Portable Collapsable Stool in the parks allowed

[corlando60]

Does anyone know if these allowed? I found this on Amazon. My husband is going though cancer treatment and is not able to stand up for long periods of time. It would be great if he could bring one and sit on it as we move through a line. Ive never seen anyone use one so Im assuming it's not allowed. I know the ECV is an option but he really doesn't want to use one. Just curious if anyone knows the rules. Here is an Amazon link for what I am talking about : https://a.co/d/4lpvxDj

This question pops occasionally. I believe the collapsible stool would be considered a "folding chair" which are prohibited. However, has he considered a "cane seat" which is now allowed? It's a cane (so considered a mobility device) and opens out into a tripod stool (usually, though there are some different models).

Oh I will look into that. That may be even better. Thank you

Speaking of using a cane in the park, what do you do with the cane, when you're riding rides? I haven't been to the parks, since I've been forced to use a cane most days.

It depends on the ride. If the ride doesn’t let you take it with you, then the CMs make sure the cane is in the area where the ride unloads. Staff are very helpful, they’ll help retrieve it if/when necessary.

I think a rollator may be more useful in the lines for a quick sit down stand up situation.

I really like the idea of the cane seat. For my husband is it perfect. I found one that called a Ta-Da Chair walking stick/cane. its also very light weight.

I thought cane seats weren’t allowed.

There was a rule change awhile ago.

Yes, the rule changed last spring. Disney even calls them out as an allowed disability tool.

Good to know. While I realize rollators are a great option, my dad will be on a scooter and some rides (especially those with moving platforms) may require him to walk some, but taking a rollator on a scooter is difficult. The scooter does hold a cane easily. So, I was considering the Ta-Da cane chair for him. It says it's about 2lbs, does your husband agree?

I was surprised that he was all for the Ta-Da chair when I suggested it. Too proud to admit that he really needs it - lol. But yes I saw that it was a little over 2 lbs. They are not the cheapest of the cane chair but seem to be a better quality than most. We are getting the Series 1 Pro on Amazon. I think the Series 2 is built more sturdy and will hold more weight but its sort of bulky and the Series 1 will work for him. I also think getting the tallest cane option will make it easier to stand up from. Just my thoughts.
