting to do a China/Japan theme park trip, but there is so little information about accessibility. We were so excited to see this video that my partner cried! Wishing you happy healing and thank you so, so, so much!

    I'm sorry about the accident, that's terrifying regardless of severity. I really appreciate the continued positive energy and information in these videos (they've really helped me through the worst times of my life), I hope you have a quick recovery and stay safe.

    My brother has been in a wheelchair his whole life, so we’ve always had to consider accessibility. When he was little, my parents could lift him in and out of ride vehicles but now that he’s a fully grown adult, and he can’t bear any weight, he’s not able to transfer from his wheelchair so I love seeing that Mystic Manor has a wheelchair accessible vehicle in a separate loading area. It seems like such a small thing, but it is amazing to be able to take the time you need and not have to transfer out of your chair!

    It's not nice that you had an accident, but it give you a reason to make this video. I'm not in a wheelchair but I can't walk stairs or for longer time. It's's great to see that you can joy the rides with lesser mobility. Take care Chris.❣️

    what a great way to turn a not so great time into something positive/educational! I wish you a speedy recovery and thank you for this video! I have some health issues and can't walk for very long so this was super helpful to me!

  • @thebeaconproductions
    @thebeaconproductions 2 месяца назад +23

    Hoping for your speedy recovery! This is a really great insight since not a lot of people online show the accessibility of theme parks and this would be really useful for someone in a wheelchair or something similar. Let’s us see a different experience of the parks and how it’s important that we make it accessible so that they can enjoy it too. Keep it up! ❤
    Also side note: I’m so happy they’re finally selling Albert the Monkey merch! For years, there’s hardly anything sold for him and I was so sad so thank goodness he’s finally getting more love!

    @felixledger-beadell7378 2 месяца назад +1

    The two videos on wheelchair accessibility in Tokyo and Hong Kong are incredibly helpful. As a wheelchair user and park lover, it's difficult to find videos that showcase things from my lowered point of view and discuss different floor surfaces! I previously did some research into the disability access services available at both parks, but I wanted to learn more about general access, including restaurants and entertainment options. So, thank you for sharing these videos! Wishing you a speedy recovery. 😊

  • @sanashi27
    @sanashi27 2 месяца назад +1

    I hope you get better soon! It's awesome that you were able to use this as an opportunity to show us how wheelchair accessible Disneyland is though. I don't think it ever crossed my mind to ask but it was definitely an interesting answer to watch. I didn't know wheelechair rides are a thing but it's awesome they have it. And the shows have subtitles? haha that's awesome. It probably feels weird to be seeing things at a different angle when you're sitting down as you travel around since you've been there so much though.

    Hey Chris! I’m so sorry to hear about your accident and I hope recovery is going well! As a disabled subscriber who relies on mobility aids, this video is great to see. I wanted to note that the phrase “wheelchair-bound” is, unfortunately, ableist. “Wheelchair users” is a great substitute!

    Let me just say, I was in Tokyo sea this summer and I have an invisible illness and it was basically impossible to get DAS before hand of my trip or at the parks and I paid for rides bcs I couldn’t wait. I’d like to see the Japanese acsesibility better like this but I do understand Japanese customs and building are and manners are very traditional and different and no English. Thanks for this video I wanna go to HKD

    Obviously sucks about the car accident but as a wheelchair user while my experience might be different due to the kind of wheelchair I have, it is really nice to see the accessibility of fun places shown more! I want to travel but the world just isn't built to be accessible most of the time so knowing what to expect and seeing good things too helps me plan what I might want to do and where I might want to visit!

    ❤❤❤wow finally. I have been watching you since the pandemic era. Finally you have made a video about wheelchair accessibility in disneyland. I have been in hk disney last 2018 and being a paraphlegic, hk disney has been superb in wheelchair ride access. Last 2016 we went to disneysea and the only ride i was able to go to was the defunct stormrider and all the other rides i was not permitted to ride although i can transfer by myself but not walk, dont know if language barrier was also a problem. Can you somehow do a wheelchair ride accessibility in tokyo disney and disneysea just wanna know if it has been better since 2016. Thank you and love lots

    I actually spent time in a first aid wheelchair at DCA. It was fascinating. Fyi. I tripped over and aggravated my dodgy ankle. We went to first aid. The nurse said I needed to stay off it to help the swelling ease and due to being an international guest she knew our time was limited so they gave me a free wheelchair for the day that gave me access to the exit. Seeing how it all worked was really interesting. Also I could hear kid’s conversations which was adorable
    Fun fact!! Midway mania has the same ride vehicle as mystic manor. It’s so interesting to see how they accomodate wheelchairs ❤
    Sorry for all the edits. I keep remembering things 😂 I had wheelchair access for world of color. Fantastic view 😊 the only drawback is the fact you’re in pain so you get worn down very quickly. So if you’re injured and visit a park just be aware that you don’t have the same staying power so make sure you have paracetamol to take the edge off. The cast members at Disneyland and DCA were very gentle and kind and I’m glad you had the same experience as me
