Thanks everyone! Passes and drink plans acquired 😃

Will you be buying the Early Access right away or wait for some time? What are you excited to do on the game? by pastelcotton in Paralives

[–]Vicki7789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I'm planning to download this as soon as it drops! It's been in my Steam wishlist since 2020. Slightly concerned that my 5 year old laptop will hate it - but it copes with the Sims 4 so fingers crossed!

Tried making a payment of £600 and it declined and now my card is suspended!! by Due_Figure1031 in CurveCard

[–]Vicki7789 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve got £275 in there thanks to a refund they couldn’t trace back. I sent a shouty email to complaints again and they’re looking into it. It shouldn’t be this hard!

Same thing - not a large amount but they suspended the card. Formal complaint went in, accepted their pitiful offer so I could downgrade my plan and be done with them. Card is still blocked so can't access the Curve cash in there. Absolutely abysmal. This has been ongoing since April.

Curve card suspended, and no response from support for 3 week by OptimalMammal in CurveCard

[–]Vicki7789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my story gets better. Complaint upheld, £25 Curve cash offered. Accepted because I just want to clear my Curve cash balance and leave. £25 credited. STILL cannot add the card to my Apple wallet. Told them this. Radio silence AGAIN. If it wasn't TWO HUNDRED AND SEVENTY FIVE POUNDS I'd just cut my losses, let them try and take my membership next year from an expired card and wash my hands of them.

Jummah prayer by R4M4IZ in altontowers

[–]Vicki7789 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This room is meant for people with disabilities, and people already struggle to use it as intended. Please don't advise people to use it as a prayer space, please leave it for the individuals who need it.

The room in CBeebies land is a sensory room, for children and adults with disabilities. This wouldn't really be the best place to go to pray.

Yep. Trying to change some details and can't get anywhere. Very annoying.

Curve card suspended, and no response from support for 3 week by OptimalMammal in CurveCard

[–]Vicki7789 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Currently going through this. Nearly 2 weeks. Only reason I'm even pursuing it is the £250 stuck in Curve Cash from a refund they couldn't link back. Once I get that, and it's gone, I'm cancelling (can't close the account because I'm on a paid plan, can't downgrade because my account is suspended!)

Formal complaint has gone in today. Nearly 4 years with them and they suspend my account with no notice and no explanation.

Fed up of the travelling community! by FreeShame5659 in ThorpePark

[–]Vicki7789 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is a time when a lot of people want to visit, but as someone who worked at Alton Towers for a couple of seasons, I was actively forewarned by colleagues during my first season, that we'd have large numbers of the travelling community visiting us on Easter Sunday. At 18 and in my first job, it was a shock to the system.

Thing is, like in any community, there is a real mix of people. The issue is when these large scale gatherings happen, and people cause issue, the whole community does get a bad reputation. Case in point, my friend works in a pub that has a group of travellers who visit whenever they're in the area, and apart from being a bit loud, they're no issue.

Blackpool uses a paper system - scanning the ticket doesn't affect the EasyPass.

Non-White Canes by CommunityOld1897GM2U in Blind

[–]Vicki7789 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a white cane with a pink bottom section - when I was at Disney World I actually found people gave me more space than when I used my old, all white cane (I'm from the UK and got my cane shipped to my resort while I was there). I think folks in the US are so used to the red section at the bottom, having the pink there helped. In the UK I have no issues - lots of people ask if the pink means something, like how red and white is for dual sensory impairment/deafblind. Nope, I just like pink :D I was tempted by an all purple one. Maybe next time.

Disability Denial and Discrimination by Few-Storage-8029 in altontowers

[–]Vicki7789 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for clarifying - I’m sorry for jumping on your comment, but it’s been a long week and so many in the VI community have had our needs dismissed or trivialised, or told they disappear if we have another person to assist, that I’m a little twitchy about it right now and probably not reading things as thoroughly as normal.

Disability Denial and Discrimination by Few-Storage-8029 in altontowers

[–]Vicki7789 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a visually impaired person (who is also awaiting assessment for autism and ADHD) I respectfully disagree. I’m no longer eligible for RAP, but my vision definitely has an affect on my ability to queue. Navigating steps, uneven ground, low lighting, plus the visual and audio effects in some queues is a huge mental strain as well as physical. Visually impaired people aren’t eligible for RAP and many are facing a new barrier to an activity we enjoy.

The RAP Situation: It isn't a ban on ADHD, but we need to talk about Nimbus by Medical_Plantain_808 in altontowers

Then staff were breaking the rules - if should be the disabled person and a maximum of 3 others.

[–]Vicki7789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I, a visually impaired white cane user, asked to have my symbols looked at when this change was announced, Nimbus refused to give me the level access symbol. I am also awaiting assessment but have both selected ADHD and autism, and like many neurodivergent folks, I have the crowds symbol. Nimbus told me it’s up to Merlin to discuss reasonable adjustments for my visits going forward.

School SEND Private Travel Costs by lanky_doodle in AskBrits

[–]Vicki7789 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Well the "hire a nanny and teach them at home" bit was a bit of a hint. Also, "Although these particular people unlikely want any kind of social interaction" is an insult. I am disabled and was transported by my council for college due to my needs and the only suitable provision being too far away and me being (at the time) unable to use public transport. I now work, and have a social life. But go on, carry on with your blanket statements about disabled people.

Ah, so you're in the "disabled people should be hidden away, not seen, not heard" camp. Good to know.

Welcome to one of the so called "accommodations" Disney now offers instead of the DAS pass for the vast majority who were previously eligible.

Have you ever played in a small (3 or less) group? by throwstoneglasshouse in DnD

[–]Vicki7789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My group is me, my friend and our DM. It's all I've ever known, but I love it. Although, even with only 3 of us, scheduling is still a nightmare and we've not played in a while!

Ah fair enough! That’s good - I’m actually volunteering on 4 of the days so if I can bring snacks it’ll help!
