For our upcoming trip, my parents want to get a beach wheelchair for my grandma for CC, plus we are going twice there. how much are they are for rent and does anyone like to show a pic?

I believe they are free on a first come first serve basic. They are sand wheelchairs that have very fat wheels. Sorry i don't have a picture.

Yes, the wheelchairs are free and you can find them sitting along the walkway to the beaches from the ship. (Broke my leg shortly before a DCL cruise and was on crutches). We didn't see a lot of wheelchairs, but I'm sure that Disney would have enough wheelchairs to meet any need -- after all, it is Disney!!! They do have HUGE wheels and are a little difficult to navigate across the sand, but not that bad. Have a great cruise!

Forgot to mention -- I called DCL prior to the cruise and asked if they had courtesy wheelchairs on the ship. They said no but gave me the name of a company in Canaveral who delivers to the ship. Worked out fine -- the wheelchair was waiting for me when we got to the terminal. This was 4 or 5 years ago so I'm not sure if DCL has their own wheelchairs now or not.

We requested one onboard for DMIL who had complications in the midst of our cruise. DCL does now have wheelchairs onboard and they set one aside for us for the following day. Guest services even said it "was a nice one". Turns out DMIL was not feeling up to leaving the stateroom at all that day so I never got to actually see it, but they do have them onboard now.
