what the best resort if you have limited moblilty?

[Kleese]

This is the first trip since my health problems so we will not be going to the parks from morning till night. Would like a nice place to relax and enjoy when not at the parks and maybe just have a resort day. What do y'all suggest?

I'd probably do a monorail resort, specifically CR for the ease of access.

Glad you've joined us over here! Have you decided to use only cane or will you be looking into other mobility devices as well?

I think you received some good options on your other thread. POFQ would be the best mod choice, due to its size. Any mod or deluxe resort would be fine if you have an ecv or wheelchair. You can also request a main floor room or one close to the elevator/ lobby/ food court ( depending on your needs).

Think I may rent a chair for my bad days and try to just use my cane for the easier days. Going to plan on spreading out the days so we can take our time and enjoy everything. Thanks for all the help. Still don't know where we'll lay our heads but we have plenty of good options and tons of time to choose.

Wheels do take some getting used to, so if you get a chance to try out a set I would recommend it. Will you be self propelling or will someone be pushing you?

If self propelling then as much working out as you can safely do with your back, shoulders, and arms will help a good deal. If being pushed just be sure the pusher is aware that endurance and paying close attention in crowds are both vital. My sweet husband pushes me every once in awhile so I can have an arm break for a minute, but he can't see in 3d and is an awful judge of distance, and I have to be hyper vigilant to keep from being rammed into people. Consequently I choose to wheel myself most of the time.

The cane will be handy for walking and for transferring to and from rides. I have to use crutches for this, but can't walk more than a few steps with them.

Going to plan on spreading out the days so we can take our time and enjoy everything.

Good plan!

Still don't know where we'll lay our heads but we have plenty of good options and tons of time to choose.

What is most important to you in resort? For us it was accessibility, swimming pools, lots of restraunts to choose from, monorail, and modern decor. If you know your list, it may be easier for those with knowledge (not me lol- I've only been to 2 resorts) to help you choose!

CR is my favorite, but any monorail resort is wonderful. They are expensive though so we don't typically stay at a deluxe. We loved BC/YC because it was so close to Epcot and seemed easy to go over there for dinners - loved that. However it's a long walk. POFQ is the most compact resort and one of my favorites. If you're on an upper floor (in any of the moderates I'd guess) you may have to go the extra distance to find an elevator.

All of them seem to have a lot of walking though - or distance to cover to get from A to B - however you are getting there...lol!
