Hello,

My Disney trip is sadly, a long way off, but planning for it is half the fun :love: The last time I was there was way back in 2004, I was in in my late 20's and had no mobility issues back then. I have spinal stenosis and RA, so walking much really isn't an option for me, I know I'll need a wheelchair the majority of the time. My biggest concern is standing in line, after a few minutes that will be nearly impossible. Are you allowed to take something to sit on while waiting in line? Obviously, I know you can't take a folding chair (that would be nice), but something smaller, like those little stick seats? I don't know the name, I'm not even sure it would even work, but I'd really like to figure this out so I can better understand what to expect.

You might want to bring a cane with you. An ECV makes the parks very doable. I only use one at WDW and though it is an added cost, it saves my energy to enjoy the day rather than struggle to get from point A to B all day long. Do what you have to do to enjoy yourself. It is your life and your trip so ENJOY!
 

Is the person who will push your wc used to pushing you in a wc? If not you should get an ECV. WDW is a lot of walking (and not all flat looking at you AK) and over a multi day trip a person not used to pushing a wc can easily injure themselves.
