Ann Arbor, MI (ContentDesk) August 25, 2005 -- America's most popular resort destination makes it to the top of the charts for many reasons?a hug from Mickey, a childhood revisited, a cleaner, safer, friendlier world....Chief among them is Disney's hospitality. Every visitor is a guest, and Disney's parks, restaurants and hotels strive to embrace everyone. It's hardly a one-size-fits-all world at Disney's Orlando property, yet everyone seems to fit.
Sometimes these efforts are obvious?you'll see more wheelchairs and electric scooters in Disney parks than you're likely to see anywhere else unless it's a medical center or retirement community. More often though, it's the invisible?accommodations available for those who know to ask: - devices to help a hearing- or vision-impaired guest enjoy a show - theme park maps and translation devices in six languages - "Special assistance" for children with autism or ADD - a sheltered spot to breastfeed an infant - chefs and waiters schooled to serve a wide spectrum of special dietary needs - rides sized to fit guests of various disabilities
and dimensions...
You could fill a volume, and indeed, that's what PassPorter Travel Press and authors Deb Wills and Debra Martin Koma have done in a new guidebook. "PassPorter's Walt Disney World for Your Special Needs" delivers more than 400 pages of in-depth information for Walt Disney World vacationers of all abilities. Just released in August 2005, this new addition to the PassPorter Travel Press catalog offers in-depth coverage of every ride, attraction and resort on Walt Disney World property from a distinctive "special needs" perspective. Consider the typical multi-generational family planning a vacation?pregnant and nursing moms, parents with infants, cousins "keeping Kosher" or Halal, grandparents with declining mobility, a child with food allergies, an uncle struggling with obesity, a teenaged daughter recently "converted" to vegetarianism... everyday people coping with everyday needs.
And Disney World does more to accommodate their many needs than nearly anyplace else.
To bring this publishing vision to pass, PassPorter recruited authors Deb Wills and Debra Martin Koma, respectively founder/publisher/editor and senior editor of http://www.allearsnet.com, the most often cited and respected independent guide to Walt Disney World on the Internet. As publisher Dave Marx explained, "We knew Deb and Debra would be perfect for the job. Their input as expert peer reviewers for our ?regular' Walt Disney World guidebook has been invaluable. Deb's site already contains many valuable articles addressing what we consider ?special needs,' and AllEarsNet's sensitive, comprehensive, accurate, and eminently readable approach to travel information was just what we needed." Look for "PassPorter's Walt Disney World for Your Special Needs" (ISBN 1-58771-018-8) from booksellers nationwide and online.
