Hello DisBoards!
My family is in the very early stages of planning a multi-generation trip to Disney World over Christmas/New Years 2018. We are: My immediate family of myself, DH, 3 kids who will be 9, 6 & 4. My mother-in-law (74 with some long walking issues), and SIL's family of her, her dh and 2 kids ages 12 & 7. SIL has mobility issues and says she will need a motorized scooter.
So... DH has a dream of staying at the Grand Floridian. We know this is the most expensive resort and are of course willing to consider other options. He thinks staying on the monorail is a huge asset. I'm considering whether it makes more sense to stay off-site, rent a big van (or 2 cars) and have a little more flexibility. We also plan to visit Universal for maybe 2-3 days, because the older kids are very into Harry Potter.
Any tips or advice for hotels and ways to get around? We've been to WDW with our kids twice - stayed at Polynesian once and PO Riverside the second time. Definitely preferred Poly especially for the ease of getting around (kids we 21 mos and 4 and I was 6 mos pregnant) but we managed with the busses at POR alright as well. My concern is adding a motorized scooter is going to make it even more difficult.
Help!!
