Okay, I haven't been on Dis in quite some time so please don't judge me if I'm not posting this correctly!
I'm leaving in a week and taking my mother who was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and has serious mobility issues. Knowing it would simply be impossible for her to walk the parks, we reserved a wheelchair for this trip. I kind of decided on the wheelchair vs the scooter because, honestly, it looks kind of scary getting those things on and off the buses... my mom isn't the best driver if you know what I mean!!
Now I'm starting to get a little nervous about being the "pusher" and also getting the wheelchair on and off the bus- can anyone give me their thoughts? I don't mind putting in the extra labor if the wheelchair is easier getting on and off the bus. This is all new to me...
Also, can someone please explain exactly what a GAC card is and if it's necessary or helpful to have and why? Any other helpful advice for this first timer??
Thank you guys!!
