mobility issues advice wanted

[shaun michsel]

Hi Everyone,

≈

I am after some advice regarding getting around Disney whilst disabled, we are going next july as a group of 9 and staying in a villa for 3 weeks. My wife has fibromyalgia as well as osteoarthritis and will likely find the distances she will need to walk a struggle, what options are there either within the parks or any external companies that you can rent mobility scooters from to use whilst there, thanks in advance

Hi, look in the special needs section, loads of info there on scooter rental etc and ways to make holiday easier. X

I have Fibro and honestly find it much easier in Florida as cold and damp set me off
I've had holidays while recovering from a flare used a wheel chair but was unable to self propel it's just too much to,expect a pRty member to push you in heat
A scooter is the way to go if hiring get one withna canopy for July keeps the sun off allows you to drape a poncho over in th rain etc
I usecRands mobility they deliver to villas pick up and can access the parks in the event of a break down
Fibro specific hydration hydration is the key good sun screen
Plan an early start day early finish followed buy late start Then a pool day may be shopping eating out
I'd say one large car and defiantly a small car for you to leave the parks if need be
And getba temp Florida parking permit if you have a blue badge here
And I can't stress enough assistance at the airport that sometimes Two
Hour plus que at the airport after a long flight used to bring me to my knees before we had global entry

I gave Charcot fort and arthritis in my hip so cannot walk distances.
I rent a powered wheelchair, these are available from quite a few rental companies
Ones I have used are
Walker mobility
Buena vista rentals
