Accessible Glamping Pod in Wales!
Переглядів 137Рік тому
Back in March I went to stay at the most stunning, fully accessible shepherds hut turned glamping pod. Just outside of Machynlleth, Wales. Hafan y Mynydd is the brainchild of Pippa and Dafydd and they've done such a fantastic job with everything, not only is the hut fully accessible to wheelchair users, it also has two wonderful sensory pods for those needing a quiet space. The pods are based o...
Disneyland Paris in a wheelchair! Hotel Cheyenne Accessible room tour
Переглядів 1,1 тис.Рік тому
For our final Disney day I give you a tour of an interconnected adapted room at Hotel Cheyenne. I really liked the theming of this room, as always there we some access features that could be changed slightly to give a better experience. My main take aways were that the bathroom sink was too deep, the exterior door was quite heavy and you had to go along the whole corridor to exit the building r...

On day two of our Disneyland Paris trip we spent the day in Walt Disney Studios, I think this has to be my favourite park! With the addition of the Avengers Campus this park has everything you could want and more. There are a good number of wheelchair accessible rides in this park too, many have hidden sliding boards but there are also a lot that you can stay in your chair for which is great fo...

Welcome to a new, and actually my first ever, vlog series! This is a three part series where I take you with me on my most recent trip to Disneyland Paris. This was my first time back to Disney in around twelve years, and my first time as a wheelchair user. In this video I'll be taking you through the travel from London St Pancras to Disneyland via the Eurostar, and then taking you round the pa...

Welcome to my vlogmas 2020!! Obviously there's not a huge amount to traditionally vlog about this year, thanks covid! So instead I'm going to be doing 12 days of different videos under the name of vlogmas, there'll be some christmas covers and a Q&A and some surprises too!I've had a few questions about how I drive and I know a lot of people are shocked as they don't even know that hand controls...

    Smashed it 💪 Logistics of triathlon are hard enough and then you throw in 2 chairs 🙈 Respect. Im a cathter user and always find it annoying that i have to ask for disabled toilets to be opened as there always locked.

      @@SwimBikeRunStu Thank you!! Haha yeah it’s a proper operation on race day 🤣 So frustrating isn’t it! Not sure why they can’t just put radar keys in everywhere, and the amount of times I have to explain that portaloos don’t really work for us… the event organisers were fab and got the lift unlocked and have taken on pointers for next time so fingers crossed!

    Question- do you recommend bringing a smartdrive with you if you can’t wheel yourself for a while? The disability pass… what kind of documentation you need from your doctor? Do most cast members speak English?

    How did you book the train disabled assistants or did you just ask when you got there

    • @ellabouvard
      @ellabouvard 11 місяців тому

      For the Eurostar once you’ve Booked your tickets there’s a link to request assistance with your booking confirmation number or you can ring them. You can ask on the day but it’s better to book in advance. They’re also supposed to take care of the TGV at the other end but I’d recommend leaving enough time and going and asking on the day as they had no idea we were there on the way back!
