Leg scooter?

[wdwmickey]

Has anyone used a leg scooter while in WDW? If so how was the experience? Last trip I used a wheelchair (had DH with me) but am trying to think of alternatives for my "mommy & me" trip with DD. My arthritis is only in one ankle/foot at this time and I'm wondering if a leg scooter (where you prop up the bad leg and use the other one) would work. Thanks for any advice

I have seen people using them at the Parks, but have never talked to any user.

Someone posted about a knee scooter on this thread in 2006, but there have not been any other threads about using one that I know of.

Thanks for the link Sue! Do you happen to know if a rental ECV will fit in a standard room at POFQ? I'm thinking an ECV may be th way to go

I used a Roll-a-Bout last year. No problems.

I used a Roll-a-Bout last year. No problems.

Was it tiring? I have a terrible time with crutches (wouldn't even consider those for WDW) but I would like to be a bit more mobile than I was in the wheelchair, also DD wouldn't be able to push me. So I thought a roll-a-bout might be a great solution. Is it comparable to walking assisted? Thanks so much

Switch between a walker and the Roll-a-Bout. It's a lot less stressful on your muscles this way. (The First Aid Station will keep the one you're not using at that moment for you.)

The Roll-a-Bout does make it feel as if you're walking. It's better mentally for me.

Thanks for the info I was thinking I would prefer the roll-a-bout for my mental health too. I got tired of being invisible in my "princess coach" and my arthritis is much better now so I'd love to walk as much as possible!

I travel all over the country with my ECV and I've never had a problem with it fitting in any room we've had. People told me it wouldn't fit in our cabin on our last cruise but it did! You'll be fine.

Almost all ECVs are 19-24 inches wide. Standard room doors at WDW are 32 inches.
