We will be there in mid-December--me, dh, kids, plus my parents (side note: it will be my parents' first-ever time there!! We are so excited for them to experience everything ).
My mom recently had cancer. She is cancer-free now but will still be in the midst of chemo while on the trip. We are planning on frequent rest breaks and just kind of taking our time, going about it at a more leisurely pace, etc. She is hoping that she'll feel fine but is wondering about the amount of walking. Even with the frequent breaks there may be times that an ECV would really help her conserve her energy. Here is our question though: is it necessary to rent one ahead of time or will we be okay taking our chances in the parks? She definitely doesn't foresee the need for an ECV all day, every day---but maybe there will be certain times when it would be helpful (and she may not even know ahead of time when those times may hit her), if that makes sense.
Does anyone have any experience with being in the parks and getting an ECV when they all of the sudden realize they need one? I hope this all makes sense. This is 100% new territory for all of us and we really don't know how the ECV rentals work (we never even had to think about this before!). Thanks for bearing with me on this !
