    Anyone visited WDW wearing a SI LOC Belt?

    ECVs and power wheelcahir are not jerky to ride if operated properly. I have been using one for over 5 years now and have not had trouble with them. The problem is that people don't take the time to learn how to operate one before they go off to the parks. Because of that controllers have...

    New Mainstream Cards; Mansion and Jungle Reminders...

    Steve I know you can not physically lift a person for good reason but are castmembers allowed to offer a steadying hand.

    Can I ask about Fibromyalgia here?

    Get the wheelchair if you need it. If you don't you will pay for it with a flare. I know I overdid a bit on my last trip and had to slow down the last couple of days. Fortunately I was pretty much just doing shows and watching the interpreters so it wasn't too bad. But I did everyone...

    wheelchair bound in WDW - is there a reference book?

    That book is practically worthless. It is far too grneralized and really tells you nothing of value.

    Do You Have a Tip for Somone Who has Never Done WDW (or other parks) handi?

    If you are hard of hearing or deaf use reflective captioning. Or the new handheld devices in MK and EPCOT. And contact Mark Jones for information on all types of deaf access issues. He is exceptional. So are the interpreters.

    Questions about transferring from a ECV to a manual wheelchair for rides when you are

    Except for a few rides you can take your ECV through the lines or use an alternative entrance. For those you will need to transfer to a maual wheelchair. Or you may be able to walk through the fastpass line. Getting power chair your size won't happen. They only rent those to people who...

    Questions about transferring from a ECV to a manual wheelchair for rides when you are

    I would suggest you rent from an outside provider and order a wheelcahir that will fit you or an ECV. This way you will save yourself the embarassment of not finding one that does fit.
