Thank you. I hadn't actually thought about rides and the cane. That's a good point. I may just stick with my collapsible cane. I'm doing everything I can to keep from renting a scooter because I just don't want to have to mess with that. My knee feels okay right now as long as I keep the pressure off of it by using the cane. If it feels the way it does right now later in October then I'll be fine. I may still go ahead and get another cane at Disney just so I can use it at home and work.
LOL, you sound like my husband about using a scooter! He finally relented at Epcot and he loved it. He was able to actually enjoy Epcot without the pain of trying to walk it. He was resistent for a long time; it just wasn't for him. But since he tried it, he will use one when he needs it. The cane is a big help too, but an ECV really is convenient. He was worried about what people thought if he used one!!! Now he doesn't care, LOL.
As far as people commenting on this thread? I think that if you arent' interested in something, then you just ignore it. People at disney are pretty focused at rides, getting rides, going to rides, and their own interests. Not too many use canes that I noticed. Hope you have a great trip.
