Wheelchair users and their families...

[andeesings]

I'll be in Disney in little less than a week, and it's the first time were going with my extended family (there are 13 of us!). The purpose of this trip is to go as a family, and we will be staying together as a family the whole trip. We are very excited!

Here is my question. On Saturday my cousin wore RIDICULOUS shoes to a wedding and gave herself a stress fracture. She's in a boot, and we're gonna have to push her in a wheelchair for the trip. She can walk, but she won't be able to handle that much walking and is super slow. But what happens for the rides? We've never been in this situation before. Is the size of our party a problem? Should she just stand on the lines with us and we will just push her for the bulk of the walking? Can anyone help? This is suddenly a big stress for everyone and I figured I would ask you lovely people!

They will limit the size of the group to 5 plus the person in the chair when using alternative entrances. Most lines though are mainstreamed, meaning that everyone uses the same line. If the line is not mainstreamed and it is important that the group stays together, then your cousin will have to walk the regular line.

An idea that would be easier on everyone is instead of a wheelchair, I suggest a scooter. You can rent one off site for about $150 for a week at Apple Scooters.

There is also a FAQ's section at the top of this forum that has all sorts of answers for most any question that you may have. The forum Moderator Sue, does a great job keeping everything up to date.
