I need some advise... Here is our situation: we are leaving in a few weeks for and land/sea trip with my parents, my family, and my sister. My mother has a lung problem and can't walk long and sometimes has a hard time even talking. She normally doesn't use a wheelchair however she does qualify and use handicap parking when needed. Here is my main question: a friend has offered to lend her a companion chair which apparently will need someone to push her at all times. Another friend has told her not to bring the companion chair, but to rent a wheel chair at the parks. My concerns on that are not having a wheel chair to use at the Dolphin, DTD, airport, cruise, etc. Plus why pay when we can use one for free? My father is concerned that if we bring our own chair it will not be allowed on the Disney Cruise. Which I can't get out of his head! Can anyone expereinced offer advise on this situation? Also, being our first trip with a physically challenged person, what other tips can you give us? I asked my parents to rent an EVC, since I feel my huband will do the majority of the pushing over the 4 days at the parks and it may be too much for him.
I have learned so much on these boards and my family will apprecaite and advise and tips you can give us!
Thanks,
Jeanne
