My youngest DS tripped and fell when getting out of one of the buses. His knee was not damaged seriously but it was swollen and had a bruise and scrape. The Disney folks insisted on getting us a wheelchair so he rode around in it all day. But when we got to an attraction, I just parked the chair like you would a stroller and he walked (limped) in with us.
However, that evening at Fantastic, when we started up the slope to get in, the cast members put us in the wheelchair line. I kept telling them that he could walk, that it was a minor injury but they insisted that he stay in the chair and they made us sit in the handicapped area (really did MAKE us). I felt bad as people with much more obvious needs were seated around us. I still wonder if the Cast members had been told to take care of him since he had been injured on Disney property and they thought we might try to sue! Of course, I would never think do such a thing, it was just a kid tripping in his hurry to get going.
So anyone who saw us using a chair with a child that seemed perfectly alright, that was why.
