Well, it looks like I will have to use a wc this time we are down there. We are going down this Sat. morning, Jan 2nd. I won't have to use the whole time, so will rent at each park. I can walk, and might not always look like it, but have some real problems with my knee that hasn't gotten better and I just won't be able to do all the miles of walking that getting around disney entails. Wearing a knee brace will help some but not enough. I've been advised it'd be best to try to wc some of the time, and though I hate doing this and feel embarassed even, I know I really wouldn't make it. And, I don't want cancel our trip, either. So, I plan to get a wc when going to the park and use it for when I'd be doing lots of walking, but then park it and do regular lines, waiting, or park it to shop or go in the restaurants. I've also got a cane to help. I know people will probably be making comments and all which will be awful, so I'll have to try to ignore them. I'll avoid that on the buses by just renting at the parks. This will all kind of spread out the walking and the riding, too.
But, I was wondering about parking the wc. Where can I do this while shopping or doing rides(by the strollers?), and restaurants? Also, where do I go for parades and wishes, etc. Do I have to go to a special place or can I watch from anywhere on the parade route such as main street? This is all so last minute for me, I've been hoping to avoid this but that's not happening. Can anyone help with any quick answers? Btw, I do not want to do an ECV, for one the cost is so much more, but also I don't want to drive it, etc. I do still have to tell my DD too, so hopefully she'll be okay with it. She is used to pushing her friend in a wc so she at least has some experience with this.
Thanks to any who can help with any info!
