    We will be arriving Nov 27th for our very visit to WDW. My 11 yo dau fractured her ankle and is in a walking cast. Will she be able to ride most rides? Also do they rent wheelchairs on site or do I need to bring one? Thank you for the help!

    Hi Tanya!

    You will want to doctor to her doctor for specifics, but in general, she shouldn't have a problem enjoying most of the attractions with a walking cast.  You can definitely rent a wheelchair at t theme park; you can also rent them from an outside company in Orlando and have it delivered to your resort so that you'll have it the whole time.  Of course, that does make it slightly harder getting to a theme park in the first place (for example, you might have to wait for room on an accessible bus if there are guests with needs in front of you). -- there are pros and cons to both ways.

    You should also stop in Guest Services at the theme parks and pick up a Guest Assistance Card.  That will help you manage the parks and the attractions.

    Hope this helps!  Write back with more questions!
