Taxi Information
Hi – I am a new member planning to travel to Tokyo and Kyoto in November with a foldable electric wheelchair. I will need a taxi to get around. Here are my questions.
How do I book a cab?
Can I expect the cab driver to put my folded chair into the trunk?
Do I need a special cab?
Thanks. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Good morning.
I run a taxi company in the Kansai region that specializes in wheelchairs. What type of wheelchair do you have? Electric? Or manual? Of course, you can use a regular taxi, but if you have an electric wheelchair, you will need to use a vehicle like ours. Could you please tell me more about yourself?
Thank you.

Tokyo Disney/DisneySea disabled tickets
Hi all!
Is there some trick to buying the discounted disabled tickets from the Tokyo Disney website? I have an account, but no matter what I do, the process errors out right at the end. I would appreciate any tips you might have if you have been successful in buying the discounted tickets.

1Hello Pao,
I am able to get through all of the pages you shared here. It errors out right at the end, after all of those pages, as the payment should go through. It would be helpful to hear from someone using a foreign credit card to pay for the tickets, as the error codes I am seeing seem to be for this reason.

Orchid Festival at Kew Gardens
My Support Worker and I visited the Orchid Festival at Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew on Friday, and it was magnificent. The displays inside the Princess of Wales Conservatory were stunning, with beautiful orchids, detailed jungle scenes, and a tribute to the Year of the Horse. They of course, had pandas, sea monkeys

They’re all great, but the monkeys are my favourite 🐒

Please share your experience with Zip Air. I am a c5 quad, looking at California to Tokyo.
It would really have to be a big difference in cost to make it worthwhile, once you add on luggage/carry on fees, meals and possibly hotel (depending on departure time). We added it up and didn’t seem worth it.
