Hi all,
Thanks to all of the advice received on these boards my trip went along very well. Lines were practically nonexistant and Fast Pass is the greatest invention known to man. I did not wait more than 5 minutes to get on a single attraction, and used FP for a bunch of things. Everything was very accessible for me, but then again I can transfer and walk and step a little bit so that helped a lot, don't know how I would've gotten on some of the rides had I not been able to walk at all, RnR and the boats looked too low to be able to transfer onto easily for someone with no mobility. The patterned trails at AK looked very nice but sure did a number on my butt! My resort (I stayed offsite at the Sheraton World) was very accessible and our room was great. We weren't able to get a tag for handicapped parking with our rental car (license plate at home) but we asked the attendants at Disney and they let us park there anyway. I loved how the CMs could stop the car and give me much-needed extra time to get on the rides.
The only hitch to the trip, well it wasn't that bad because my DM's back was feeling real good and she decided I didn't absolutely need it so they in effect saved us $90, was that they wouldn't rent an ECV to us because I would be using it and I'm 17, so beware the person driving has to be 18, not just the person renting it.
