This from a frog


I visited Epcot about sixteen years ago. The place was really pretty cool, if a bit lightweight at times. Some of the biological exhibits were quite interesting, and we arranged something of a bind the scenes tour.

I was in a wheelchair at the time, which was quite educational in itself. Those folks are sooooo polite, so they'd ask my parents if I could walk a few steps to get on a ride. I'd be right there, and they'd talk to my parents, not me. The reason I was in the chair was because I had broken a bone in my foot while hiking the AT. However, I had broken the bone about 1,100 miles earlier, and the special shoe was largely because of a mis-diagnosis which was corrected once I saw an orthopedic surgeon back home. Now, I realize that I resembled a POW victim, as I had passed the starvation point a few weeks before the end of the hike, but there was clearly a cast on my foot, not on my head, so they might have actually talked TO me, rather than around me. In the couple of days we were there, only one employee talked directly to me unless I got in their face a bit.
