Separate toilets
Hi
When I was in Canada, and when I visited the US, the toilets generally had an “accessible stall” that had some hand rails and was slightly bigger. The male/female toilet split always was hard when my primary caregiver at the time was my mom.
I was pleasantly surprised when I moved to Japan and they had a separate single-person unisex toilet…

Many new and larger buildings have a separate family toilet, but you really can’t depend on finding one. Even our best toilets aren’t like toilets in Japan.

Warner Bros Studio Tour Review
If you’re planning a trip to Southern California, the WB Studios Tour is a popular spot to visit! I give my accessibility and overall review in this vlog.
Before touring, I didn’t realize just how many of my favorite shows and movies fell under the Warner Bros umbrella.

Can’t wait to do this, especially since I live less than 2 miles away. I can wheel to it in 20 minutes from my home.

Sorry, but I’m going to add more, as I live here in LA, have gone to a few TV show tapings, and have worked in the industry as an extra.
So, WB is just one of the studios that offer tours. Disney (if you’re a D23 member, so that one’s the most expensive), Sony, and Universal all offer studio tours. Universal is the one that’s more of an…

Legal action on bed height accessibility
This slipped past my radar, but so glad to see it. Sometimes the bed heights are downright dangerous to transfer from/to. I hope this brings global change!

Bed heights are a nightmare. In my case, they are usually too high. I’d be nice if bed height at accessible rooms was adjustable or at least to know the height easily in advance without having to call…

Osaka is so popular and such a big city. We weren’t with our son so we weren’t looking for accessibility and we were still overwhelmed. We even lost out camper van not being able to find our parking lot for awhile :). We could have used a good map with locations of great bathrooms and good restaurants.
