Scooter question

[cameyer85]

renting a scooter due to knee surgery and pain. I am able to walk and am wondering if I can "drive up" to shows, attractions,resturants, etc. and leave the scooter and wait on line with my family. Is there scooter parking?

yes, you can leave scooter and stand in line. usually will park scooters near strollers which have designated areas, but some places will want you to park your scooter where they indicate. always take your key with you.

Hi and to disABILITIES!

The majority of attraction lines in WDW are "mainstreamed". This means that a wheelchair or ECV will use the regular entrance and line all the way to either a show seating or ride load area. If a line is not mainstreamed there will be signs and/or Cast Members to direct you where to go.

If a show, normally there will be spaces to park a chair or ECV and there will be seats next to the space for other members of the group.

If a ride, usually you will have to transfer to a ride vehicle, although some rides will allow a person in a wheelchair to remain in their chair. If you have to transfer to a ride, and unload is not at the same location as load, your chair or ECV will magically appear at the unload area.

If you click on where it says "disABILTIES" at the top of this page it will take you to the Index. One of the top items is the "disABILTIES FAQ" which will gives lots of useful information. Note that Post #2 discusses mobility and equipment. Post #3 had a wide variety of information and links; it might be a good idea to look at the various park "Guidebook For Persons With Disabilities" for more detailed information.

As CF said, almost all lines are mainstreamed, which means you can take the scooter with you and wait in line with your family. I suggest doing this for rides. If you want to park and walk in, I would do this for shows. ECVs generally will sit in the back row, and not all people in your party may be able to sit with you (generally the max is 3 other people). If you walk in, you will not be stuck in the back row.

Unlike some other amusement parks, parties (up to 6 people) are not split up in lines. You should be able to stay together with the scooter with no problem.
