from my understanding, you can go to the guest relations office at every park, show some prove (like Doctors orders) and hopefully they will accommodate you.

From my understanding, Guest Services will give you passes to accommodate your need, nothing more and nothing less. If you need a pass to avoid lines, they will note that you cannot stand on lines on the special accommodations pass. This does not mean that you automatically go to the head of the line. In many cases, they will do the same as for folks in wheelchairs when they can't be mainstreamed in the regular queue. You get a return pass with a time approximately the same as the Fastpass return (for Fastpass attractions), and you can go straight on at that time. With my father-in-law, who did ride in an ECV, we got that treatment at several attractions. Go to Guest Services at hte park entrance and ask what sort of accommodations are available.
As far as some of the comments by others on this thread, wheelchairs are NOT required for special accommodations. There are many maladies that do not require wheelchairs or any other visible form of aid. For example, for those with children with ADHD, passes to avoid lines are also available. Please do not assume that all handicaps (or restrictions) are visible. Disney recognizes that fact, and will make reasonable accommodation for anyone that needs it. Also, bear in mind that wheelchairs are mainstreamed into the regular queue in more and more attractions.
That said, I'd recommend to rpgman that he rent a wheelchair or ECV due to the tremendous amounts of walking involved in any of the four parks. Further, I'd recommend making use of Fastpass, as well. When with relatives who are using wheelchairs or ECVs, we use Fastpass when available, and only use the special accommodations for wheelchair guests when Fastpass is not available.
