My 11 year old daughter has a wheelchair for endurance reasons. She has been fighting an illness for the past year and this is our first vacation since she’s been diagnosed and our first trip to universal for all of us. All 3 of my kids are hardcore HP fans.
She has made INCREDIBLE progress just in the last 2.5 months. She’s a tough cookie and has a lot of pride.
We are staying at Portafino (club level) in early November. We talked to her about the physical demand this trip can take on her and have talked her into bringing her wheelchair just in case. She really hates the wheelchair because, to her, it’s admitting defeat. I was truly surprised she easily agreed that she should bring the chair.
The problem is, she may not need it the whole time, but we don’t get much warning when her body is DONE. She gets what she calls “spaghetti legs” and literally falls to the ground if we don’t catch her.
So we need to bring the chair into the park, but she will NOT ride in it until she NEEDS it. Is there possibly a place we can park the chair in the park until she needs it? Even something like at MK where you can park it at Snow White and knock out all of the Fantasyland rides?
TIA!
