So we leave in less than a wk and Mom my just got diagnosed with a bone spur on her toe. She plans on walking but I wanted info. on how & where to rent a wheelchair or motorized scooter @ the last minute just in case
Regarding scooter delivery - ibcrazie4dizney is correct about Walker being able to deliver to non-Disney resorts, but a change occurred at Disney owned resorts. On November 1, 2012, WDW started a 'Preferred Vendor' where only those vendors are allowed to deliver ahead of time and have the guest leave the scooter/wheelchair to pick up from the resort.on two of our trips, we used walker mobility. they delivered scooter to our non-Disney resort before our arrival. we used it all week and left it at our hotel when we left. they break down and go in the trunk of rental car/suv. before using them, my dad had trouble getting into the park to rent scooter. we had handicap tag and parked in handicap. they would have a few, I mean only a few if any, wheel chairs in the parking lot. so he many times had to walk from the handicap lot into the park, which was too far for him. so we loved having scooter for the entire trip, so he had use of it anywhere he went and didn't have to go thru rental process each day.
Sounds like Apple will be a good option if she'd need it
Thanks everyone. She still say she doesn't think she'll need anyone. She has been getting acupuncture and says it helps. DD4 did step on the toe today.
Acupuncture is awesome. It worked for me for almost a year. I got 2-3 days of pain relief, barring any accidents/falls/vindictive women with strollers (only happened once), but I've wandered off topic. Sorry.
Personally, I'm pretty stubborn, so I think I can understand why she doesn't want to use one. The good news is that she can always change her mind. I'd perhaps remind her that the average person walks 8-12 miles at WDW.
I hope you have a wonderful trip.
My husband is very pooh sized, has back issues, leg edema, and at times nasty cellulitis in his lower legs. We have a trip to WDW planned and leave in 2 weeks. As to help him be more comfortable and better enjoy our trip I would like to rent him a scooter for the week we will be there. We are staying at the Coronado Springs Resort. My first question is what would be a good company to rent from? What can I expect to pay for the week? And finally do you just take these in your room with you when you are at the hotel? Just kind of cram them in the room? Are compact sizes available?
Thanks for any info!!
