I don't know anything, but:
Focus on what she can do, not what she can't. "Oh this will be relaxing since we won't be go go going this trip."
Prioritize what rides/activities she wants.
Definitely rent a wheelchair....if she complains then tell her "The choice here is one day w/o a wheelchair and then you are too wiped out to do much else, or nicely paced days in a wheelchair that you can do all week."
She will probably feel like she can do more the first day than she should...you don't want her to use up all her "Spoons" in one day.
Also do a couple of park days then a rest day...that is what our family does and we don't have any mobility issues.
Not sure if heat/sunburn/dehydration exacerbate Fibro, so keep her hydrated and cool.
