Scooters on parking lot tram

[Goofy4]

Sorry, I'm sure it's somewhere to be found, but I'm not seeing the answer to this...

Can you put rented scooters (the smaller variety) on the parking trams?

What about the monorails; do you just drive them on?

Thanks!

You cannot fit any ECV on a tram; the narrowest I have seen is 19 inches wide and the space in front of the seats is less than that.

And there is no problem at the monorails, they will put down a metal ramp between the car and the platform for you.

If you look on the disABILITIES FAQs thread near the top of this board, you will find more information to add to what Cheshire Figment wrote. You can fond that thread near the top of this board or follow the link in my signature to get there. One post on that thread talks about options for parking and also monorails (with pictures).

To specifically answer you--AT DISNEYLAND (APPARENTLY NOT WDW) yes, you can put rented scooters on both. On the DISNEYLAND trams there is usually a scooter/wheelchair loading ramp. For the monorails at both parks a CM needs to bring a ramp to allow you to drive in. They are supposed to radio ahead so the CM at your destination knows you are coming to put down the ramp so you can back out--but sometimes there can be a glitch--not so bad if you're traveling with someone who can flag down a CM--if you're alone can be an issue (so go early so you can take the entire loop again! LOL)

Really? In Disneyland we have ECVs on trams all the time. There are specific areas for them. I just assumed WDW had the same trams.

It would be nice if they did, but the WDW parking lot trams are not accessible. It may be because WDW has more space to put handicapped parking lots that DL has.

Well, the I guess the OP will just need to come out here to DL! LOL

Yes, just to confirm at Disneyland you CAN bring an EVC onto the tram. My mother has MS and rides a scooter while at Disneyland, we've boarded the parking lot tram many times with it. There's a designated handicap boarding area with a ramp. You may also consider requesting the courtesy handicap shuttle while at Disneyland. Anyone with a mobility disability can request to ride it. Speak with the nearest parking lot attendant regarding it, they'll let you know if its operating or available. A lot of the times the shuttle is in the parking lot waiting to assist guests. It's basically a little shuttle bus with a lift, and can fit about 10 adults.

And yes, on the monorail you drive it in via a ram which a castmember will place at the monorail vehicle entrance.
