Hi all. My first post here! My mom and I will be heading to Disney in October. We just booked the trip this week on a whim. We have never been to Disney before. We are so excited! The reason for the trip is that my mom has had a double lung transplant! We never thought she would be able to go to Disney with her lung issues but now she can! Our whole lives have changed for the better. That being said, she is a million times more able now but can still tire easily, especially with long Disney days. She doesn't want to miss out so we were thinking of a wheelchair (we pushed her in one before her transplant.) Was thinking of pushing the wheelchair throughout the park, could always put out backpack on it and when she needed it she could sit and I could push. So I have some questions..
1) We will be flying in from NJ. Should I rent a wheelchair from a third party place or rent one through Disney? Do they usually run out?
2) When we show up at Disney with a wheelchair will there be any issues? Will we have to show proof that she needs one?
3) We don't need any special disability assistance like the scheduled wait time. We just need the wheel chair for the long walks. Can we just leave the wheelchair with the strollers in stroller parking? Also if we park it there what is the likelihood of it being stolen?
4) Or should we bring it with us through the line? Is that even allowed? The ones I was looking out were easily collapsible so they just could be collapsed in half.
Any response will be very much appreciated. Thank you!!
