I'll admit that I wouldn't normally post in this forum, but I feel like maybe this is the best spot for my situation.
Earlier this year, I surprised my dad on his birthday with a trip to Walt Disney World for just the two of us! It will also be my birthday while we're there this summer, so we have lots to celebrate. He hasn't been to WDW since 2001, so I can't wait for him to see how much has changed in 20 years. He is in his mid-fifties and in generally good health; however, he does experience back pain often. Lately, he has been psyching himself out a bit with being able to get around the parks for four days (one park per day). I've told him it would be no issue for us to rent him a scooter if he decides he needs one while we're there. His fear is that he won't be able to keep up with all of the things I want to do and he will be letting me down. I've mentally prepared myself that this will be a different type of vacation for me. I'm focusing on things that will be important to him while planning on taking breaks throughout the day!
Does anyone have any advice that I could share with him? Or maybe some advice for me to make him feel at ease? Any tips?
Thanks in advance!
