Stupid ECV ?

[chirurgeon]

Do the ECV's have cup holders?. I would prefer to drive with 2 hand. I also don't want to chug my drinks. I know, too much time to go. Also, if I have an ECV, do I need the Fantasmic Dinner Package? How is the view from the back where they park the ECV's? What to do with 4 months to go. It's too early to pack and leave for the airport. The only thing left to do is make my reservation for the Sunrise Safari and try to get an AP code for my room reservation. What else is there left but to think up stupid questions.

No cupholders - although you could ask if that's an option (probably at additional cost) or check medical supply places in your area to see if they have anything you can buy and bring. The ECVs do have baskets

Stop by Walmart and purchase on of the "old fashioned" cup holders ( the kind that you used to have to slide in the window channel of your car. They hang nicely off the baskets of most scooters

Seen Fantasmic lots of times with wheelchair. View is good from back, except that columns from lighting partially block your view (view OK but look intrusive in any photos you might take). Beware of inconsiderate people one row in front of wheelchairs who stand up during the finale ready to make a run for the exit. Hit them over the head! (with something soft).

When we have gone to Fantasmic, the 2 rows right in front of the wheelchair seating were also handicapped seating, either for people who did not have wheelchairs, but needed seating in the back, or the rest of the people who were with a person using a wheelchair or ECV. We didn't have any problems with people getting up and leaving early at any of the shows we were at because they were all with people in wheelchairs.

I don't know about the Fantasmic dinner package seating (I know the wheelchairs are in the back row, but don't know if the 2 rows in front of the wheelchairs are for the 'wheelchair parties.)

My mom had an ECV when we were there this past May. She can transfer and walk (just not long distances). When we arrived the CMs started telling her where to park the ECV so she could see the show. We told them we wanted to sit closer and she would just park the ECV in the back and walk down the steps. A really nice CM told her she didn't have to do that and if she would follow him he would show us to the most perfect seat in the house right down front. We felt like someone with a child in an ECV would enjoy it more, so decclined and walked down. Anyone know where he was talking about? I don't think I've ever seen any ECVs down low.

It's in the very front row. There are a few spots for people in wheelchairs/ECVs down there. If you do go to the front, be prepared that you may get wet. The mist from the 'water screens' can blow quite a way and get you fairly damp (there is a good reason they sell beach towels in the front section.)
On the far right side of the theater (as you face the stage) there is a long (not real steep) ramp that goes all the way to the front of the theater (alongside the dinner package seating). That path continues to go out the theater and is a less crowded way out after the show is over. (If there is only one show, the majority of people will be going out the same way they came in). We have not gone to the 2nd show (when they have one), but we have gone when there was a second show after ours and they directed all the people to leave that way (probably because the people for the next show were waiting in the same area where we came in).
