If I do choose my scooter I will be getting a cushion I think as the seat gets to my back after a bit of most all day sittng. Thanks for your input and sorry I was not clear about...

    Size restrictions on Universal rides - annoying!

    I am a very fluffy lady who rides an ecv scooter for major health reasons. Can anyone tell me about Kong seating, is it restrictive in size at all?

    Does the WiFi reach the parking lot?

    Yes it does, I have changed FP times from the Epcot parking lot and checked other things with no issue. At least it does in the front rows of Handicapped Parking where we park.
