I've been a passholder for about 4 years now and taken many trips down to WDW with my partner over the years. During that time, my dysautonomia and chronic fatigue symptoms have really ramped up. For the last few trips, I've managed by using my cane and taking many, many breaks throughout the day. Even doing that, though, I generally end up having a flair up a couple days after arriving and have difficulty enjoying the rest of the trip.
For our upcoming trip at the end of September, I finally broke down and will be taking a wheelchair. I'm stressing out a good bit since this will be my first time going and using a wheelchair. I'm also pretty self-conscious since I only really require it on a part-time basis. To be honest, I always worry that people will think I'm using it to get "special treatment" since I'm a young adult and only use it some of the time.
I would really appreciate some stories / tips on using a wheelchair part-time at WDW! Knowing what I'm getting into and what to expect will definitively help ease my mind, even just a bit!
