Hello,
I'm relatively inexperienced in flying with my mother, who requires wheelchair assistance at the airports.
Last time I took her to WDW was several years ago, and we ran into trouble on our return trip. I could't find a way to have a wheelchair available at the point we got off Disney's Magical Express. I think -- but dont remember exactly -- that Disney told me their services stopped at the DME disembarking point. At that time, she could walk to the airline check-in, but even then it was extremely difficult for her.
I'm planning a trip next summer for her 80th, and I need to make sure she has assistance the entire time we're in the airport (I even felt like we were taking advantage last time when we landed, using the airline wheelchair all the way to MDE).
How do you handle what seem to me to be gaps in wheelchair availability? Your advice and expertise are greatly appreciated!
