For many people, traveling with a disability brings with it a wide set of additional costs that a non-disabled person would never even consider. We thought it might be interesting to ask about these extra costs and ask you, the audience, what it costs for you to travel as a disabled person.
Tell us which costs are directly and…

I’m from CA.
At home, the state pays for my in-home personal care assistant (PCA). When I travel, the PCA can’t travel with me. So, I have to pay for a PCA ‘out of pocket’ just to help me for two hours each day.

Traveling with someone for personal care really adds to the price. I cannot go without them. A hotel room can be shared, and I’d need one anyway, but the airfare is the biggest unavoidable cost.

Additionally, many of the newer ships require you place your ship card in the wall slot to power your room. If you leave your room, all power stops the minute you remove the ship card from…

As a picky eater, I feel like a bit of an imposter posting on this group 😅 However, there were so many food options on my latest cruise (Royal Caribbean’s Utopia) that I made a whole vlog of them! I personally rate their food as better than Disney Cruise’s but I know my limited palette doesn’t hold too much weight. What is the best cruise…

I need a power wheelchair or scooter for any distance. Our travel agent seems to think we could have difficulty or need a special license. Any info will be helpful. Going to Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, and Hiroshima. Thank you!

When I emailed the govt section dealing with special licensing they basically said that wheelchair was okay but I recommend you email them to confirm this for yourself.
they are particularly interested in the medications and medical supplies and equipment. I had to list out each item and get approval. I also need a doctors letter to prove the disability.

Hi, I live in Japan and use a foreign made power wheelchair and before moving here I brought my wheelchair numerous times. So, there should be no problem there.
