I have an accessible room so doors are wider, walk in shower with seat, enough room to turn a scooter/power chair around in etc....

Disney states if you need a wheelchair you must bring your own. Of course they have them available for emergencies/sick bay.

If you can manage a Pride Victory, then I should be able to manage with my Pride Revo which is smaller than the Victory.

I thought about renting a go go which is even smaller or a travel power chair.

Not sure how much I will need the scooter but am thinking to conserve energy will use it as much as possible. Will be taking my crutches and Rollite wheeled walker too. To go into some ports you must tender, and depending on certain things I can't take the scooter. So can use the wheeled walker which has a seat. I don't plan to do much in the ports like excursions per sa. But I want to at least step foot there to just say I have been there <G>.

Disney has been great so far in offering guidance, assistance, etc... and keep telling me not to worry just bring what I need.

I did have to submit a medical form showing that I needed an accessible room. It didn't require a diagnosis, just info like mobility difficulties, allergies to foods, contact numbers for doctors if were needed.

Really Disney has and is going overboard to assure me that everything will work out, and to assure I will have a Magical time.

I am taking my Pal Mickey, his wardrobe is better than mine LOL. There are several of us going with Pal Mickey so should be fun getting photo ops.

maybe you and dave will get down here again someday and we will scoot around Epcot <G>
