Hi Andrea, We went to Disney World in Oct. I rented a scooter from Randy's mobility for $150 a week with the coupon on the Internet. They drop off at hotel and pick up., It saves chancing a rental at the parks. The buses are accessable for the scooters, and break down to take in a car. One with a canopy is great too, the sun and heat can overwhelm.

We did not find the availbility to goo to the front of any lones in Oct. They were acomadated for the wheelchairs and scooters and you waited as everyone else. There were a few instances an alternative enterance was available not generally though. When the heat was overwhelming, we were able to get her inside a bit faster but, she had to wait anyway.

Universal often allowed her use of the express lanes, but NOT ISland of Adventures. The one Dr. Suez land ride a choo choo type, was long upholl and extremly hot that day....then we found out that only if you can't transfer from wheelchair they will take you up an elevator.... I was furious as my daughter was so overwhelmed by the uphill hot wait, when we could have utilized the elevator...Even the cat in the hat ride, instead of allowing to go in the exit to wait, a near hour wait in the heat with so many people happened the first day. The second day I demanded some accomadation as the day before she got on two attrations and it was too much, she was ill from heat and the wait in super long and very warm, muggy lines.

Get a water bottle with a spray, take a cooler, with water bottles, and power bars.
A handicap room on site at Disney is closer to the main building and pools, also on the lower floor. It has a refridgerator and more room. We had a connecting room for four of us and no extra charge.

Stop at Main street Town Hall on the way into the Magic Kingdom to get a brochure to have a list of alternative ride entrances for wheelchair access if any.
Stop by Aid stations during the day to cool off have gatorade, and any meds can be taken or kept there. They are very kind and helpful if you run into problems.
The rides were no problem, and the pain levels down.

When we went in Oct there was record heatwave.
we are going with the sons family in Oct again.

Have fun
Dianne
Good luck
