ecv

We will be taking ECV on a cruise for my daughter’s wedding and I’m so worried about people being mean. How do you handle it? I’ve had people say some mean things like fat shaming and look it’s a miracle when I parked it and walked into a restaurant. I can walk but not far. I am overweight but...

Hello all! Planning a trip for my family for December. I'm disabled due to a left leg amputation in Feb 2022. I'm hoping to rent a powerchair instead of a scooter due to balance issues (leaning forward all day to reach the controls isn't something I can do!). I haven't had any luck yet due to my...

Our family previously used the DAS program when visiting. I don't think we'll qualify under the revised criteria so I'm investigating touring strategies to see if we can make another trip work. We'll purchase LLMP and will have an ECV or power wheelchair. My question is: which standby queues...

Is it feasible to have an electric scooter at OKW with an upstairs condo? It's too late to get a guaranteed accessible / 1st floor Grand Villa for January. I can climb stairs and walk a fair distance. I just need a scooter because I can't walk the distances required in the Parks and other...

We are heading to Disney (staying on property) with only 1 day in the parks. My husband should be fine without a scooter for the rest of the trip since we can go back to the room and he can rest periodically but in the park, he will definitely need a scooter. We are flying in so will need our...

I am planning ahead for a trip to Disneyland/California Adventure for May 2023, and I have some questions. First, some information. My group is 8 people, 6 of which will need ECVs. We are larger, but I believe everyone is about or under 350lbs, We are staying in a rented house about 1.5 miles...

I'm planning a 5-day ticket trip to Disneyland with my family. We are a group of 8, and most of us have mobility issues. We will be in Anaheim for 8 full days (not counting travel days, flying in). Auntie is unable to walk more than a few steps. She will need her own ECV for sure. Family...

Last week (march '22) I tried a variety of Mears provided transportation options. First was from MCO to the Adventura Hotel at Universal (branded as Superstar Shuttle) and run 100% by MEARS. There's some room for improvement regarding actually finding the place to check in! I did get a text...

Hello! How is everyone’s experience renting an ecv from gold mobility scooters? Are we able to drop off each day and pick back up in the morning or do we have to take it with us? We won’t be staying on site so this may be an issue for us.

What is ECV availability like at Universal? I am planning on being there as close to opening as possible, but am worried about them running out of ECVs if we are delayed by traffic/parking. We are not staying nearby and only need ECV for this one day. Am I overthinking it?

Hi, there DIS People! For the past few years, I have had to use an ECV to tour the parks. Pre-pandemic, I flew to MCO rented a car and had an ECV delivered to my on-site hotel. Now in the post-pandemic world, or at least for the foreseeable future, I will be driving to Orlando. I am no...

Hi. I've been reading about and viewing the posts about getting tickets for this ride. It seems that tickets are only available for a short period early in the morning. No problem understanding that. My question is how to get from the resort, Grand Floridian in my case, to Hollywood Studios at...

So I'm starting to plan a WDW trip in 2020 and everything I "know" about planning I have to change. I need help! Background: I've gone to WDW 3 times in the past. Each time we stayed at the Pop Century and had the dining plan. We find that the one QS and one TS plan worked the best for us. It...

On my trip a couple years ago, I got great front row seating in the Fast Pass section with my ECV at Rivers of Light, and I was wondering if Fantasmic has any similar close up seating for ECV's and wheelchairs. Last time I went to Fantasmic with an ECV, I was put behind the main section, and...

This is one version of the sign above bus seats that fold to make a wheelchair/ECV seating area. Guests sitting there will be asked to move if the space is needed for a guest with a wheelchair or ECV. There are 2-3 spaces on each bus that can accommodate a wheelchair or ECV.

bus stop at Epcot with added area for guests with wheelchairs

This sign along with a painted rectangle was at OKW bus stops on 4/4/11

As of Oct. 1, 2010, within the next 6 months all resorts will have the painted box for sizing purposes. The box dimensions are 30X48. Your device must fit in the box in a normal configuration, turning the front wheels is not a normal configuration. To use a lift style bus, the device and rider...

We have seen people using this sccooter in the parks. It appears to have a very comfortable seat, but is much bigger than other scooters.
