We found out via metrocentre's website that you had to go to the disney store. We were told to queue, with our severly disabled son with extreme challenging behaviour. For him to give up the queue to line all the toys up.
We asked if there was any provision for disability...NOTHING.
However I have been on the phone to them, not to complain but to see how I can make this more accessible to him...to find unless I queue overnight there's not much else to do. I was also told all the wrong information at the metrocentre today!!!!
I was also told there are going to be plenty of NT children very upset when they don't get to meet Mickey. I'm sorry but NT kids even toddlers can be reasoned with and redirected but your sld child can't.
Now he won't stop asking for the campervan and this will go on until he gets to see it. It's bad enough getting him in the metrocentre never mind now needing to see the campervan every time we go.

So they have Mickey there, massive queues, and a load of kids that aren't even going to get to meet him? Due to time constraints I guess?

Poor you sounds a nightmare.

We were going to go to the one in Brum but might give it a miss

Apparently there have been hundreds of complaints from parents of disabled kids whose needs don't allow them to queue!!!
The least they could of done was counted where abouts in the queue we would of been and work out a time to come back. At least behaviour etc wouldn't be off the wall and taking it out on the other poor kids.
If you are going I would advise queueing before opening. There was a queue of 250 before 9am, including us!!!
Not a nightmare as such just planned badly for everyone!!

We are getting the campervan but Mickey won't be appearing - Whats the point then

That's dreadful!! I'm genuinely shocked by that, you'd think someone would have had some sense wouldn't you and allowed you to come back?

Well that's made my mind up, we're not going. Thank you so much for the head's up. You have saved me and dd and d niece much queuing angst
