MCO WestJet Question

[surfer_ed]

Anyone know how far Westjet wheechair service will take my mom when she lands in Orlando?

Long story but she booked her flight to arrive a different day than we are arriving. We live in different provinces and I usually arrange for her flight to intersect in Toronto but she is direct from Halifax. She does not walk far so I always get a wheelchair for her but now I am wondering if they will take her to the Magical Express?

Her luggage etc will go on its own to the resort but I am worried how I will get her to Magical Express.

HI I LOVE to help with this sort of thing and since i'm basically bouncing off the walls since we leave in less that 24 hrs (already checked for the flights) i have nothing much left to do. Here's stuff i cut & paste off the MCO site

How do I request assistance for elderly/minor/disabled passengers?
Skycaps are available to assist passengers. Typical services include curbside check-in, carrying baggage, wheelchair assistance, etc. Please contact your particular airline to arrange for assistance from its skycaps. It is customary to tip skycaps a few dollars for service provided.
How do I request a wheelchair?
If you require a wheelchair, please contact your airline in advance and they should be able to provide a wheelchair for your use within the airport.
And from the Westjet site:
If you need a little extra help getting around, we'd be happy to assist. Guests should advise WestJet that they require the use of a wheelchair online during their booking or by calling WestJet at 1-888-937-8538 (1-888-WESTJET).
Have a wonderful trip!!

Perfect, don't mind getting help from a skycap but not sure how to arrange. Will speak with Westjet.

Have a great trip

Yes, just contact Westjet by phone to request wheelchair assist at the gate. While I haven't used the service at MCO, I have used it at other airports. She will be asked to wait until the other passengers deplane, and the chair and Porter will be waiting at the jets door. They will take her anywhere in the airport she needs to go. And they will make a stop or 2 along the way if she wants to use the bathroom or buy something on her way out. They'll take her to the ME desk. Make sure she knows to tip the Porter. I usually tip $10.
