Hello everyone.
We're two weeks out from out trip, and my wife just severely injured her ankle. We know we'll need a wheelchair to get around. We're trying to decide on a manual versus a transport wheel chair.

She should be able to walk short distances, so I'm hoping for something that we can fold up and bring on the buses fairly easily (we're using all Disney transportation).
So for us the trade-off seems to be this - transport wheelchair looks smaller, lighter and easier to carry on the bus - but also likely less comfortable for being in all day long.
But honestly we have no idea, as we've never had to use one before.
Though I'm not looking forward to this extra wrinkle in our trip, I will say that (as I'm sure many of you know) even this small taste of disability has been eye opening.
Any insights would be appreciated.
