Question about ECV and GAC

[staceyhzoo]

Thanks in advance!
We are going to DW in Oct. My dd has a sensory processing disorder and we use a GAC to use her stroller as a wheelchair and also to keep her away from tight spaces while waiting. My mom has finally decided to join us for the last 4 days of our trip! She will be using an ECV. Will we have any issues using both her ECV and my dd's stroller. Mom won't need it for rides just moving in the park.
Also, where is the best place to rent ECV? I am hesitant to rent from DW since they can't guarentee one. It will make the room a little tight at night, but we'll manage!
I'm so happy she's coming too!!

You will be fine using both the stroller as wheelchair and ECV.

If you check out the FAQs at the top of the page, you will see several companies that were recommended by posters here on the boards. If you call them, rather than making an online reservation, they will ask for the height and weight of the person using the ECV and they will suggest a model that will fit best.

I strongly suggest that your mom keep the ECV in lines as much as possible. The line for Soarin from ride entrance to the ride is 1/4 mile, and that is not even including getting into the Pavilion! The lines are a lot longer than people think, and if the ride stops for some reason, she could be stuck standing a LOT longer than she wants. There are a few lines an ECV cannot go in (for instance, with an ECV or wc, you have to skip the stretching room in the HM), so that may be a good line to walk if she needs to stretch).

Sounds like you will have a great trip!
