Thanks for your observations. I thought it was a great post & reminders. Did give me a giggle because it reminded me of these 2 women I encountered in line at the Toy Story ride. Unfortunitly they were abusing the scooters. They should not have even rented them because they both were fully capable of walking. They were in there early 60's I guess and were one behing the other in line, directly behind me. The one in the back had no experience I am sure because the other kept yelling at her how to drive one! At one point the line moved up a bit and the scooter in the back totally rammed the front scooter right into the back of my foot. If they were truely handicapped in any way, it would have NOT bothered me 1 bit. But they were obviously abusing the scooter and using them when not needed.(I saw them several times over the trip in different parks so I am OK making that assesment) Do you think the women could have apoligized to me? NOPE! They just pretended I wasn't hit. Felt like ripping their heads off. It really hurt! I really think DIsney should require some kind of Dr note or something when renting scooters out. I also saw another family with a wheelchair rotating pushing each other around goofing off as they were going around the park. Many people really need these scooters/wheelchairs and others are taking them when not needed.
This^ is what has me scared to rent an ECV. I am in my mid twenties, and look perfectly normal. But I have a condition that makes my HR go too fast. I get fatigued very easily. I am going on a 5 day disney trip with my whole family, and I don't want to feel horrible the whole time, but I also don't want to feel like I can't get up and walk when I can without being judged. I was also wanting to take turns with my husband who has disc problems. I know I should not care what other people think, but I get embarrassed really easy. This post just made me even more nervous.
