Question about rollaters in the park

[LONES]

I'm hoping someone might know the answer to this.... We are leaving for Disney next week, and my mother was recently diagnosed with 2 fractured vertebra. She thinks she will still be able to move around the parks with her rollater, but I am thinking we will likely end up renting an ECV in the parks. If we do that, will they hold her rollater at the rental facility until we return the ECV? Thanks!

I can't answer about the storage aspect but I would strongly encourage her to forgo the rollator and use an ECV, it will make her trip so much more enjoyable. My mother wouldn't even consider a wheelchair much less an ECV for many trips, one trip after about 2 days I could tell that she was simply pushing herself too hard and was not enjoying herself because she was in so much pain, I simply walked away from where she was standing to enter the MK, rented a w/c and walked back over to her, it didn't take her long to realize how much better she felt and how much more she could do. Fast forward a few more years and I took her along with my 3 yr old nephew - I rented an ECV which she was terrified of using but I told her I could not push a stroller and a wheelchair at the same time so she had to use it She has had back issues inc. fractures for many years including surgery to put in plates/screws to hold it all together and knows that there is no way a rollator will cut it for her now..........at least not without significant increase in pain and thus making her experience less enjoyable.

if not there I am almost sure first aid would hold it for you

Yes, they will hold rollater for you,they will tag it and take care of it for you

The park ECV and wheelchair rental has been reported to have held them before for people. They would be your best bet - make sure it is well marked - they will also tag it.

I think First Aid would be less likely to hold it. They have limited space and really need to use their space for things people will need for treatment in the park.
