Hi Cynthia!
Thanks for your question. I have an adult son with
special needs and we never visit Walt Disney World without a
wheelchair. Even though he can walk, it is difficult for him to go long distances or stand for too long. It is a perfect solution. Also, don't forget to go to
Guest Services when you arrive and request a
Disabilities Access Service Card. This will allow him, and your group, to receive a return time (based on current wait times) for a
Ride or Attraction of your choice. Once you have finished there, you can go to a kiosk in the Parks to request a time for a second
Ride or Attraction. It's awesome!
If your child is small, you might consider using a
stroller for him. If you do this, you can also request a
Stroller as Wheelchair tag to attach to the stroller which will allow him to stay in the stroller until the very last possible minute when waiting in line. It's a great way to keep him rested and make the entire experience even more fun.
Thanks for stopping by. Best wishes for a magical Walt Disney World visit. Have a wonderful day!
