We’ve got a trip booked in May, just made our fast passes this morning. It’s hard to get excited about a trip that I’m beginning to wonder if it’s going to happen. I’ve been reading so much it’s stressing me out. Besides the finger scan, I’ve thought about the bag checking. Having someone put...

I tried the Toy Story Mania wheelchair car before, the year I switched from an ECV to a power chair. They had trouble finding places to tie down my chair. It seemed very insecure so I decided to attempt transferring this time. It was a struggle I don’t want to repeat. Next time I plan to see if...

I came across this thread when searching for info about whether there will be a wheelchair accessible ride vehicle on Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway. Based on the fact that it requires transfer, I guess it won’t be wheelchair accessible. I’m really disappointed since we have a trip in May &...

Getting on at Riviera is no problem at all. Getting off is a little bit harder just because you’re backing off but as long as you stay straight it’s not bad. You can see your reflection in the window to make sure you’re centered & just back straight off. To me it’s not as bad as backing off the...

Today we rode the Skyliner from Riviera to Epcot & back. I was pretty nervous at first to load at Riviera but after watching it load a few times a talking to the workers, I decided to try it. It was fine. I had no trouble with backing out. When you board at Epcot it’s completely stopped and they...

Thank you so much! That doesn’t sound too bad. Plus if you’re going to HS you’d save yourself the trouble of getting off & re-boarding at CB. Sounds like it will all work out.

It was a ECV at the Riviera station.

I try to be considerate in my wheelchair but sometimes it doesn’t work out well. It’s usually just my husband with me so not a large group. Once when leaving MK, there were enough people in line to fill the bus so I didn’t want the driver to load me first with my wheelchair. We went over to the...

I read a comment this morning saying that it was never stopped at Riviera for them. They described their experience boarding there as “nerve wracking”. So it sounds like it isn’t usually stopped. I just don’t want to be rushed if it’s not stopped or inconvenience others if it is stopped. I may...

We’re staying at the Riviera next week. When I booked it 7 mo ago, the ease of using the Skyliner sounded great since I use a wheelchair. After finding out that loading at the Riviera station with a wheelchair may not be so easy, we’re thinking about just walking to the Caribbean Beach station...

We’re staying at the Riviera next week. I wasn’t aware of the wheelchair loading process there when I booked it 7 months ago. I’ve been concerned about it since that information became available. So much so that I’m thinking we’ll just walk over Caribbean Beach so loading with my power chair...

I’ve never booked a Florida special room because I wasn’t sure if it would meet my needs, I don’t really understand what they are. The HA rooms with tubs should have hand held shower sprayers. They should also have a shower bench but it may not be the type you need or there’s been times it’s...

Thank you so much for the reply. Sorry to hear your health kept you from enjoying your trip. I’ve been surprised there haven’t been more wheelchair users reporting their experience with the skyliner. I was beginning to think they just weren’t riding it. We’re staying at the Riviera next month...

Ray Sharpton, didn’t you just get back from a WDW trip? If so, did you try the gondolas? I really would like to hear how it was from someone who has actually tried it with a wheelchair with the gondola still moving as they enter.

The Riviera station doesn’t have a place to pull off. I just don’t see how it would work unless the gondola comes to a complete stop. If I’m not mistaken, the walkway isn’t moving. If my front wheels get on a moving surface while my back wheels are on a stationary surface, it seems like it would...

Sue, did you ever post more info on your experience with a wheelchair & the skyliner? We’ve got a trip coming up in January at the Riviera. I’m getting a little nervous about riding the skyliner with my power chair...especially at the Riviera station. I’m not seeing much discussion from...

I have CMT also. It’s not too often I hear of someone else who has it or even heard of it. I used a ECV at WDW for years. The 1st one I owned had a lever on the steering bar that was controlled by your thumb. My hand would get very tired & weak. The 2nd one I owned, the level was operated by...

We just bought wheelchair accessible tickets for May. You have to call. The number is on the website.

I have wondered about this also since we are considering renting a Whill for an upcoming trip to Disney. I also worry about the metal hooks scratching a rental. My Golden Envy is all scratched up from the bus drivers trying different places to attach the tie down hooks. My husband started...

We’re considering renting the Whill for WDW in April. Would love to hear how it goes. I’m also wondering how soon we should reserve it. I noticed the required insurance. That made it $250 for the week. I have a small power chair so I’m questioning whether to spend that much to rent one. My...
