I had to rent a wheelchair for my DD when we went to Universal after she broke her ankle when she was 10 (2 days before we left on the trip). We did everything that we wanted to do and she didn't suffer for anything. We took her crutches so she could get onto rides. It was no issue. It was delivered to the resort and waiting for us upon arrival.
So you can use crutches to get on the rides? Really really good info! Thank you!
Rented a wheelchair for my Mom the last time we were at MK. Mom was hobbling in with a sore hip from the walking she did the previous 2 days. We rented a Disney wheelchair for her (I didn't want to spend for the ECV) and between me, my niece and nephew, we pushed her and by that evening, she wanted to push me. I told her to stay seated so she could walk the next day. Again, we did everything that we wanted to do.
Glad you could still enjoy your trip. Your mom’s a trooper!
I rented a scooter for my sister when we went to Washington, DC. The only issue we had with that is that it had a very short battery life. We learned that in the National Archives when she ran out of juice. After speaking to the company (and a threat to call American Express) they delivered a new battery to us and we kept moving.
One of my fears is running low on the battery, but your solution sounds like it worked!
The greatest thing about having a chair is that you can take bags with water bottles and no one has to carry them.
I’ve always been the “Sherpa” on our trips. Good to know nothing will change.
I hope you heal faster than you expect and that your trip is magical and that you have a great story about the time you went to Disney with your 2 bad legs.
