Howdy guys, I just saw this over on allears.net and thought I'd share.

Very pro active of Disney to do this.

Thank. Looks like a good update of something they have been working at for a while.

I wonder if this device takes off if they're phase out those projection closed captioning thingies.

I saw that the other day as well and I think it looks wonderful. I would love to see them all over the parks and at the resorts as well.

I just saw this over on Allears as well. Should have known there'd already be a post on the Dis.

Anybody give it a try yet?? Article said availability starting today. We're there next weekend and I'm wondering if my MIL would like it.

blog mentions an aquatic wheelchair. Talks about Disney might have them available. Anyone know if rental places have them?

No one rents them as far as I know.
The Disney resorts that have zero entry pools do have aquatic wheelchairs for loan. They are meant to go right into the water and you can drive or push them down the ramp in the zero entry pool.
We were told that you need to ask at the pool. They do not leave them out usually so that kids don’t play with them.
I’ve got a picture someplace, but I don’t seem to have it posted online.
