Doing Fantasmic but would like NOT to take ECV into stadium...?

[karensi]

Hi, We will be going to see Fantasmic on our upcoming trip and I will be using the Disney rented ECV.
I use it because I'm a slow walker and tire out before the rest of my family. I really don't want to bring the ECV into the stadium as I'd like to sit with the rest of my family, probably up a little higher in the stadium.
I'm just a little leery about where to leave the scooter outside of Fantasmic since I've sometimes left it outside of a ride/attraction only to come out and find it's been moved and then I panic because I can't find it. So with Fantasmic I'd like to be sure I do the right thing and leave the scooter someplace where it won't be moved by a CM. Any suggestions?

TIA

Stroller parking. But it's a lonnngggg walk, and difficult in the exiting crowd. When you take the ECV into the stadium, one person sits next to you and the rest in the row directly ahead.

It is a very fair walk to Fantasmic I would take the ECV with you and ask the CM where you can park it my guess is that at the back there is a fairly wide walkway you could park it there

The Fantasmic theater has handicapped seating along the top rows of the main seating area.
The very back row is spaces for guests using wheelchairs/ mobility devices to park. Each space has one seat for a companion and space for the rest of the group/family to sit in the rows ahead. Those rows are also used for people with disabilities who can’t go down the stadium steps.

You can bring the ECV into the stadium area and choose NOT to sit on it during the show. Since there are limited numbers of mobility spaces, guests who can and want to transfer are encouraged to. That saves the spaces for guests who are not able to transfer.
When entering into the area, guests using mobility devices are directed to stay to one side; just follow the directions and once you get close to the seating area, let the CM know you would like to transfer to a theater seat. You will be shown where to park the ECV and will be directed to seats in one of the top few rows.
Your ECV should be in the same place after the show - they are not usually moved much once you park because of the crowds.
After the show is over, we usually stay put for a while to let the majority of the crowd get out before we move. Much easier that way.

Thanks so much. I was thinking of parking it outside of the theatre since I didn't know that I could actually park/leave it in a spot once I got nearer to the theatre.
Perfect!!
Thanks to all

every time we have done this show we have come in one way but sent out a different way so I would not know how without walking all the way around to where you go in how you would be able to leave and get your ECV. also the 2 rows in front of handicapped if I remember right are handicapped and their families. because of walking with a cane CMs placed me in a handicapped space with family of seven seated in front of me in the 2 rows just in front of me at the top of theater. they did not want me on the steps because of cane
