First of all his scooter rental should be from off-site. When the reservation is made make sure they are told he will need crutch holders on the ECV; these are not automatically there and add about $10.00 to the rental fee (total, not daily). The Disney ECVs do not have crutch holders.

Some attractions he may be able to go on in thee ECV. Some he may have to transfer to a wheelchair, and some he will have to transfer to a ride vehicle.

SpaceShip Earth and Haunted Mansion can be stopped to allow people on and off. Peter Pan will not be stopped unless a true emergency. I'm not sure how it is handled on TTA, but thgose are the attractions with moving entries.

Man, do I wish I'd posted here before I went to Disney World this year! I thought I knew everything about ECV rental, but apparently not. I ddn't know crutch holders were available as an add-on - I kept mine balanced (more or less) between me and the steering mechanism, and often watched things through the crutches! Thanks for the tip!

I'm at work, so I don't have my "Sticky notes" available, but if you go to a current post about someone takeing their blind DD to WDW, there is a list on one of the pages that I posted about rides with moving walkways.
Most of them can be slowed or stopped. The exceptions are Peter Pan and the Tomorrowland Transit Authority.

Be sure to let the castmember know you need it slowed or stopped. They don't really let you know this option is available most of the time.
