wheelchairs

Does WDW have motorized wheelchairs or scooters? I broke my arm in a fall and my balance is off. If they don't, does anyone know where I get get one?
Thanks!

WDW does rent ECVs (motorized mobility scooters) and manual (push) wheelchairs at the parks.
There is information about renting from the parks and also from off-site rental places in the disABILITIES FAQs thread near the top of the thread list on this board (look for the green arrow). The companies that are listed are ones that have been used and recommended by DIS Board posters. You will not be able to rent a power (motorized) wheelchair; the parks don´t have them and the off-site places that rent them generally will only rent them to people with experience driving one - they are more difficult to drive than an ECV and take more practice.
many people choose to rent from one of the off-site places because you don´t have to take a chance of not having one, can also use it at the resort, and have a chance to get used to it since you will have the same one for your whole stay.
