for the folks complaining about people who "don't need" a wheelchair because they can walk. i echo the "keep it to yourself because you don't really know" crowd. about 2 years ago, i ended up severely breaking my ankle, requiring emergency surgery and a plate and screws in the ankle. i was not allowed to put any weight on it for 8 weeks. well, we had a disney trip booked and paid for about 10 weeks after my injury. so, after only 2 weeks of physical therapy walking and speaking with my physician before deciding to go, i rented a scooter, with plans on transferring to a wheelchair for rides when needed because i was in condition to be walking more than a few steps or standing. my doctor said, if it wasn't walking more than a few steps, i didn't need the "moon boot" and could wear regular shoes. I also had a temporary handicap parking placard. I'm in my 30s. the first day in the parks, i wore a normal shoe. for anyone seeing me driving past on the scooter, I got all kinds of dirty looks and more than one comment, never directed to me but always near me, about people "abusing the system" or "abusing the handicap parking." I had to explain to more than one CM at rides requiring a transfer that, yes, I really did need that wheelchair. We'd also try to request tables near the restaurant door, where the scooter couldn't go in, and that usually took some explaining. Anyone who saw me transfer or taking those few steps then completely understood, but anyone who saw a visibly healthy 30-something, wearing normal shoes, driving around a scooter, did not. after that first day, I ended up wearing the boot to "justify" the scooter and the need for a wheelchair and, surprise surprise, the looks and the comments and the questions stopped. at the end of the day, enjoy YOUR vacation and stop worrying about what everyone else is doing. if someone is really abusing the system, hope that karma will get them and move on. life is way too short and, these days, if you can afford the price of admission, you're fortunate. so enjoy it.
