I'd love to know a good way to fix Buggy wheels - I have a broken one. I have put in a metal pin where the wheel goes into the axle, but that has broken. I don't want to have gloppy glue all over it that is obvious.

I have received a few nice things from people "randomly" in Disney. Except that a group of people that you stand in line with for over an hour, and make small talk with, tend not to be total strangers by the time you start trading pins or keychains with them. Just walking up to someone and handing them a gift because , "you have a child" or "you look like you really like Tinkerbell" IS definitely creepy.
I think the only time I've done that was when my family was heading out of the parks at night, with my grandma in a wheelchair, and we still had same-day Fast Passes (I don't remember why we had gotten them from a Cast Member right now) but they were going to be wasted if they didn't get used by park close, so we walked along one of the more popular ride areas and specifically looked for people who were scoping out the signage to see how long the wait was, and handing them off to a grateful family who did not want to wait 3 hours in line! But they don't give out Fast Passes anymore so ...

The new LPS are definitely wider spread than the BF ponies. I've always had a hard time finding the ponies, but the LPS I've found tons of stock of in every toy/"nerdy" shop I've been into in the past few months.
I know the BF line won't last forever... but I hope it lasts at least a little bit longer 
interesting, I have not seen any!

I hope that BF sees how popular the MLP products have been and go with releasing Baby Ponies or even the Flutters.
I really didn't love the Original 6 ponies in the first place as a child, I liked the mid-years. Now we have what, 4 re-releases of them? Too many to keep track of! We thought Cotton Candy was the OG "too many of her" pony... yeah...

I've always considered it a 50/50 balance. 50% of my disability is me managing the things my disability causes, and 50% is dealing with barriers and obstacles in society that I don't have any control over.
I don't think it's a choice to opt out of society. I think a lot of disabled people are locked out of it by societal expectations and norms.
....
Technology is great when it helps people. I'm not knocking that. But it's not all about physical or tech aids. It's mostly about people changing their attitudes and making processes more generally inclusive.
And even when tech is helpful, it has to be available, which in many cases it is not.
I completely agree! If people would just stop creating obstacles and barriers for others. Find out what people need to succeed and support them with that! And access to these supports is totally vital. I also struggle with navigation - my husband gets so angry when he tells me to turn left and somehow I turn right! LOL Definitely don't tell me to go east/west/north/south or we will never get to the destination! Say, "Turn left at the McDonalds" or "see that big tree, the NEXT street, go there" My grandma had this problem too - she would enter the highway going the wrong direction and end up in a different state and have to find an exit ramp and turn around...
