As I look back on the times that I have I had of spending time at Disney and surrounding parks over my life (and especially the times over the last decade while I was sick), I am truly speechless with gratitude over the beautiful opportunities. Each day or time always seemed to have so much "magic" in every sense of the way.
At the same time though, I have traveled enough while I fought for my health to know that you don't "leave" your sick body and automatically get a "new one" so it is important to understand and prepare ahead of time for any trip when you are chronically ill. Traveling takes a risk and a courage- especially when you don't feel well, but when I was sick I wanted to live as fully as possible despite being sick. I wanted to grab onto life and experience it and live bigger than my world of illness allowed.
I have never regretted this for one moment and know that it is a large part of the reason that I still love traveling today and going on adventures near and far away!

Today I wanted to share 4 Tips specifically related to enjoying Epcot with a chronic illness and hope that these will help you in your next adventure!
1. Plan your Meal Times Ahead of Time
If part of your Chronic Illness includes a special diet (like myself) you will want to research ahead of time which restaurants are allergen friendly. One of the great things about Epcot is the choices of "allergen friendly" restaurants and options that they have. One thing that I love about Epcot is the very large amount of restaurants that there are to choose from (in my opinion it is a bit simpler to find a variety of different choices then in Magic Kingdom Park sometimes!) and it is great for those who have a chronic illness for a few specific reasons:
1. Many "spoonies" like myself try to eat a healthy diet and whether you go "around the world" or just eat at "the land" there are tons of different and yummy health options.
2. For those who have lots of dietary restrictions like myself, there really is a restaurant for everyone. I have eaten in so many different countries and at the land so many times and there are so many options! One of the things that I most appreciate about my experiences at Epcot is that staff members are knowledgeable, helpful, and know all the details. This makes it incredibly easy to choose something yummy and safe within my dietary restrictions without making a big production of anything.
3. I have to say that one of the things that I mentioned in my post, 10 Tips for enjoying Disney With a Chronic Illness, is the weather and heat factor. For some that are struggling with a chronic illness heat is extremely difficult and Epcot provides different sit-down air conditioned restaurants (even in the land) which is a great bonus.
2. Plan a Route
One of the best tips if you are trying to conserve energy to enjoy as much as you can is to plan out a route for Epcot. For those struggling with a chronic illness the large scope of the world showcase can be daunting and planning a route can be incredibly helpful.
3. Stay with Your Group as Much as Possible
One of the things that I really enjoyed at Epcot was having the opportunity to hang out with my friends up till the moment that they got on a ride that I couldn't ride. I see this happen a lot at Disney and it deserves to be mentioned here also. Epcot is great about this too! They encourage you to spend time with your loved ones and you can easily exit (without having to go back through the whole line) when your party goes to get on a ride. I know that at some theme parks this isn't an option, but at Epcot it is, and is wonderful that you don't miss out on time with people.
4. Enjoy the Shows and Presentations
One of the unique parts of Epcot is the plethora of shows and presentations that are available to the visitor. For a lot of "spoonies" this can be a wonderful gift as it can give you a chance to sit down and rest a bit while you and your group are still enjoying the park!

Happy Tuesday friends! I hope that you have a wonderful day!
Happy Tuesday friends! I am so excited to share more about the trip to Florida that I took last week! Today I am specifically excited to share about Whispering Canyon Cafe that is located at the Disney World's Wilderness Lodge.
Whispering Canyon Cafe is one of the signature restaurants at the Disney World's Wilderness Lodge which is located in the heart of "the most magical place on earth". Our drive up to the entrance of the lodge (which I had never visited before) was beautiful! The rustic inspired majesty of the America's Great Northwest and National Park Lodges truly give a feeling of great outdoors while keeping the service that is fully Disney and yet a bit removed. We did not stay there, but loved the opportunity to use the My Disney App to book our breakfast there to start off our day.
Our reservation was for 9:25am and we arrived a few minutes early and it was so fun to see the beginning part of the resort. After we ate we took a walk around, which I will show pictures of a little bit later on in this post.
We were immediately impressed with the lovely welcome that we received and also the restaurant itself. It was fun. The energy inside the restaurant created such a fun atmosphere from beginning to end that it was the perfect beginning to our Saturday.
Whispering Canyon Cafe provides breakfast, lunch, and dinner and is open to the public each day and reservations are highly recommended. If you are coming to visit Disney and use the Disney app you can arrange your reservations through the app for Whispering Canyon Cafe. The menu for the restaurant is limited in its selections, but with lots of different options. You can find the menus HERE!
It took us some time to decide on what we wanted (because everything looked delicious!) but we were all so excited with what we chose. Y'all. It was AMAZING. It was delicious and so yummy!!
The restaurant is a lot of fun and there tons of laughter. There different quirks with things and you can even end up in "jail". The laughter in the room provided such a fun beginning to our day. We had the best time just sitting and chatting and talking! We ended up spending two hours just relaxing there and it was one of my favorite meals that I ever had a Disney property.
For those who have food allergies like myself, one of the things that was delightful to discover was how much Whispering Canyon Cafe catered to my food allergies. When the reservations were made with the Disney app I had the opportunity to "forewarn" the kitchen of my allergies. and when we sat down one of the first things that our waiter did was go over the restrictions I had. The waiter quickly and competently shared the items that would be best for me and also about the different items that could be tailored (including the the amazing waffles I had!!) to be gluten free. As someone who has health issues it was nice to know that these options were available at the restaurant even before we arrived. It was refreshing to know that so much precautions were taken and I could enjoy my meal with no worries of cross-contamination.
After our meal we had some time before our next adventure and so we decided to walk around the grounds and it was so pretty!
I truly hope that y'all have the opportunity to go and eat at Whispering Canyon Cafe. You will have so much fun!!
At the same time though, I have traveled enough while I have been fighting for my health to know that you don't "leave" your sick body and automatically get a "new one" so it is important to understand and prepare ahead of time for any trip when you are chronically ill. Traveling takes a risk and a courage- especially when you don't feel well, but when I was sick I wanted to live as fully as possible despite being sick. I wanted to grab onto life and experience it and live bigger than my world of illness allowed.
I have never regretted this for one moment and know that it is a large part of the reason that I still love traveling today and going on adventures near and far away!
So if you are taking that risk... if you are stepping out and grabbing onto life in a new way and are going for a visit to DisneyWorld while you are ill I applaud you. I applaud you for any small or big steps you are taking as you heal.
If you are looking for extra tips for your trip I shared a post a couple of years ago entitled 10 Tips for Enjoying Disneyworld with a Chronic Illness that may be helpful to read. Today I wanted to share 4 Tips specifically related to enjoying Animal Kingdom with a chronic illness and hope that these will help you in your next adventure!

1. Plan your Meal Times Ahead of Time
If part of your Chronic Illness includes a special diet (like myself) you will want to research ahead of time which restaurants are allergen friendly. One of the great things about Animal Kingdom is the choices of "allergen friendly" restaurants and options that they have. One of my favorites in the park is Satu'li' Canteen which I shared a bit about in my post HERE, but it was definitely a great pick for those who have a chronic illness for a few specific reasons:
1. Many "spoonies" like myself try to eat a healthy diet and this place offers tons of different and yummy health options. You can see the menu HERE.
2. For those who have lots of dietary restrictions like myself, this place is a perfect solution for everyone. One of the things that I most appreciated about our experience here was that when I asked one of the staff members a question about one of my allergies she immediately pulled out an allergy friendly map that explained in detail every menu item and if it would be "dietary appropriate" for those who have a myriad of allergies (including dairy, corn, wheat, egg, etc.). This made it incredibly easy to choose something yummy and safe within my dietary restrictions without making a big production of anything.
3. I have to say that one of the things that I mentioned in my post, 10 Tips for enjoying Disney With a Chronic Illness, was the weather and heat factor. For some that are struggling with a chronic illness heat is extremely difficult and Satu'li' Canteen is a sit-down air conditioned restaurant (something that is typically only reserved for the more expensive restaurants in the Disney parks). Satu'li' Canteen offers breakfast, lunch, and dinner options and is located in the new Pandora section of Animal Kingdom.
If you are needing special assistance with figuring out dietary issues within animal kingdom you can call ahead of time or place your order on-line. You can find out more about this by clicking HERE. If you have questions and want to discuss several things you can email the Special Dietary staff who will be happy to help you. You can find out their contact information by clicking HERE.
2. Plan a Route
One of the best tips if you are trying to conserve energy to enjoy as much as you can is to plan out a route using the "My Disney Experience App" or just by studying a map. The "My Disney Experience App" can is a huge help with planning out a route for your time in Animal Kingdom and helps keep you up-to-date on wait times and fast pass information. You can find out more about the app by clicking HERE.
3. Stay with Your Group as Much as Possible
One of the things that I really enjoyed at Animal Kingdom was having the opportunity to hang out with my friends up till the moment that they got on a ride that I couldn't ride. When we arrived in Asia in Animal Kingdom we waited in line for Everst which my friends rode and really enjoyed. I wasn't able to ride due to health reasons, but this didn't make me wait outside. I see this happen a lot, but Animal Kingdom is really great about this. They encourage you to spend time with your loved ones and you can easily exit (without having to go back through the whole line) when your party goes to get on a ride. I know that at some theme parks this isn't an option, but at Animal Kingdom it is, and is wonderful that you don't miss out on time with people.
4. Enjoy the Shows and Presentations
One of the unique parts of Animal Kingdom is the plethora of shows and presentations that are available to the visitor. From Broadway caliber shows like The Lion King to talks about different animals there are numerous things to see and learn. For a lot of "spoonies" this can be a wonderful gift as it can give you a chance to sit down and rest a bit while you and your group are still enjoying the park!

11 Priceless Reasons You Should Stay at a Disney Resort if You are Traveling with a Chronic Illness to Disney
February 7, 2019
Happy Thursday friends! Today, for this Thursday Health Thoughts post I am so excited to share with y'all 11 Reasons You Should Stay at a Disney Resort Property if You are Traveling with a Chronic Illness to Disney.
Over the last 6 years of fighting to regain my health I have had the incredible opportunity to visit and spend time at Disneyworld, Disneyland, or on a Disney Cruise 7 times. I always walk away so impressed with how Disney is such a wonderful place for those walking through the journey of illness. Disney is a fantastic place to visit and is extremely accommodating for those with physical illnesses and needs, and this starts at their resorts. I know how expensive the Disney Resorts are and when you are fighting for your health money is something that is even more precious to consider. You may wonder if it is worth it to invest in a Disney Property stay and I hope that these 11 reasons will help you consider this and see the valuable reasons why this is important!

1. You Get Extra Magic Hours
Energy levels with a chronic illness can vary from person to person and day to day. Guests staying a Disney Resort property have access to certain parks either before or after the normal operating hours each day through the "Extra Magic Hours" program.
Disney releases a schedule (click HERE) where you can see months in advance what those Magic Hours will be for the parks for the day to help you make a decision prior to booking and you will receive a schedule when you check in at your resort. (The schedule is always available on the My Disney Experience App also!)
These extra magic hours can be priceless for those needing to return to their resort during the day to rest and still want to experience a full day at Disney.

These extra magic hours can be priceless for those needing to return to their resort during the day to rest and still want to experience a full day at Disney.
2. Access to the Best FastPass+ Options
Waiting in line for a popular ride can be tiring, even for those who are perfectly healthy, but for those with a chronic illness this can add a stress to a fun day. With a stay at a Disney Resort Property you will have the opportunity to have access to the best FastPass+ options available. This is incredibly helpful for those very popular rides (where lines can be incredibly long with up to 3 hour waits!). While most guests can book out 30 days, those staying at a Disney Resort can pick their FastPasses 60 days out! Instead of spending your energy in line, this allows you to see and do more things on your day in Disney!
Last Spring, when my sister and I went to Disney and stayed at the Coronado Springs Resort, I experienced my first "Magical Express Bus Service". Let me tell you it was incredibly easy and wonderful, and I didn't even have to spend the energy to pick up my bags from the luggage carousal. When I had an early flight out on my return trip home it was just as simple and easy and completely hassle free (something that is incredibly important for those struggling with a chronic illness).
Extra Tip: The Magical Express Bus does make more than one resort stop, so make sure that when you schedule your departure time from your hotel back to the airport at the end of your Disney vacation that you plan for a few hours before your flight.

4. Free Disney Transportation
I know that I have talked about this here on the blog before, but there is an intricate and well-developed transportation system network between all the hotels, parks, and attractions for Disney via the buses, boats, monorails (and soon to be Skyliner!). If you are staying at a Disney Resort this is a free option (saving you the money of parking at a park or attraction) and saving you the time of driving between the different parks and attractions yourself.
As a person traveling with a chronic illness this can give you a chance to sit back, relax, and regroup your energy for a few moments between your adventures of the day.
There are a few things to consider as far as which transportation you will have access to depending on where you stay. The monorail system is the most convenient (less waiting times, easier access to Magic Kingdom and Epcot), but it comes with the price tag to the more expensive Disney properties. These include the Contemporary Resort, Grand Floridian, and the Polynesian Village Resort.
The Ferry boat connects several properties -Fort Wilderness Resort and the Wilderness Lodge go to Magic Kingdom, while Dolphin and Swan Resorts, the Yacht Club, Beach Club, Disney's Boardwalk Inn can go to Epcot and Hollywood Studios- with the parks. Disney's Port Orleans, Old Key West, and Saratoga Sprins Resorts have boat access to Disney Springs. This can be a tranquil (although you may have to wait a longer time for this service and also it will take longer to get places) experience and a relaxing one depending on your preference of movement with your illness.
All of the Disney Resorts are connected by a bus network system and soon the Disney Skyliner will connect the Art of Animation Resort, Caribbean Beach Resort, and Disney's Pop Century Resort to Epcot and Hollywood Studios! This is exciting especially for those who are looking to save money and stay at these cheaper Disney Resorts.

5. Disney Dining Plan Flexibility (and More Access)
If you are looking to have access to a dining plan when you are in Disney than you will want to stay at a Disney Resort as it is only Disney Resort Guests that have access to these dining plans and then only ones that can choose their reservations 6 months out from your vacation!
There are a ton of different options when you are choosing a dining plan from quick (and cheaper meals) to the deluxe (and more expensive meals) options. When choosing this you will want to make sure that the restaurants you choose will be able to accommodate your dietary needs, something that Disney is excellent on doing.
Extra Tip: Every so often Disney has a free Disney Dining Plan... it is limited and goes quickly, but keep your eyes peeled if you are looking to save even more money.

Extra Tip: Every so often Disney has a free Disney Dining Plan... it is limited and goes quickly, but keep your eyes peeled if you are looking to save even more money.
If you have a special diet (like myself) you will want to research ahead of time which restaurants are allergen friendly.The Disney Resorts will work with your diet (call ahead of time if you have any specific questions) and this is a wonderful thing to have at the place you stay. The above picture is an appetizer plate that I had with friends at a dinner at the Il Mulino Restaurant at the Disney World Swan Hotel and it was absolutely fabulous - completely incredible in the way that they accommodated my allergies and still was able to share food with friends!
Extra Tip: If you think that there is the slightest chance that you will use the room service option then call ahead to the resort and speak to them with as much notice as possible. This will allow them to have as much time as possible to accommodate your allergy needs for the room service menu (which can be different and unique than the restaurant on property).

7. Access to Your Own Kitchen
If you have specific dietary needs due to your chronic illness that you must cook your own food, then a Disney Resort room that has its own kitchen can be the perfect answer. While there are not a ton of rooms with this option, there are a few so check out the properties that offer this!
8. Disney Purchases Can Be Delivered to Your Resort Room Free of Charge
It can be fun to find some sweet souvenirs of your time at Disney only to realize that you have to spend the energy carrying them around with you all day long. If there is one thing that we all know with a chronic illness we do not need to spend any extra energy carrying anything. The beauty of Disney is that they have thought about a lot of these things even down to your purchases. If you don't want to carry it around with you all day then just have it sent to your Disney Resort (free of charge!). It will be delivered to your room "magically" *smiles* and you can find it at the end of the day!
Extra Tip: This can take several hours so don't do this if you are in a rush!
11. You Save Time and EnergyExtra Tip: This can take several hours so don't do this if you are in a rush!
9. Tons of Fun Activities Even if You Don't Feel Well Enough to Do Disney
A chronic illness can bring a vast array of symptoms that vary from day to day...and even hour to hour. It can be incredibly discouraging to have this happen while you are on a fun trip to Disney. If you find yourself not feeling up to dealing with the crowds or the travel and energy in the park, the great thing is is that there is a ton of different options right at your resort that you can take part in. From activities, to pools, to volleyball, to shops, and even to evening activities you can find the fun right at the resort and still have an amazing vacation.
There is no extra cost for participating in these activities and you can still experience a Disney vacation in this unique and fun way!
Extra Tip: Some of the resorts even include character events (i.e. the "Chip and Dale singalong at the Fort Wilderness Resort, etc.) so definitely investigate the options before your trip so you can have this as a back up plan if you need it!

10. "The Disney Bubble"
Disney has done a great job of carrying the Disney Theme into the hotels and hotel rooms (small touches such as character references, hidden Mickey's, etc.) and can be found in your stay. Going back to #9- this really allows you to be part of the "Disney Bubble" on your vacation no matter how little or much time you are able to spend at the park depending on how you are feeling.
Finally... and maybe the most important is the time and energy component. Time and energy are priceless commodities when you are walking the road of having a Chronic Illness and both are saved when staying at a Disney Resort. While it may cost you a bit more money, it will have a priceless return of investment that you will be glad that you experienced when you are on your trip.
At the end of the day, Disney is one of the best places to visit if you are struggling with a chronic illness and staying at a Disney Resort is even better. I have witnessed and been the recipient of so many compassionate staff members who were happy to help me and many others too. The goal of the staff at the resorts is to truly try and help people have an amazing day and believe in the magic that surrounds Disney. I can't recommend it enough as a vacation place if you are struggling with an illness. You won't be disappointed and will walk away being encouraged to believe in dreams and miracles.
