Cruising with Child with Mobility Issues

[sweetsue]

I've already posted this on the Disabilities board but they also suggested I try here since you all are such veteran cruisers!

I'm cruising in September with my DD4 who uses a walker to walk. For longer distances, I use a stroller although she does have a wheelchair. Our cabin is by the aft elevators.

How long is the wait for those elevators? Is it hard to get on? Will a stroller easily navigate the boat or should I bring a wheelchair instead? The stroller is a larger model (not quite as big as a jogging stroller, but still fairly large). Has anyone used Disney's strollers? What are they like? How do you get one? She's 4, so some regular strollers are too "short" for her.

Any ideas or help? We have a Cat 3 for the extra room (a regular one, not a handicapped one since we needed adjoining to a Cat 4), so space isn't quite as big of an issue.

Thanks much!

For a 4 y/o. you will not have any problems. I know a adult w/c, 20" seat width, fits down the hallways and elevators just fine. A little tight in a cat 5, but you should be fine in a cat 3 with a stroller. What type of stroller? A Convaid?
Still, for a 4 y/o you will not have any problems.
