I'm coming to Disney World for the first time soon. I'm super excited but also a little worried.
I have Cerebral Palsy which affects my mobility. I don't normally use a wheelchair at home and havn't really decided what's best for me at Disney. My main worry though is the queues. I understand that the generally for mobility issues you don't need a GAC. As all the queues are wheelchair accessible. However my problem is I can't remain standing or sitting still for longer then 15 minutes or so. I need to be able to move and walk around otherwise it is very painful and I become very stiff to the point of not being able to walk at all. So you can see why even sat in a wheelchair a very long queue is gong to be impossible for me. =( There are some attractions I'm going to have to miss out completely simply because they require you to sit too long.
At my local theme-park there is a virtual queuing system for disabled people and this works great as it means I can walk and stretch as needed and sit when I need to. I really have to have a good balance of both walking and sitting to stay comfortable! Is there anything Disney can do for me or will I simply be told to use a wheelchair in the queues which won't help. I understand talking about it on the boards isn't always possible so feel free to PM me.
Also is it the same system at universal?
