Injured foot need information

[galligan4]

Hello Everyone!

So we are due to be at Disney in 10 days.

Just injured my foot and I am now the proud owner of a boot!

Been trying to figure out damage control right now. I am thinking of renting a scooter for the trip but I have no idea what to rent. The scooter site states the amount of miles that the scooter's battery charge is good for is 9.5 miles. Is that enough for a day at the park? Does anyone recommend one rental place or scooter type over another?

Any input is welcomed!

You can get a lot of info on scooters over on the disAbilities board.

Last time my mom came with us, we rented from Apple Scooters. We were pleased with the service, and they are one of the preferred vendors, so we were able to pick it up and drop it off at bell services.

We charged it overnight and it lasted the whole day in the park - rope drop til close most days.

I'm in the same situation except my problem is my back. We are leaving in 7 days for disney and lately I have been having probs with my sciatica. The prob is I don't know when I am gonna have a good day or a bad. It's very frustrating. So I really need to rent a scooter from disney. I decided definitely renting a scooter for animal kingdom bc it's a lot of walking and going up and down hills I think that would just aggravate it more so then now. I also think I am gonna rent 1 for the Epcot days bc Epcot is huge. Specially world showcase. Good luck on your trip I have also heard apple scooters are very good as well.

Sorry for going slightly off topic here...But I too deal with sciatica frequently. I have found that extremely hot water or a heating pad helps. Try to take a soak in the jacuzzi once a day and that should help.

As for the foot. Its amazing what a mid day break with your foot elevated on the bed and you laying on the floor can do. Keep advil handy and don't forget to eat when you take it or else you will have stomach issues later.
