Greetings and Salutations! My family of four is seriously considering taking a Disney Cruise (probably Fall 2017 time frame) but we've also never done anything like this and it has us all nervous. One of our main concerns is for my Mentally and Physically disabled sister. For the cruise we believe she'd spend nearly all of her time in her wheelchair. It's big and clunky (And Purple!) but can be broken down to fit inside of the average car trunk if absolutely necessary (it's not fun and takes about two minutes to break down or put pack together).
There's a multitude of questions, I'm not sure where to start.
I suppose first things first: Is it worth trying to get a wheelchair accessible room? We're concerned that the shower might be "roll in" and her wheelchair isn't waterproof, she takes baths, so a "shower only" situation would complicate things for us.
Also does anyone happen to know how wide the door frames are? We can get the wheelchair through the average bedroom door frame but there is some maneuvering in the process.
I was able to get some information but it was all specific to the Fantasy and Dream and since we're unsure which cruise we'll end up with, we'd like to have all our bases covered.
Also: My sister as epilepsy and so strobe lights make us nervous. Should we be concerned about the Pirate Party or any of the other shows/events?
Thank you all in advance for any help/tips you might be able to give me.
