We will be in Disney in two months. My dad just had knee surgery and his other knee is bad. We will most likely get a wheelchair just to be safe so he doesn’t have to walk all day.
I’ve read that you just take your wheelchair in the line, then when you get to the ride they will take it to the exit for you. Just clarifying that is correct. Not sure if we will be taking it in the lines or not since he can walk. If not, can we just park it with stroller parking or is it better to just keep him in it through the line?
My other question is which rides you can just stay in the wheelchair. I see Jungle Cruise says you can, but not Pirates or Small World. I could’ve sworn that I’ve seen boats at SW that accommodate wheelchairs. Not sure about Pirates though. I don’t think he’d be able to ride Pirates or SW if he can’t stay in the chair because you go pretty far down in the seat, and it’ll be hard to get out.
The only other rides I see there being a little issue are rides like buzz, haunted mansion, Peter Pan, and nemo that have a moving walkway. I don’t necessarily think it’ll be a problem getting in/out, I just see more an issue after you get off and go from the moving walkway to the solid ground as you kind of have extra momentum going forward.
Any help with my questions or tips for a first time in a wheelchair are greatly appreciated.
