OK, we have been planning this trip for a while for DMILs birthday and her first trip to DL. She has arthritis in her knees but she still gets around pretty well and will be getting a cortizone shot just before we go. BUT.... she also has begun getting recurring bouts of plantar fasciatis. It's alot like bone spurs in her foot only it has to do with the tendons. She just got back from a trip to Phili where she did alot of walking on tours. But I know it wasn't DL type walking. We are worried because current;y she is in a walking cast for 2 weeks. We leave in 4. AND she may have a relapse from all of the walking.
Now my question (Finally I know!) I know there are several Dissers who have family who needs scooters. I also saw where there is a company that will deliver to your hotel. We will be at the Desert Inn and they will let her keep it plugged in and charged.
Can anyone give me info on who what when where and how to make this easy?
 
DH and I just got back from a trip to DL. DH had just had knee surgery and could not walk more than a few feet. I did a little research on the disboards and decided to rent from Deckerts (714)542-5607. We stayed at a Disney hotel and they recommended Deckerts also. Had a great experience with them. The scooter was charged and waiting for us when we checked in. It worked great the whole time we were there. The only thing I would recommend is if you are going to be in the park most of the day, when you stop for a meal plug the scooter in to let it charge. We forgot to do this and it would start to lose its charge about 3/4 of the way through the day. Also stop at City hall in the park and they will give you a guide that tells the handicap entrances for the rides. I can't say enough what a live saver the ECV was. We almost cancelled the trip but decided to rent the ECV and just go for it. So glad we did. DH never would have been able to do a portion of the things we did with out it. Oh, and we paid $150.00 total for a 4 day rental.
