I have problems with standing in line or with walking. Why did WDW suggest a wheelchair of ECV (motorized scooter)?
Disney calls these “Stamina or Endurance Concerns” and the official response is to suggest a wheelchair or ECV. If the person has problems with standing in line or with walking, a wheelchair/ECV would be a better solution than a GAC. A trip to WDW includes a lot more walking than just what you do in line. Even with a GAC, there may be no place to sit while in line and the distance walked is not usually less with a GAC than without one. Most of the lines where you will actually standing still for long periods are the lines for shows and movies. Because those ‘load’ large numbers of people at a time, people have to stand waiting for the next show to ‘load’. Having a Fastpass or a GAC won’t change that – if each show is 14 minutes, you are going to be somewhere for 14 minutes. In many shows, much of the time in that place will be a preshow area. (Link to a thread that explains this a bit more). With an ecv or wheelchair, you will always have a place to sit and can conserve energy for fun,
