Returning to WDW as 80 yr old

[Badger Karin]

We took my grandmother for the very first time when she was in her 80s. This was many years ago, in the late 90s. She was a very proud woman who would never ride in a wheelchair "in real life" but she did at WDW. We went to MK and EP, I think for two or three days.

She absolutely loved it. Kept saying how beautiful it all was (meaning not just physically but the people, everything). She became a kid again. She was a really tough woman, so watching her be all soft and childlike was memorable for all of us.

The one thing I would say is try not to going during the summer. It's really hot, and the heat can get to an older person.

I know that didn't answer your question but I thought I would share. I hope your trip is as special and magical as ours was!!!

Great story! Thanks for sharing

Rent from an offsite vendor, as others have said. Then you have the chiar all the time. there are a million people in all kinds of chairs, scooters etc. there.

I also suggest getting a wheelchair early. It will be a walk from your room to your car, then your car to the tram, then to the ferry, then off the ferry and up the hill to the MK entrance to where you rent a park wheelchair. There's a lot of walking before you even enter the park! You will also be able to use it around your resort, going to Disney Springs and anywhere else you may end up.
