I have MS as well and my last trip (Feb 2013) was my first time going to Disney World since diagnosis. I do not use a mobility aid at home, except for the rare ocassion I need to take my cane out, but I did rent an ECV from Apple Scooters for our trip. It was 100% the perfect thing for me, I...

We were looking into the idea of purchasing an ECV for me since I do go to Disney about once a year, and other places, but I think for the moment its still probably cheaper to just rent from Apple. No I understand it wouldn't be safe to carry her that way, it was just a fleeting thought I had...

Thank you! Yes I learned that the hard way on our last trip, people just don't see you (or don't care) when you are in an ECV. Fortunately I didn't hit anyone but my dad wasn't so lucky when a woman walked in front of his scooter. I don't want to put anyone at risk so I won't use the carrier...

Thank you, those are points I hadn't considered! Definitely don't want to be a risk to my daughter or anyone else in the park. Its frustrating because I feel like I won't be as much help as I wish I could be with my daughter in the parks, in at least carrying her, etc.

My husband and I are planning a Disney World trip for the beginning of 2015, and will be bringing our daughter with us who will be approximately 6-7 months old at the time. (yes, I am still currently pregnant). I have Multiple Sclerosis and due to issues with fatigue, pain and leg weakness, I...

I want to thank everyone for their comments, advice, and encouragement! First off, Apple Scooters was GREAT and I had no problems with the company or the scooter I used. I recommend the Go Go Elite Traveler Plus scooter for first time ECV users and those who are concerned with maneuverability...

I was just diagnosed with MS a month ago, and went to Disney World about two weeks later (2/28-3/5). I have problem with numbness and tingling in my feet, leg weakness and limping, and also extreme sensitivity to heat. I would encourage you to consider renting an ECV. I do not know if you...

I used their smaller one, the Go Go Elite Traveler Plus, and LOVED IT. I used it all day in the parks and the battery indicator never even went down one tick. I charged it every night in our hotel room. You can take the battery charger with you if you are concerned, but after my first day I...

I used Apple Scooter on our last trip (2/28-3/5) and had no problems at all. I will definitely use them again!

thank you so much, this is very good advice!

Thank you for your response! I am traveling with my mom and MIL so I am hoping I will get some good bus drivers who can help me. I am getting a Solu-Medrol treatment literally 3 days before we go on this trip. Do you have any experience with this? I have no idea what to expect. I got it...

Thank you for your post! I have looked at the disABILITIES FAQs before and I plan on reading it again before our trip. Is there generally a CM in front of most attractions who will be able to direct me where to go? I am still waiting for my first IV steroid treatment, and at this rate I...

That is a good idea, my mom had mention it too, finding out which is the first stop for pickup. We will be at the Caribbean Beach Resort. I thought of two more questions for you! Have you ever been there when it was raining, what did you do with your ECV? Also, in your other comment you...

I am thinking the first stop will probably be our safest bet in the morning when we leave! We are staying at the Caribbean Beach Resort, the scooter will be at the bell services at the Custom House, so the internal bus trip will be my first one, good practice run! Thank you!

Thank you for your response! I am hoping I will luck out with a great driver our first day and they will be able to help me. We are arriving in the middle of the day on a Thursday, so hopefully the buses won't be too busy.

This is WONDERFUL advice, thank you so much! I saw your post on another thread and am so glad you posted here, I appreciate it! I am going to think if I have any other questions and will send you a PM. Thank you gain!

Hello, this is my first time posting to this board! I was recently diagnosed with MS, and currently have a hard time standing and walking for very long. We already had a trip planned to Disney World for 2/28-3/5 so I have decided to rent the Go-Go Elite Traveler Plus 3-Wheel ECV from Apple...
