Need help with Lodging for Disabled Father

[DisneyBrat]

I am so excited! My parents have decided to join us next Thanksgiving at WDW. Now the hard part if finding a place to stay. Which resort is the easiest to access? Dad can't walk very far and will have his scooter with him. Mom is wanting to try and walk without getting a scooter. I think im going to try and talk her into getting one for her sake. The Contemporary is one resort I know will be great. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Thanks,
Lew

any of the monorail resorts are great, especially if you plan to spend a lot of time at MK.

That is what I was thinking too. Do you know if there are any moderates that would be nice for him?

My father in law enjoys staying at Shades of Green. Someone in your party has to be in the military, or has been in the military, or spouse of....(Go to their website for the restrictions) The rates are based on the persons rank in the military.
We really enjoy staying there. It is not too crowded and easy for my father in law to get around in.

I stayed at the POLY with a scooter one year I had a disc problem. The large rooms and elevators were nice with an ECV. Disney is decidely disabled friendly everywhere, but if I were going to stay moderate I would go to POFQ because it is small with everything close together, the POR - next largest with a neat boat to DTD. I would not want to go to either of the others because they are so large and spead out. In fact of the deluxes, now that I think of it - BC might be great for him - everything is close including lots of restaurants and he could easily scoot over to Epcot by ECV and MGM by boat. You would only have to use buses for MK and AK.
