Manual wheelchair and queue exit/reentry

[voxparse]

Have any other manual wheelchair users figured out how to exit a queue reliably? I have other disabilities that can create a situation where I need to exit the line quickly but more often than not there are ECVs in the line and I can’t maneuver past them to exit.

Nobody? I guess I figured if I couldn’t figure it out it was likely there isn’t a good option but I was really hoping there was something I was missing.

Nope.

I had DAS for a condition unrelated to using a mobility device… in my case an ECV. When the changes were made to DAS, I no longer qualified. With an ECV there is no way out of a queue if I need to leave… I travel solo so it’s on me. My time in the parks has changed. I look for standby lines with wait times less than 15-20 minutes. I purchase LL from time to time, though unfortunately it’s an expense I cannot afford every day.

I can’t run the risk of being trapped.

Exactly the same concern here. I don’t have any particular issue waiting in line but I have to be able to exit in a timely fashion. Some queues are better than others. We also purchase LL to help but man it seems there isn’t a good answer for people who need to exit quickly and unexpectedly.

I hear ya!

I try to do early entry and extended evening hours but realistically at my age, 72, with physical challenges, this is the exception, not something I can ever rely on.

It is what it is, but I’m sad for us both. Keep thinking there has to be a better solution.
