Universal Studios Hollywood Was An Amazing Experience Yesterday! And Honestly Was Super Disability Friendly

Universal Studios Hollywood was an amazing experience yesterday! And honestly was super disability friendly (from my perspective at least). Accommodations were easy to get and we’re not a hassle at all!! All the staff was super nice and always made sure I would be able to ride the rides/experiences. I’m so happy that it is the way it is. Also, having my crutches was LIFE CHANGING omg sure I was in pain yesterday, but it didn’t get to a point where I couldn’t handle it and today im not in a flare which is AMAZING!!!

Tl;dr: Universal studios Hollywood was an amazing experience and super accommodating and holy shit having my forearm crutches made my life so much easier.

Being young doesn't invalidate my disabilities.

Not being productive doesn't mean I'm "careless."

Not being able to do simple hygiene doesn't make me a "gross" person.

Laying in bed all day doesn't make me "lazy,"

Being overstimulated doesn't mean I'm "too sensitive."

I’m heading to universal today and I’m SO EXCITED!!! I’ve got my crutches and my new Bat Pants (picture included). I really hope today goes well. I couldn’t find my salt pills but here’s hoping I can find salt or something if I need it. I’m going to try and get a disability pass to help avoid standing in lines for super long.

Does anyone have any tips for going to Universal Studios Hollywood while disabled (chronic pain, hypermobility, pots, and autism)?

I’ll have forearm crutches but I’m not sure if that’ll be enough or what not. Also if I were to rent a chair to get around does anyone know how accessible rides are? (I wouldn’t need to be in the wheel chair in the ride or experience etc. Just maybe to get up to the loading place idk)

But seriously any help would be much appreciated
