My daughter will be in WDW from late June to Christmas on an Academic Exchange Program, and while I will definitely be travelling there at some point (late September perhaps), I've been dreading the mobility issue. I have very mild cerebral palsy (that's not actually the problem, believe it or not). Last summer I developed Bone Marrow Edema in my left ankle, and it's driving me insane. Some days I have absolutely no problems with it, and other days (like today) I struggle. Since the purpose of my trip will be primarily to visit with my daughter, I will likely only go into the parks one day and spend the rest at a Disney resort.
I definitely think that I will need to rent an ECV for the park day, and depending upon the resort, perhaps even to get around there (I love POR but it is very spread out). I haven't used one yet, but hopefully I'll be a fast learner! So....recommendations on which resort? I'm leaving it a bit late as it is, so I'm not sure what my options will be. Should I just ask for a room closer to the main restaurants and pool/s and forego having the scooter for resort-only days, or get an accessible room in which to have the scooter so it is always available?
I'm not sure I'm explaining this very clearly, but I've always been able to walk when I've been at WDW, and having to consider a mobility issue is new to me. Any and all thoughts are welcome!
