Thanks for stopping by planDisney, David!
I suspect you're living the dream at
Walt Disney World Resort right now. If so, I hope every second has been magical! I can't think of a better way to celebrate a successful medical procedure than with a giant Mickey hug. That's the best medicine ever! Let's look at how
mobility services can help your visit "roll along" smoothly.
Wheelchair Rentals are located just inside each theme park entrance, and my tip is to rent yours for one length of your stay. You'll save a little money this way; I'd use the extra cash for a Mickey Pretzel! Your rental is transferrable between theme parks, so please hang onto your receipt if you plan to use the Park Hopper Option.
I chatted with a helpful Cast Member who recommended letting the rental location know you plan to spend some time at
Disney's Port Orleans Resort each afternoon. They can advise you of the best procedure to ensure you'll have a wheelchair waiting when you return later in the day. One option is to park the chair in a designated spot, such as near a stroller area before you head out for your break. Your wheelchair will have a nametag, so please leave that securely attached. You could also bring a colorful ribbon to distinguish your chair and make it festive!
A few months ago, my husband needed the
First Aid center at EPCOT, and we found it to be a convenient oasis staffed by caring Cast Members. If you feel tired or overheated, don't hesitate to head to First Aid so they can check you out. My husband relaxed on a cot until he felt better, and I was impressed with how professional and concerned they were. It gives me great comfort knowing these stations are available for guests.
David, I hope you make some magical memories on this visit. May the road be smooth sailing under your wheels! Please
stop by planDisney anytime.
Magic awaits,
Elaine
