Vehicle for 2 ECVs

[EpcotQueen]

Heading back in October and will need to rent 2 ECVs. Need a vehicle for 4 adults, 2 children with car seats AND the 2 ECVs. Don't think a mini van will do. Anyone have any experience with all this in the larger van?

the one suggestion I would make is to rent one or barrow one to drive some before you get to Disney. even a ford f150 type truck would do. practice parking and turning they do drive differently esp if are used to a smaller car. bring a step stool esp for getting into van. realize the side door of van only get you to first bench seat, which is where you are going to want to put anyone with trouble moving. walkway between seats is narrow and goes over the rear tire. there is usually one side door, not both sides of van. will make it hard to get both someone who has trouble walking and 2 carseats in esp if one is a reafacing infant or young toddler. I base this on the vans we had for grandsons MAW trips, did 2 different trips for 2 different boys. one last thing very little storage behind back seat not sure you could get 2 ECV in there

As an owner of both a Chrysler mini van and a Ford E350 van prior to converting the Ford to a rear lift van there is less room behind the back seat then there is behind the back seat in the mini van. I would rent a Dodge/Chrysler mini van with stow-N-Go seats and stow one of the seats. That way you have room for 2 people in the front, 1 person in the middle and 3 people in the back. One scooter can go where the stowed seat is and one behind the back seat.

You may want to think about getting one scooter at the park. This way you may be able to use a van that will work more easily. The cost of a more expensive vehicle may be worse then the cost of renting a scooter at the parks.

If both need a scooter at all times then you are more stuck. Even then, maybe they could trade off with one another getting in and out of the parks and take turns with the one scooter. This will take a little more time, but it could work.
