Hey, there Carolyn and welcome to planDisney. I am probably the furthest panelist in the States from you as I am only half a mile from the Atlantic Ocean in New Jersey. By the end of my recommendations, we will be best pals and closer than ever.
Your trip sounds amazing to start. Two ladies coming to visit "The Most Magical Place on Earth" together sounds like a Minnie Mouse and Daisy Duck adventure in the making.
Wheelchair Rentals are available all over the
Walt Disney World Resort and all of the theme parks. There are length-of-stay rentals I usually recommend. However, you gals are on a one-day two-park mission and I love your style. I would actually recommend renting an
ECV these Electronic Conveyance Vehicles are available at all 4 theme parks. They are first come first serve basis so arriving early is important. These will allow you to zip around and enjoy both parks you decide to choose. I would say that the way to get the most out of your stay is the two parks that are most accessible to each other
EPCOT and
Magic Kingdom Park.
The Disneyland Monorail is a one-park loop, the monorail in Florida goes to these two theme parks. So they are just a quick trip away and always the way to park hop in my opinion. I would start my day at the
EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival as it is in full bloom during your visit. Some of the Outdoor Kitchens have the best plates with the freshest ingredients. Those festival booths always steal the show as I love to eat. You will definitely want to leave Magic Kingdom Park for the end of the night. You can begin to hop to your second park at 2 p.m. My favorite nighttime spectacular is back and is bringing back smiles and claiming tears once again.
Happily Ever After returning to the skies above
Cinderella Castle since the beginning of April and you won't want to miss that show.
I hope this information is helpful in setting up your one-day full of magic. Enjoy your stay and come on back to
planDisney.com if you have any other planning needs.
See ya real soon,
Jeremy A.
