Best resort for traveling

[Ellen aka Snow White]

with a young lady(Wendy) in wheelchair and an infant baby? Wendy can walk for short periods but due to a disease she will not be able to "do" Disney without a chair. The family is concerned if she gets tired in the parks and wants to go back to the resort alone, what is the easiest resort to get to. Thanks.

Ellen, click on the link in my signature for some great information.

Most of the onsite resorts are good, it really depends on your budget and tastes. Which park interests your group the most? Epcot? MGM? Magic Kingdom? Animal Kingdom? Will you be driving or using Disney Transportation? will you be spending lots of time in the room, or need kitchen facilities? Or do you plan to be out most of the time? All these are considerations you must take into account. My persoanl favorite is Old Key West because you can park right next to the room and we drive. Others love the Boardwalk Villas, Yacht and Beach Club, and Swan/Dolphin because you can walk or roll to Epcot. All the onsite hotels have accessible rooms and transportation service.

If your party plans to split up, you should consider taking cell phones or renting the two-way radios that work over long distances.

Feel free to ask questions!

Keep in mind, too that she can go to First Aid in any of the parks to rest. They have cots and are dim and quiet. If she will be recharged with a fairly short rest, she might find it's less tiring to go there.
Otherwise, like teri mentioned, look for a place close to the park you will be going to most. If she will need to spend a great deal of time in the room, OKW is really nice because it feels more "homey" than "hotely" and if you have a one or two bedroom unit, she can rest while others are using the living room or kitchen area.
