Jeff,
Thank you so much for all the information and pictures on your experience with "The Dream".
It took a little convincing to get DH to agree to use a scooter on our upcoming trip to WDW and Disney Cruise. He was in a wheelchair for 10+ years and has had 2 major operations in the last year and after surgery and rehab has parked his wheelchair for good. However he still doesn't have the stamina he would need for this trip and all the walking it would involve.
Luckily, I found "The Dream" and his eyes lit up!
He definitely loved the "Harley" look to it and said it wouldn't make him feel as tho he was back in a wheelchair. (he's gone thru a lot to get out of it)
Anyway, after booking it, I started reading some of the comments about it and was getting quite worried that it would cause a lot of problems.
After reading your comments and seeing the pictures posted here, my mind is more at ease.
I think for someone experienced with driving a scooter/power chair and who is larger, this scooter is worth the possible bus that might be full or a broken lift or the odd crabby driver. (he's had YEARS of dealing with crap like that)
He's a big guy so a more compact scooter wouldn't be as comfortable as this one obviously is (or as fun).
I'll definitely post about our experience when we get back.
One month from today and we leave!
