Actually, Ellen (I'm so old I still call it Universe of Energy!!!) is acessible by most, if not all,
ECVs as well as power wheelchairs. A few years back, I think that Disney's own ECVs were a bit bigger than the off-site rental machines and the rule was that you could use your own (or off-site rental), but not a Disney rental. This was certainly true for the Conservation Station train.
Also can he do some of the preshows? How do you know which one has a chicken door? I think he might like some preshows.
Does testtrack and Mission to Mars have a preshow he might be able to see?
I have done preshows in my power wheelchair at Tower of Terror, Rock n Roller Coaster, Dinasaur at AK, Test Track & Mission Space.
Tower of Terror is fun, nice gardens, Costumed CM & Rod Sterling on TV. Interesting basement then the chicken door back to the gift shop. When I tried it again last year, the CM told me it wasn't possible. I argued but he wouldn't budge. I will take Talking Hands' advice next trip and get a 'this is not an ECV' GAC card next time.
RnRC & Dinasaur preshows are OK but not great, Test Track a little better if not too crowdwd and it has a reasonable post show & shop.
Mission Space has a fun post show area with computer games themed on 'mission training'.
I have read on these boards that they will sometimes let you 'ride' Star Tours and Body Wars with the simulator stationary, so you can just watch the movie.
Oh... and I once did Haunted Mansion as far as the stretch room. Once everyone else had gone on to the ride area proper, I stayed there whilst the CM re-set the room and then left through a side door.
