Visiting Angels for Senior Citizen at Disney?

[alj1208]

Hi...

We are considering taking an elderly aunt (Age 83) with us for our multi-generational trip to Disney World. We may need some help with her and are considering hiring a caregiver from Visiting Angels to go to the parks with us.

Our aunt is mobile but tires easily. She really wants to go on the trip and would feel badly if left behind. We are bringing a wheelchair, and we are all willing to help, but we think it might be good to have an extra set of hands to push the chair, get her lunch, stay with her if we go on a ride she can't do or even take her back to the hotel. Has anyone done this? What was your experience like?

It sounds like a great idea to me, as long as your aunt is okay with it.

My 10-yr-old dd and I are going to DW this December and we're bring my 82-yr-old mother. We'll have an electric wheelchair for her. she has a lot of health problems, and very limited mobility. I've also thought an extra pair of hands would be really helpful.
