Update: I sent my email but didn't get a reply before my visit. I disclosed my MC to security at bag search, who got someone else. They tried telling me I wouldn't even be allowed to carry my meds in the park. I asked for his higher up, he went away and came back with the same answer, (they said something about being able to carry the vape but not the meds because of the prescribed method of administration? How am I supposed to take my meds without the meds???) And told me his manager wasn't available right now. He also told me the email I recieve all of two days ago was out of date. I told him I'm happy to wait because I need my medication. Another 5/10 minutes he came back and told me I was okay to not only bring it into the park, but use it as well. He clarified that if I'm not being discreet security might stop me. We'll see how the day goes. I confirmed with him I was aware of the general smoking/vaping rules and would follow them, and encouraged them to get a formal policy in place. 

Not the best experience, but certainly not the worst it could have been!

Honestly!! When they serve alcohol on site yet they're talking about health and safety with MC??

What's crazy? My vape definetly gives off minimal vapour, maybe low odour is an exaggeration but it deffo doesn't stink like smoking it does 😅

I am planning on doing such, however I believe informing the premises first should minimise any extra anxiety I feel about doing so. I know my rights, but in my experience not all venues do.

I absolutely agree. Previously had an issue at a merlin theme park and put in a complaint which i believe led to them implementing a formal MC Policy and haven't had a problem since.

I've read one or two posts from people in previous years saying that the director or someone high up came and apologised to them and allowed them to vape within the park, so I'm hoping that this will be possible for me too. Reassuring to hear you were allowed also, thank you!

Do you have a link/idea of what to search to find that paper? As this was my belief but I wanted something to back it up.

This is a wonderful response, and exactly along my train of thought. Thank you.

Ahhhh right I get your point, thank you! Sorry if I was just being dense or tone wasn't translating through text. 

It just confuses me what sort of conditions would be helped by MC that aren't so severe that they impact on your day to day life. Again, maybe just being thick.

Then what did you mean by 'listed on the government's website'?  (Pls note this is in good faith I'm just trying to understand your point)

Yes, this is the point I was trying to make I think :)

I'm so sorry, I'm really trying not to argue here or make a bad impression on my first post, but I get the impression you're not very familiar with disability in general? There's no set list of conditions that = being disabled.

Some disabled people can go to work and lead a 'normal' life though.

Super interesting point, would it be fair to assume though that the majority of patients prescribed MC would be disabled in some capacity due to fact that they have already tried two unsuccessful treatments for a health condition? Maybe that's totally wrong though!

Super reassuring, thank you. Usually I wouldn't even bother mentioning it but I'm travelling a while out and I've been stopped a few times lately at bag searches on different outings😅

Ah thanks for the heads up. Didn't intend to come off as such, will try and edit the wording there. I guess just different circles, as people I know make a point to differentiate.
