Just Back 2/1/09 ECV-Pooh Size-Trans Info

Hi All,
Just wanted to drop a note as we just returned yesterday and hopefuly can help some with some worries about these issues...Ok first off 5'7" and 330 (pooh tummy and elephant butt and thighs). Fit easily into the seat and belts of every single ride at Disney including Soarin and Space Mtn and R&R. I can't remember any belt that didn't have slack and some even had 10 inches of slack.

Used and ECV and Disney transportation and they were ALL very nice and friendly and always ready to pick us up. You board first and get off last. No on had any attitude. All CM were nice and friendly too.

If you have any questions than I can answer I'll be glad to try.

Thanks for the feedback. Glad to hear you had a good, trouble free trip.

I'm also just back and hope you don't mind if I add an observation. A common complaint on these boards is about the army of ECVs taking over the parks and the notion that people are using them simply for convenience. Well....at both the Disney and Universal parks I saw so few other people on ECVs that I actually felt like the oddball sometimes. A few times I was stopped by people using wheelchairs to ask where they could rent one. And a few times I was simply stared at as if I was an unusual sight. Of course the sparkly iridescent Tinkerbell pinwheels and pompoms attached to the handlebars and the pink bicycle horn may have had something to do with that. Usually a toot on the horn made them smile and I was on my way.

I agree sometimes I felt like the lone ranger in the stroller brigade!
