Hey Jordan,

I’ve never done Disney, but I have done Busch Gardens. It’s almost the same concept though. It is doable and can be a lot of fun. It’ll definitely help you master some cane skills and advocating when you need help. Good luck on the adventure, and I look forward and hearing Back if you do it.

I wonder if any of you federationists have been to Disney by yourselves, or have even thought of such an undertaking.  I know most blind people go with their families, or sided guides. But I’m so bored in Ocala, and I have way too much time to kill.  I can buy an annual pass, and dedicate a lot of time to orientation and mobility.  I’ve gone on cruise ships, solo rather regularly, and I’ve enjoyed the experience. But I wonder if Disney’s Magic Kingdom would be too much of an undertaking?  Just for some background, I’m 39, and was born blind. I am totally blind now. So I’ve never had vision to start with.   I wonder if my total lack of sight would ruin the Disney experience. Not from the visual aspect per se, but just from not really being able to navigate and actually enjoy any attractions.    Your thoughts?
