It is also told, that the People Mover can't be stopped.
I myself have experienced that that's not always correct.
We were riding people mover, when it suddenly stopped. We assumed, okay technical problems, now we will be evacuated.
But then it began moving again and we get off when reaching unloading area.
Coming down the walkway, we noticed other stops and saw a group of disabled persons (adults), each one assisted by two helpers, holding them up, coming up the moving walkway. The helpers wore t-shirts mentioning the word charity on it.
Obviously the people mover was stopped for them to load/unload.
If stopping the People Mover is possible, maybe it ist possible at Peter Pan too.
If it was in October, it was probably a group from Dreamflight. That is a Wish group that brings an airplane full of kids and teens with disabilities to Orlando each year in October. They do make special allowances for them. If it wasn’t Dreamflight, it was probably a similar group.
Peoplemover has 3 things that move and it is listed a ‘must be ambulatory’ attraction.
The first is the steep moving ramp going up.
The second is the moving walkway at the load/unload area. The third is the steep moving ramp going down.
The moving walkway at the load/unload area can be slowed or stopped and I’ve seen that frequently.
I have seen the steep moving walkway stopped and have walked on it when it was stopped unexpectedly. The most common reason I’ve seen for it stopping is a slowdown in loading, leading to the loading area being full and no room for more people.
I’ve seen it slowed once, recently - a little boy parked his wheelchair at the bottom and was carried up.
We used to take our daughter on it when she was smaller; we held her standing up and let the moving ramp carry her up with us supporting her.
That worked OK, but stepping off when the ramp ends can be a tripping point.
The couple of times I’ve walked on it when the moving ramp was stopped, I was surprised how slippery it is. The ramp is steep and is made of metal - sort of like an escalator without steps.
I have seen people slip on it when it was stopped, so I personally think it would not be particularly safe to carry someone up or down if it was stopped. I would also be very hesitant to have someone walking up or down if they were concerned with slipping, tripping or steadiness.
If you want to ride, I’d suggest having a member of your group go up (and down) enough before you that they can help you with a steadying hand at the end of the moving walkway - that was what we did with my MIL, who was a little unsteady (and has vertigo with steep ramps, escalators or stairs).
Then at boarding, you can let the CM know you need the moving walkway slowed or stopped. The control for that is right at the boarding area.
