Wheelchair Rental During EMH?

[carolinejay]

How early does the wheelchair rental in MK open? Me (24) and my mom are taking my grandparents (not permanently disabled, but definitely cannot walk a full day at the parks) next week for a couple days to WDW. We are all early risers and will be there for EMH, but we need to get them a wheelchair. Does wheelchair rental in the park open at 7am with EMH?

Thanks in advance!

Yes, wheelchair rental will be open as early as any guests are allowed through the gates (including for early ADRs), so you'll be fine getting one at early EMH. One note... it can be a hike to/from the front gates and transportation or the parking lot -- especially at MK -- so you might consider an offsite rental. You would also have that available to use around the resort as well, which often involves quite a bit of walking as well.

Enjoy your vacation!

Awesome, thanks so much. They can do some walking and are planning to trade off the wheelchair during the day. As long as they have a seat on the bus to the park they will be good to go. My grandpa actually likes to push the wheelchair because it gives him stability for walking, and my grandma has a questionable back and needs to rotate between walking and sitting. Should be an interesting trip with the senior citizens in tow!
