Hi there,
I've been searching and browsing this forum a bit but can't quite find what I need. A member of our party has had both knees replaced in recent years and we're trying to figure how to best help her navigate the parks for the first time since having those surgeries. Stairs can be difficult as can getting into and out of lower seats. She plans to rent an ECV but she's also trying to get herself ready for a lot of walking. But when she does a lot of walking, stairs can become super difficult.
She's trying to figure out how far her knees need to be able to bend in order to get in and out of certain rides. I'm picturing Space Mountain as one that might be a bit more difficult. What do we do when we approach a queue? How do we know which queues will have stairs so that we speak up with enough notice? As I understand, her mobility issues won't qualify for any sort of DAS, correct? She might not always be using the ECV (she is a bit resistant) so she might not always be "obvious" to a CM.
Can you advise, please? Thanks in advance!
