My mom is in her 60's, she has a very bad back and a heart condition. The
last time we were at WDW with her was pre-pacemaker/defibrilator. Anyway,
we rented a regular wheelchair for her (off site so she'd have it for the
week). When she felt like walking, she got out and pushed the chair. At
times, my kids took turns pushing &/or riding in it. It was very convenient
for packages, too! It was a godsend for my mom, she otherwise would not
have been able to go thru the parks. Most of the time, we were escorted
thru a side handicapped entrance on the rides thus bypassing the long lines.
The only ride we were disappointed in doing that was the Haunted
Mansion...you don't go into the growing/shrinking room...they escort you
straight to the doombuggies.
