I wrote a rather lengthly essay a few years ago (with a recent update) about the subject of using a scooter at WDW. Seems it is still relevant today. If you want to read it it is located at http://www.anaheimtoorlando.com/scooter.html
I hope you enjoy and those who are new to scooters and old hands and those who want to just understand what we who must use a scooter have to do. The essay is meant to help with understanding and as such I have tried to keep it as neutral as possible while explaining the topic.
Thanks,
Andy
So stay away from the front of scooters, because they can't stop suddenly. But also stay away from the back of scooters because they can stop suddenly. Maybe they need a cow catcher on the front to catch the poor pedestrians who wander onto the tracks, err, I mean walking paths.
