Loads of good advice on this thread for anyone who is preparing for a WDW trip, particularly for the first time. If I can say just a bit more…
Keep your fitness goals at home high, maybe to increase your distance by a mile a month.
Keep your expectations reasonable about how far your strength will carry you in crowded, and possibly hot conditions. It is so much better to see half of a park, and really enjoy it, than turn your day into a tortuous ordeal which can leave you unable to enjoy the following day(s).
Do not be afraid to change the course of your day, hopefully BEFORE you hit the wall, and let yourselves enjoy soaking your toes in your resort pool instead of pushing past your limits.
The suggestion to take turns with a scooter is solid gold, if it is a viable option. If you don’t want one for the duration of your trip, you can look into one for the day in any park. They can sell out. A day rental of a wheelchair is also an option. It does take extra energy to push, but some people find they actually like the stability it gives them. Again, if it is viable, you can take turns. It’s a great way to stay together.
Keep up the good work!
