A couple of weeks ago, I shared my very personal struggle with whether or not to rent a wheelchair
The rental process was simple and painless for me. I chose to rent from an off-site company, Walker Mobility
last column. It sure was a difficult decision for me to make and your comments, as well as the support of my family and friends, really helped me take this big bold step. I'm so glad I did.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I'm sure you've helped a lot of people in similar circumstances.

And you look great in red!
My mother has many physical issues as well and during our last family trip to Disneyland we were fortunate to find out that it was possible to rent a scooter from an offsite company. (Thanks to the Disneyland Hotel Concierge for that bit of info.)
This was her first time ever using a scooter to get around after resisting the initial suggestion, it turned out to be the best thing she could have done.
The concierge made all the calls and dealt with the paper work and the scooter was delivered to the bell desk. Once we were ready to leave we were able to leave the scooter at the bell desk and the company picked it up from there.
I can't for the life of me recall the name of the company though. But if you want to rent a scooter that can be used around the entire Disneyland Resort, you can probably ask the concierge at your hotel.
Wec, thanks! Red just happens to be my favorite color!
Asylim, thanks for sharing your story! I really believe that if more folks hear these positive experiences fewer people will be scared to rent a scooter. I was in absolute denial back in February until my cousins and husband pointed out exactly how worn out I had looked on that trip. It still took a few months for me to commit to renting the scooter, but like I was told when I had my gallbladder out a couple years ago...best thing I ever did!
