Hello!
We're using a scooter this trip for the first time; it's the only way my mom can return to WDW. While she CAN walk for some distances, she wouldn't be able to walk for very long at all so, rather than stop going to WDW we're renting a scooter. She's very nervous, but I'm trying to be reassuring; and it's up to me to do the bulk of research to set her mind at ease.
I want to be 10000% sure of what we're doing while there, so I've been reading up. I've got all our FP+ in place, and I understand that many rides we'll be able to scoot on through the regular line. I found on the DIS where they list the rides that have mainstream queues, but a lot of rides are missing. I was sitting here thinking of the different places I've seen wheelchair entrances and I'm just wondering: how do we get on Peter Pan? There's no way she can fit through that line if I'm remembering correctly, and we didn't get a FP+ for it.
Also, we have FP+ for HM - is there any way at all for us to go into the stretching room with her riding the ECV? I can't remember seeing an ECV in there before. I'm also a little confused about ToT; it says the line is mainstream, but I have NEVER seen an ECV in there before and I've been to the parks a ton - am I just not remembering?
There's also mention of a "wheelchair" area, first come first serve, for parades and shows; how long in advance should we show up? She's never seen the Festival of Fantasy parade but she DEFINITELY can't stand for that long. Same with MNSSHP; we have tickets and she loves the parade; will we be able to find a place to watch it without lining up for hours in advance? Does MNSSHP have a wheelchair area?
How about the single rider line on RnRC, TT, and EE?
I have so many questions but I'm reading up as much as I can. I'm nervous about the buses but for most of the trip we're staying at Beach Club so we can scoot to two parks! Any information would be GREAT!
(Also, editing to add one more: it says Splash is mainstreamed, but she can't do that many stairs - she could probably do up to five. How do we get on there?)
