We show up, run the whole visit on Mike’s power chair, and score the five things that decide a day out in LA.
Every venue gets the same five checks, scored 1 to 5, with notes on what we ran into during the visit. When a place earns five dots, it earned them with wheels on the ground.
We look for ADA spots, how close they sit to the entrance, and whether staff can point you to them.
We check for step-free ways in, ramp grades, elevators, and how much room a power chair has once you are inside.
We note how staff handle access questions, seating swaps, and the curveballs that come up mid-visit.
We confirm there are accessible stalls and grab bars, and that you can reach them without a detour through the kitchen.
We check counter heights, table clearance, and whether food and drinks sit within easy reach from a chair.
Angel Stadium went through the full five checks. Two more spots are up next, and every new card goes out to the newsletter first.
We got tickets by chance and ended up at the wackiest baseball show around. The Savannah Bananas are the Harlem Globetrotters of baseball, with choreographed dances, players on stilts, and blazing-fast rules. We caught them at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, about an hour from LA and close to Disneyland.

This one is beyond recommended, and it went straight onto our wheelchair accessible day trip list.
Angel Stadium is massive, so leave by the same route you came in. We took a different exit, nearly got stuck, and only the breaks in the parking dividers let us slip through to the car.
We rate nothing from a website, so each one gets a visit first.
We found a wheelchair accessible brunch spot in Belmont Shore, and the fried French toast is worth yolking about. The full score card is in the works.
Santa Monica Pier is an LA classic that deserves the full five-check treatment. We rate nothing from a website, so the pier gets an in-person visit before it gets a single dot.
Score cards, access notes, and the outings behind them, newest first.
The Harlem Globetrotters of baseball came to Anaheim, and we ran the whole stadium on Mike’s power chair, from ADA parking to the top-level ramps.
Fried French toast worth yolking about. The full score card is in the works, and the short version is a yes.
Every place we review in person gets the same five checks, on Mike’s power chair. This is the system.
The events page carries the LA nights we have already rolled through and the ones we are checking next.
New score cards land there first.
