The fun part is that you ALSO get yelled at if you drive up and then go find the nearest CM to ask what you should do. They act like you're astoundingly stupid for not psychically intuiting which queue this specific person wants scooters in. It's just guaranteed to not be the one they wanted...

The problem is you're not trying to clarify, you're trying to poke holes in what I said -- and/or suggest that because I can park my own scooter correctly, but I'm not safe when a hurried driver forcibly grabs control of the scooter against my will and without giving me any time to react, that...

I have a small backpack that I hang over the back of the scooter's chair, and I just tuck my cane so it's between the pack and the chair. The pack straps hold it there pretty securely. It's the type of cane that has rubber feet, so I tuck it right side up and snug the bottom under the chair...

Thanks for this tip! There is still zero availability over a 12 day period for Ohana, for my party of 2... but when I searched for 3 people suddenly literally 5, 6 slots opened up on most days. Insanity.

Er, I thought someone said Minnie Van drivers are Disney employees, Cast Members making a typical CM wage? Even though the service is coordinated via Lyft, it's not Lyft rideshare drivers who drive the MVs, it's Disney employees. Is that true, or was that poster mistaken? I tip either way...

And I shake my head in disbelief when someone who freely admits nobody they know has a physical disability somehow believes they know what it feels like. Seriously? You're so sure there can't be any real distress for a condition you don't have and have never even seen? I can't even imagine...

I rent a commode seat from OMR every year because the toilets are too low for my knees, even in accessible rooms. It's always delivered right to my room while I'm there. I typically arrive early in the day and schedule any deliveries for that afternoon. I've had times when the rental arrived...

I have an absolutely huge golf umbrella with UV resist fabric that slots right into my scooter. Normally it's for rain, but I have opened it when it's a high UV day. It's kind of fun, people admire the umbrella and constantly tell me they wish they'd thought of it. Just have to be extra...

I don't really have a dog in this fight, so to speak, because my needs are handled by a scooter and cane. But re: bathroom issues all I can think is how many queues are just impossible to get OUT if you're in the middle of it and crushed in on all sides. So many queues where there's an area...

There's three of them in my social group alone. Maybe we're all unusual, I don't know. Hurrycanes are popular and purple is the only feminine color they come in. If you're worried, just wrap a strip of colorful duct tape around the cane. Someone accidentally grabbing my cane is not even...

I won't allow drivers to move my scooter while I'm in it, as it isn't safe. I've had my foot crushed four separate times after repeatedly telling the driver to be careful and explaining exactly how to watch out for my foot. They don't care and don't listen, they're just going as fast as...

I've been coming to Disney for many years and the one reservation that is consistently difficult for me is 'Ohana. I booked all my ADRs last week and there is currently nothing at all available from May 30 to June 6. I paid for an account at the alert site (apologies if we're not supposed to...

I hope we're not traveling at the same time, because I also have a purple Hurrycane! It's actually a popular option, I hate to tell you that.

The closing time park queues, yes. It's never much of a wait to get a bus from Pop to MK or AK since I don't typically go out until afternoon. The problem is getting back to the resort at night when the entire park seems to be waiting for a bus to Pop or AoA. I don't specifically recall the...

EDIT: My apologies, I initially responded before I investigated all of the links you offered. It looks like the Bags VIP service would work out well, assuming they can deliver to a Disney resort which is probably no problem if it's the same company. It's actually a much better option than...

A lot of people are recommending renting a scooter and honestly I think it's a bad idea. At least think it through and talk to him first. If your dad is used to independence, used to walking, and you only need something just in case the heat gets to him or the distance is too much? An ECV is a...

I tend to talk too much so let me try to keep this short. I'm disabled, I fly to Disney every year with my scooter. I travel alone and meet a friend at Disney a few days later because I like to have some Me time. So I am alone at the airport. Because my scooter comes on the plane and I can't...

The airport has skycaps who can handle this for you. I bring my scooter on the plane to Disney, and now that Magic Express is gone, I can't get my luggage off the belt and haul two or three heavy bags to the Mears shuttle on my own. I just head down to bag claim and flag a skycap to help me...

I absolutely agree and yet this is how they do it the majority of the time in my experience. I've been coming every year for almost 2 decades. Almost always my scooter is told to go through the queue, when I get to the bus I can't get on because they don't let the scooter on when there's...

I see a lot of discussion about larger ECVs and yet all I can think is this: I own my scooter, I have used it for 15 years. I'm an expert driver. And I would not be able to BACK UP A NARROW RAMP onto the bus. Certainly not on the first try, likely not the second either. That's absolutely...
