Hi, Everyone!
We'll be vacationing with my 81 year-old Granny at the end of March/beginning of April. She is looking forward to it despite the fact her favorite ride, IASW, is down for rehab. I heard it's scheduled to open March 18, but I haven't said anything because I don't want to get her hopes up if it doesn't pan out. We're all excited she's joining us as there will ten members of my family at WDW for vacation!
She can walk around the house, the supermarket, and the mall fine enough, albeit slowly and with a lot of effort. However, a theme park for hours at a time will just be too much for her to walk. So, we'll be getting her a wheelchair for the parks.
Anyway, this will be our first time dealing with wheelchair rentals and navigating the theme parks with a wheelchair or ECV(?). Is there any pointers some fellow DIS'ers have gained from their experiences that they'd be willing to pass on to me, please?
It's going to be mobbed as it is the week after Easter and I just would like to know what there is to know ahead of time. I'd like this vacation to go as smoothly as possible so that we all can enjoy being with each other in Walt Disney World!
Thanks!
