Hi There
I have a very dear friend who is visiting Disney for the first time only for a couple of days, and her adult daughter has some mobility issues - she requires a walker. I found out they were going two days ago, and they are going over president's day weekend (just in a months time). They are staying on site for two nights, and only plan to do the MK one day. They are traveling with a niece and her 7 year old daughter.
Now, I believe they will rent a wheelchair or scooter (not exactly sure, but just due the the sheer distances that will make it a necessity?) and I want to ask - I am thinking its best to rent from an outside company so they have the wheelchair/scooter at the resort as well? Good plan?
I did read most of the stickys of information, and am trying to get a strong grasp on things that will help them on their trip - but I wondered if any of you could fast track us regarding the magic bands, and rides at the MK, any tips and tricks (can you give me any pertinent threads?)
I believe I understand that just having mobility issues will not allow you to get a DAC, that most of the lines have an accessibility line that is standby, is that correct for the Magic Kingdom? She can walk, but I don't think she will be able to stand for long periods of time, nor will she be able to walk for long distances.
Any help whatsoever will be highly appreciated - I don't have the time to do the kind of research I would want to do as they are leaving so soon. I want their experience at Disney to be so wonderful they will be wanting to go back again soon. Did I mention I don't think they have done disney?
Please show me some mercy! I am hoping to be adopted by a knowledgable disboarder or two (or three or four!) who can give me the ins and outs and things to be careful of so they have the best MK day ever.
Many thanks
