I am trying to talk my father into going to Disney for a couple of days in the middle of winter (it has so far been a losing battle, since while I think he'd like it, he doesn't).
I think either EPCOT or AK would be most his style. He will emphatically not use a wheelchair or an ECV, and his stamina is pretty decent for an 83-year-old with a cane, so if we take it slowly and sit down a lot I think we'd be fine.
However, he has big issues with trying to step onto a moving surface (the cane is as much for stability as anything else), and I'm wondering if the handicapped line would be suitable. He isn't likely to want to go on a whole lot of stuff, but there are a couple of things that I'd hate him to miss (especially Spaceship Earth) because I'm afraid of getting him on safely.
