park touring strategy for someone with weight and illness issues question

[bumbershoot]

Your number one option and best option is to rent an ECV (electrical scooter). They are convenient and fun to drive. Do NOT rent a wheel chair (someone has to push it..no fun for them) And don't try to do the walking. With a Disney trip the walking is considerable and if you are not used to it , I'm afraid you will not enjoy your trip as much as you could.

Yes yes yes absolutely YES.

Your brother will hurt himself trying to push you the whole trip. Wheelchairs aren't easy and the parks aren't perfectly flat.

Get the scooter. The Disabilities forum has a list of the companies.

The ride lines can be LONG. With your COPD that's going to be hard for you.

Yes I should have mentioned before... We used Apple scooters. Delivery, pickup and use all a breeze. My mom sprang for the more comfortable chair and thought it was worth it. I agree with pp that it is easier to park it and walk through the queue. The parks and resorts were very easy for her to navigate and even the buses. Some ride lines involved more turning, narrower lanes etc. just easier to park it.

Also be sure to check out the stickies on the Disabilities board if you haven't yet. Some great info there.

Great job on pushing yourself! You will appreciate it so much when you're in Disney. Everything is a walk there. Good luck and have a great trip!
