I'll be taking my 73 y/o mom for her first ever trip to WDW in about a week. She can walk some, but will be renting an ECV while we are there. I have a few questions: Thanks in advance!
1. Where are the best places to view each parade in an ECV and how close could I be to her? How soon should we get her in her spot?
2. How can I make sure we both get on the same bus?
3. How difficult is it to get the ECV onto the bus? or boat or monorail? Remember she is a newbie (even though she has been practicing with an ECV at Wal Mart) and I don't have a clue how to drive one.
4. Are there places to park the ECV while we go into restaraunts, shows, rides, on an Illuminations cruise, CP, etc?
5. She is also a brittle diabetic and will have snacks, insulin, and syringes with her. Is the basket on the ECV big enough to hold one of those little six pack size coolers?
6. I plan on waiting until the parks empty a little each night before leaving, but any suggestions on maneuvering in crowds. I'd hate to lose her. She isn't exactly senile, but panicks VERY easily and has absolutely no sense of direction.
7. As I said she can walk, but only for short distances and has a bad left knee and hip that gives out on her. (She has a really hard time supporting herself on that left leg.) What rides can be stopped so she can get on? Moving sidewalks scare her.
Thanks again! I can't wait to see WDW through her eyes!
