We are planning a trip for late May/early June and I'm having trouble wrapping my head around our situation. Our 14 year old son has a condition that makes his stamina very poor, on top of which he's had a full spinal fusion for Scoliosis, which makes standing in one place hard for him. He also tends to get lightheaded due to his blood pressure medicine (he has normal blood pressure so the med makes it very low sometimes). I assume these conditions won't qualify for a DAS since they're mostly stamina related.
We are not really wanting him to have an ECV because he has no mobility problems except for him getting tired easily. Besides, finding someone to rent to him with his age is not really possible. We don't want to push him around in a wheelchair all day, nor do we want to have to push around an empty wheelchair. Thought about a rollerator since it's lighter but we really still don't feel as it's appropriate for our specific needs either. Is it possible to just carry a small chair around (very small, like a stick chair) for him to use while we're waiting in lines.
Is it also true that Disney has removed a lot of their benches? We were planning on sitting with him for rest periods if needed. Thanks for any help. I'm overwhelmed.
