We're bringing my brother to WDW for 2 park days next month. He is physically capable of walking, but a wheelchair/stroller has proven invaluable in past trips as it provides him with a safe/comfortable bubble to exist in.
We're thinking about just renting a wheelchair at the parks, as he will be able to manage walking to/from transportation, and I think having a wheelchair on the bus, etc. will be more overwhelming for him than otherwise.
I see that the wheelchairs indicate first-come-first-serve. I assume they just say that as a precaution, but has anyone ever had an experience where they were unable to get one?
Also, any suggestions for a strap or seatbelt of some sort that could be used? I assume there is not one built into the WDW rental wheelchairs. He just does much better when he's self-contained and strapped in (by his own preference).
