Summary
A Reddit user had gradually stopped going out much because pushing a manual wheelchair got exhausting quickly. They got an electric wheelchair and found getting around much easier, took it to the park to test it and began planning activities again, including a possible trip to Disney the next month. They still use a wheelchair for outings, but say it feels nice to have something to look forward to.
