Need a mobility strategy

[mevelandry]

Hello friends!

DH and I decided to make of our next Land & Sea trip a family trip and will bring my FIL and MIL with us. They are both over 65 yo and my FIL has problems with his knees.

It's going to be just one park day at Magic Kingdom for us. We already planned to make a good use of FP+ and take long meals at Table Service restaurants... However, I'm afraid that it's still going to be hard on my FIL's knees.

If my FIL is not okay, I was wondering if there was wheelchairs that we could borrow or rent last minute? (Please take note that we do not wish to rent a scooter, for your own safety LOL).

When you do attractions and rides, how do you deal with the wheelchair? Does somebody move it on the other side for you so you can pick it up after the ride?

Any other tips regarding mobility would be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

As you enter the parks, there is a wheelchair rental place. I want to say its around $15 for the day.

Almost all the rides are wheelchair accessible now. If they aren't, the castmember will give you instructions about a return time. I use an ECV and its really easy for a someone in a wheelchair to get around.
