First Time Using Mobility Scooter - Disneyland

[disneymum58]

My trip in September will be my first time using a mobility scooter. I think I have DCA figured out but I'm not sure how things work at Disneyland. I know I can request a return time, but what is the procedure for each ride when returning? Is there a guide that explains this? I can walk short distances.
I like to be at the rope for rope drop. Should I re-evaluate doing this? I envision myself trying to move among those "running" to their first attraction.

You should be fine in a scooter at rope drop. Just be cautious of those around you.

Some attractions will give you a return time, others you just go in the normal line. Always talk to the cast member at the entrance and they will guide you. Haunted Mansion, It's a Small World, Mickey & Minnies all had us going in the regular line. I assume Rise & Millenium Falcon would as well but we didn't go on those. Most Attractions will have you go through the exit to board the attraction.

Apologies if sounds silly but practice 'driving' in quiet/open areas before entering busy park queue lines or walkways. Every scooter has different stopping distances and turning radius (even those from Disney that look identical) due to many factors like battery charge, weight, etc.

Curbs and train tracks along Main Street important to keep extra eye on too.

I rented one when I sprained my ankle a few years ago. They're pretty easy to navigate. Biggest thing to watch for is all the people who will come to a sudden dead stop right in front of you, or run across the path right in front of you.

Just ask at each attraction what the process is. They'll either tell you where and when to return (time linked to your ticket) or they'll tell you if you can go in through the regular line.
