Yes they are-but that was just an eg. With your own you can just turn up anywhere-whip it out the boot-and hey presto you're ready to roll.

Thinking of Downtown Disney, a stroll around Hotel Boardwalk , City Walk etc.

We would of needed a bigger car to have our own....we always fill the boot with shopping whereever we go.....[:I]

I returned from a trip in November with me Ma, and we had no problems getting a chair at SeaWorld and we didn't arrive there til late morning/midday. As mentioned above though, it is hilly there and it nearly killed me off pushing her[msnoo][msnoo]

Apart from that we managed to get one at WalMart and also at the Florida Mall.

Ask for a Ford Crown Victoria Extra large trunk. Good for W/C & shopping ( Full size car).

Not heard of them Babe-are they Dollar cars?

Also are they saloon cars. Anything too high (like a people carrier) and I have to be lifted in-which is a pain if I want to go out with daughter and son in law while hubby does some villa maintainance.

we are going in may and have bought a powered scooter off e bay (£200) BA will take it both ways for f ree

also if you buy a wheelchair in uk and take it with you you'll find that youll ALL go to the f ront of the queue at the check in at the airport

thinking of starting a business with my dad called "Rent a biddy"!!

also you can hire wheelchaiars and motorised scooters from Randys Mobility (they haev a web site) they deliver to and collect from your villa cheaper than renting them day by day at parks

I've just had a guest enquiring about hiring a motorised wheelchair and now have some answers for him.

He also asked about a pool lift! He said that he has heard of these and that they can be hired in order to help him in and out of the pool. Anybody have any ideas on this one?

Hi Matt,

The link below is to Discount Mobility USA. They hire out hoyer lifts but don't think they're suitable for the pool. They may be able to advise where one for the pool can be hired from.

All the best
