I'm taking my 78-year-young dad to WDW for his first trip in November! He is in good health, but has arthritic knees. We'll be staying at All-Stars Music. I was originally planning on renting a personal convenience vehicle - if I'm calling them by their correct name! - at the parks each day to eliminate as much walking as possible, but I am now considering renting one for our entire stay from an outside medical equipment company. (They would deliver it to the resort for him.)
Has anyone had any experience with this? I've never stayed at ASM before, so I don't know how much walking we'd be doing from our room to the bus stops, food court, etc. I don't think Dad would have trouble walking from the bus stops at the parks to the entrances, but if ASM is really spread out, maybe it would be too much for him. I'm also worried about availability of the vehicles at the parks. We will be there several weeks before Thanksgiving, and I don't know what the crowds will be like. If I rent a vehicle from an outside company, are most Disney buses equipped to handle transporting it to the parks?
Help!
