Sorry Michael, I just re-read your email and saw that you mentioned going in
June, 2012.  I don't know how flexible you are with your schedule and plans
but just as a 411, June is hotter than the blazes in Florida that time of
year.  If you plan on hopping from indoor activity to indoor activity it
shouldn't be too bad.

Best to you,

Erin

Hi,
I know some of you have been to DW on here, and we are planning a trip for
June 2012. My question isn't really parenting related, because there will be
4 adults, and 3 kids, so the kids should not create an issue for 1 blind
dad. 
 
What is the best kind of cane to take. I was thinking the telescoping kind.
Easy to collapse before getting on rides, and it will be small enough I can
just put it in the stroller with a kid if I don't feel like using it at the
time.
 
if I am the only one who wants to go on a ride, will the Cast Members
assist, or will my wife need to go to help me get on, but then she not get
on herself.
 
Other tips for a blind adult at DW?
 
I know of the Braille maps and guides, but those don't interest me much,
unless I can get them ahead of time. I don't want to take time away from the
kids' play to read a guide.
 
Thanks,
Michael
