Vikki, I'm 100% certain that SuperDry wrote a respectful and appropriate reply to you, and in no way questioned your situation or assumed you were "not handicapped" or anything like that. He was simply explaining the best procedure for ANYONE with special needs, namely to seek out a resting place in one of the first aid departments in the parks (rather than taking a rest in a special needs restroom area where OTHER people with special needs might need to use the facilities in the meantime). I realize I might be playing with fire here, but I think that if you re-read his comments, you'll realize that none of them were meant to diminish or demean your situation, and all of them were meant in the spirit of advising and informing you about what the best methods for achieving your vacation objectives might be. To play with fire even further, I'd say you owe SuperDry an apology for jumping to conclusions. And I, again, hope that you have a WONDERFUL and enjoyable time at the Tokyo Disney Resort and I definitely hope that the advice you've received here will be very useful and helpful!

Maybe some people use things when they shouldn;t, I see it every day with car parking but it wasn;t like i was just asking for no reason. Maybe I am sensative but until your in a situation like myself you dont know how it feel like etc.
Originally Posted By Mr X Okay, back into the fire. He NEVER implied or insinuated that you were or were not handicapped. He DID advise you of the fact that, EVEN FOR A HANDICAPPED PERSON, using the restroom as a resting place is not appropriate, in deference to OTHER handicapped persons who might need to use the same facilities. He also advised you about the first aid facilities in the parks that you can make use of for resting purposes. Beyond that, you are just trying to be difficult or else your reading comprehension just totally sucks. I'm very sorry that you've turned this very pleasant and helpful topic into a bit of an argument, but I'm not going to let you get away with beating up on people who's only objective was to help you out with your trip.

I never once said i would misuse this and asked if there was alternatives etc. I dont come here to be abused etc, your the one that has now made this an argument. Thank you for making it all now not so magical if people are quick to argue with people like I have seen on here.... Also, you obviosly dont understand what morphone is like either....
Originally Posted By Mr X ***This sentance comes accross rough, and wasn;t the only one whpo thought so... ''Be considerate of the handicapped persons that need such a facility!''*** Okay, fine. It's a matter of semantics, but if he'd simply written "be considerate of other persons that need such a facility" would you have had a cow over it? But whatever. I'm done with this. Clearly you want to take offense at the slightest opportunity and were looking for just that. You should thank the folks who went out of there way to help you on this (including the expensive phone call *I* placed on your behalf, just to save you from the international rates!), but instead you want to take umbrage, despite several explanations. Have at it. Enjoy your outrage. I'm done.
Originally Posted By Mr X ***I never once said i would misuse this*** Actually, you did. That bizarre notion of yours is EXACTLY why SuperDry chimed in, and then you spit in his face for his efforts. WAY not cool. Nobody here set out to insult you, or to belittle you, or any of the other stuff you are assuming.
Originally Posted By vickitricki Firstly, I did that everyone that helped. Secondly...The reason I posted on here was to ask if what I had heard was true ie is the room there for hanicapped people in the toilets.. As I dont know you and you don;t know me it makes it hard to know what people are meaning and can be taken out of context.
Originally Posted By Mr X I understand. In any case, you should be able to find a resting place in the first aid stations in either park, and if you need to know where to go any cast member will certainly help you (they all know the term "first aid", as long as you say it slowly). I hope you have a very enjoyable trip.

Is it just for those who are in wheelchairs, blind, etc? It was so hard on my back & we took frequent breaks so that I could sit. We didn't go the way of the wheelchair as I need to walk, it's the sitting or standing for long periods that kills me.
