It's good to carry fast acting glucose (like tablets, etc.) with you but there is so much food sold in the parks you won't be far away from something like a soda or juice to bring up blood sugar if needed. My son has type 1 diabetes and we've been visiting since he was diagnosed about 20 years...

Comparatively to doing the parks, the resorts are not much different to navigate and not as large. Do you use a mobility device for the park like renting an ECV? You could rent an ECV from off-site and you'd have for the resort and parks. Otherwise, staying in one of the more compact resorts...

Agreed and another option is to bring an old fashioned ice bag and ask for ice - or even a ziplock to put ice in. You might also want a lightweight cloth for between your skin and any ice or cold pack. Sorry to hear about your foot! The ECV will help. I just had my knee replaced in January...

I was there last year and it was SUPER hot - and I think it kept some out of the parks. I know I didn't wander over until late afternoon myself haha! The crowds were not terrible and I go often. I also went at the end of August last year and there were fewer crowds - BUT - Orlando got...

There's really no excuse for someone to treat you this way and I'm sorry to hear that happened. When you go to renew your pass, do it in the park at one of the blue umbrellas. I don't think there's all that much benefit to doing it over the phone because you could probably find return times...

Hopefully when you're a couple of days away, the long range forecast will give you some idea of if your'e going to hit a really warm or cold period. I was there back in the first week of December for the Jollywood party and it was SO SO SO cold - I was prepared but I couldn't quite make it to...

I requested a WC one trip back in October and they were waiting for me - but the guy had several people - more than he could push. I had a family member and he was happy to turn me over to them. They do get busy but I'm sure someone could help her or would call a WC if none showed up. Ideally...

I've had bad luck with Scooterbug. If they bring you a lemon of a scooter you will be worse off. The park scooter I had was nicer and worked better. I was thinking maybe rent a WC and pick up an ECV after the morning rush into the park but not sure you'd want to go back to the front to rent an...

The GF spa is worth the trip over. As someone noted, you can get a pedicure or manicure and still use the spa amenities. If you're into dining/food, we enjoyed Takumi-Tei for a special dinner. There are other restaurants that have an elevated dinner service that really takes you out of...

That sounds terrifying. I just had my knee replaced and someone could knock me over with a feather so I can imagine the feeling. My son is working as a CM and was telling me another CM got hit by an ECV - sounded like it pinned them between the ECV and something else - hit them so hard that it...

I think in the heavy crowds that people don't see the ECV because it is low enough that it isn't in someone's line of sight. I've also wondered if it looks more like "open space" in people's peripheral vision so they even tend to move there vs. stepping somewhere else. Seems to me when I used...

Yeah I was pretty sure mine stuck out pretty far as well. It might depend on how far the seat is back (?) but I'm not sure. I have a foldable cane so I can just fold it and put it in the basket.

No it was fine. We actually went to the first party of 2023 so it was around May 22nd or so. I'm super sensitive to the cold and it was probably a tad chilly for a minute when you get out of the lazy river but then you get used to it. I also wear sort of a skirted swim leggings & a swim...

I've been twice (including last May) and LOVED it. I rarely go swimming; I use an ECV in the parks due to mobility issues - totally not their target audience. I really love being there at night - no sunscreen needed - less people - good snacks. I don't so the rides but I love the lazy river...

I like the idea of visiting when it is warm but not grossly hot or likely to be cold. Late September could work or into October can be nice...even early November (which gets you further away from hurricane season). Genie+ could be a good buy for your family which would help get through the...

I think the seat is all the way forward in that position so it isn't. I'm tall so I always have seat as far back as it will go for more leg room and the cane holder definitely jutted out past the back of the ECV. I rented from Gold and not BVS but in my memory seemed like the same type of cane...

Gold Mobility has a walker holder listed a one of the free accessories you can choose with an ECV rental. I have a walker (silver color with two wheels on front - the kind you put tennis balls on the back so it can roll better) and a rollator - the rollator is HEAVY and has 4 wheels. The...

Some of the Minnie Van drivers are on the Disney college program (was an option my son could have picked for his extension). I don't know how they handle the tips to the drivers but I'm sure those kids would appreciate it because they don't make much extra typically after paying rent and...

I got a cane holder once on a trip last year and it stuck out too far in the back for my liking so I took it off. The one I was given stuck out there pretty far. Kind of like the one in this picturehttps://www.buenavistascooters.com/rental/canecrutch-holder/

Does anyone know if the new busses let you attach anything to the back of the ECV? I've never liked anything on the back of the ECV because I can't see it and it makes it harder to judge if I'm going to bump something when I'm in reverse. With a basket on the back I felt like I was driving a...
