We're off for our 3rd visit in December.
Dh relies on using a mobility scooter (ecv), he has limited mobility in his legs and weak upperbody/arms.
We stay on site and he has coped with having wheelchair accessible rooms with a tub (hadn't been able to get a room with a roll in shower), and I've helped in so he can have a shower.
We couldn't book the room we wanted for the full length of our stay in December so we are having 7 nights wheelchair accessible with roll in shower and then 4 nights wheelchair accessible with tub (different resort).
If landing at MCO and want to use the Magic Express let them know in advance that you need the coach with the wheelchair lift.
DH used the buses on site and felt safe with them, drove up in his mobility scooter and was secured in. He was asked a few times to transfer to a normal seat by the driver but he simply explained he couldn't do it and they accepted that.
He has managed some of the rides in Disney, have a look at the rides that you would like to go on and see what the information is for accessibility. I think for all shows he was able tostay in the scooter, some rides he needed to transfer into a manual wheelchair and went on the ride in that, other rides he had a go at getting on, some were successful and others not.
