Epilepsy Awareness Day 2013 at Disneyland Resort On Face Book

 

November will be Epilepsy Awareness Month-this event is coming up quick!

 

I have always wanted to bring Asia to Disneyland...First, because she loves rides:) She loves a ride that will take her really fast and high into the air. She smiles and giggles the whole time. I think she would absolutely love Disneyland. She loves watching Disney on TV and when she says she wants to go to the "mall" she really means she wants to go to the "Disney Store" in the mall. She gets mad when we go into a different store for shopping because she only has 1 place she wants to go! It is very difficult to go anywhere with her and my other kids. She requires so much attention and I have a toddler-which also requires a lot of attention. I often considered going because Disney had a great policy for people with Disabilities- being able to avoid the long lines. Asia would definitely not be able to handle those long lines, she tires so easily. This privilege was being abused by so many that Disney had to change the policy. They now have a "new" policy. They will still be accommodating but plan ahead. Click this link below for all of the details.

A couple of FAQ's

What do I get with my ticket purchase?

The purchase of your ticket includes a full day entrance to Disneyland’s Magic Kingdom park (that’s the main park. Entrance to California Adventures is not included, sorry!), as well as a Participant Pack which contains a limited edition purple event shirt featuring a Disney character, and an event bag!

What is this about a Participant Pack? Do I need to have one? Can I just come to Disneyland that day without purchasing a Participant Pack?

The Participant Pack is a really neat SWAG Bag (Stuff We Always Get) of goodies prepared just for Epilepsy Awareness Day at Disneyland Resort 2013! It contains a limited edition Epilepsy Awareness Day purple T-shirt and tote bag which can only be obtained by purchasing the participant pack. They will not be sold anywhere else! In addition, the Participant Pack will be full of all sorts of helpful information about Epilepsy. Do you need one to participate? Absolutely not. However, by purchasing the pack, you will be helping to increase our funds which will go to support epilepsy research and awareness. Plus, you’ll look super fly in that purple shirt

 

This all sounds great! How much does it cost to attend Epilepsy Awareness Day at Disneyland, and where can I get my ticket?

Entrance to the park on Epilepsy Awareness Day will cost the same as a regular adult single-day, single-park ticket: $92. Tickets can be purchased from our Store page.
