    I’m an amputee and use a wheelchair at the parks. We’ve actually made a video about Tokyo Disney with some tips and you are right to assume the language barrier is HARD! We’ve traveled in Japan quite a bit and nothing speaking Japanese makes the process very, very long. Plus you feel like you have to prove what you can and cannot do all day, which as someone with a permanent disability is exhausting. We love Tokyo Disney and will continue to go, but people should know what to expect.

Thanks to your advice I went to Tokyo Disneyland and Disney Sea on a vacation package and my boyfriend and I had a blast. He isn't a Disney fan so the fact that we didn't have to wait in lines for very long made it much more enjoyable for him and probably saved us from quarreling a little bit. Keep up the awesome videos.

    Thank you so much for these videos! The Hong Kong one made me quite emotional. My favorite theme park in my country recently opened a new ride, and during the building process they kept saying that it would be wheelchair accessible. Since they demolished one of my favorite shows to build this one, I was really looking forward to it. But it turns out that the ride ISN'T wheelchair accessible at all. If you use a wheelchair you can't go into the main building; you're taken to a different building that's only accessible if you can get out of your chair, and then you're shown a mini movie version of the ride on a screen. I was so sad when I found out about it! And then seeing the incredible carts in Hong Kong that actually allows you to enter them in your wheelchair... It does make me wonder why other parks don't include at least one cart like that per ride, if the attraction allows it of course.
    But yeah. Great videos! And hopefully your knee heals up soon ❤

    I listened to the podcast before watching this video, so I'm glad to see some similarities as well as some differences regarding the park's wheelchairs -- I especially like that Tokyo Disney's wheelchair has a lock for the person pushing the wheelchair, a neat little feature to have for a wheelchair.
    I hope your knee feels better soon so you can continue exploring!

    When we went to TDR with my (now late) mother a few years ago, we rented the battery-assisted push wheelchair, and it was AMAZING. It really helped us when we were going uphill. For 1000 yen it is a bargain and one I would recommend over the manual wheelchair.

    I agree with lighting lane idea. I visited the Tuesday before the long weekend and it was insanely crowded and uncomfortable. I am someone with invisible disabilities and it was too much for me. I do not have legal paperwork for the disabilities but I’m glad you highlighted the non DAS service. They overall need to have a better and stressful system for the disabled community.

    Really interesting to see how different the process can be. When I came for the first time in July and rode Pooh’s hunny hunt I needed additional time to load in to the ride vehicle so was taken straight through the gift shop to the exit and loaded there. Everyone was really helpful but using translator apps to try and communicate your needs was tricky at times.

I don't want the reduced price ticket, just don't want to run into any obstacles and my doctor charges good money for a note and doesn't see the need to sign notes for "fun" things
    Is the motorized wheelchair an ECV? or literally a powerchair? I don't want to fly with mine but would need one.

    I hired a motorized scooter from Tokyo disney (in 2020) when we went it was so easy, the people were so nice. I had to do a little drivers test which was funny. Just had to show I could turn, stop and go without hitting anyone. The scooter is slower than walking speed though which lead to many giggles with my friend. Everyone was so nice and the road was (mostly) smooth, I only did one ride the haunted mansion but it was a really easy process we were prepared to wait in line but they bumped us up and had the scooter waiting for me at the end of the ride. I wish we had gone earlier in the trip because by then I was so tired and couldn't do more rides but when I was waiting for my friend all the cast members (both in costume and out) that walked by made sure that I was ok and feeling included in the magic. There is a fair bit of the park i couldn't get to which I mainly remember it being the swiss family robinson part and I don't think I could get on the river boat. (I was so tired so I can't remember the other bits) My friend is vegetarian and at the time that was actually more difficult to deal with, we ate a lot of alien mochi ice cream. Everyone spoke enough english or had cards to be able to communicate clearly.
