I am so lucky to have found this board. DH and I really want to take an adult vacation to Disney before we have children. DH has Complex Regional Pain Syndrome and cannot walk more than about 10 feet. We plan to go either in late October or next February.
We are going to rent an ECV while we are there. We are trying to decide whether to stay on or off-site. If we stay on-site we will stay at one of the resorts with monorail access (probably the Contemporary).
Is it necessary to have a rental car? How good is the Disney transportation during non-peak times of the year? DH has trouble sitting comfrotably for more than 2 hours or so, so we would be returning to the room several times per day. Anyone have a recommendation as to a particular resort?
If we stay off-site, we are considering one of the vacation homes with a pool since swimming makes him feel better. We would only go the parks for a few hours each day and to eat dinner each night. We would obviously need a rental car for this.
Can the ECV fit easily in a trunk or would I be better off with minivan like we have at home? I have no experience with ECV as he only has a manual wheelchair that I push because he has limited use of his hands and arms as well.
Thanks for being here!
