    Can I bring a cane stool to the parks? My husband has an issue where he can't stand for long. He needs to sit down. His problem allows a cane. Thanks!

    Hi Melissa! Welcome back to planDisney, and thank you so much for remembering to visit us for advice, recommendations, and insights from fellow Disney Guests. I’m glad to hear that you're already considering the accessibility options for your husband, as Walt Disney World is known for being incredibly accommodating to Guests with mobility needs. I highly recommend checking out the Services for Guests with Mobility Disabilities page on the Walt Disney World website to get a full picture of all the resources available during your visit.

    To answer your question, yes, cane stools are permitted in the parks, so your husband should have no issue bringing one along. These mobility aids can be a lifesaver for those needing to rest while standing in line or waiting around the parks. Disney is very understanding in situations like this, so there’s no need to worry about bringing it with you.

    Additionally, Melissa, another option to consider is renting an Electric Conveyance Vehicle (ECV) or a scooter. This can be a great solution for your husband, especially if you plan on spending long days in the parks. You can rent an ECV at all four theme parks and Disney Springs. Many Guests find that having access to an ECV allows them to navigate the parks more comfortably without putting too much strain on their legs or back.

    As you continue planning your visit, feel free to reach out if you need any additional tips, like Lightning Lane Multi Pass strategies or dining recommendations. I also recommend staying at a Disney Resorts Collection hotel if you haven’t already booked one. The complimentary transportation options make getting to and from the parks a breeze, especially when accommodating specific mobility needs.

    I’m always here to help and make sure your trip is as magical as possible!
