I will admit that yes I am fat and most days i can get around without a problem, however the last time i was in disneyworld i decided to walk and now i have two big spurs that have flared up in my feed. When the dr said they were caused by walking and putting all my wight on my feet for long periods of time...so now when i sit in a scooter around disney i feel confident that i am doing so for my own sanity.Barbara Erettohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09628477248030537689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111064072849484956.post-37823272216150011182012-06-30T10:14:27.562-04:002012-06-30T10:14:27.562-04:00The scooter problem has gotten out of hand, and so...The scooter problem has gotten out of hand, and sooner or later, Disney needs to take a stand and limit the number of scooters allowed into the parks, before someone gets seriously injured. Having paid a lot for ones vacation doesn't justify using a scooter needlessly, because those of us who are constantly having to dodge the ridiculous number of scooters in the parks paid just as much for our vacations. It's unfortunate that so many who don't need them are using them, because it results in people feeling anger towards all of those who use them, whether they need a scooter or not.The abuse of scooters results in ride delays, transportation delays and overcrowding. I recently witnesses a couple with scooters on a Disney bus. The husband obviously had mobility issues, but the wife did not. Between the two of them, with their scooters, this couple occupied ten seats on the bus, and of course loading and securing the scooters resulted in a major delay. Not fair to the majority of us.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16834298614908865452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111064072849484956.post-47428790362174110632011-10-06T19:28:17.520-04:002011-10-06T19:28:17.520-04:00Foofy - I don't know if you will see this or n...Foofy - I don't know if you will see this or not, but here's the thing - don't worry about what people think. There will always be some fool who thinks he or she knows better, but ignore them the best you can and do what you have to do to enjoy your trip. If you are hurting, it won't be any fun.<br /><br />You will still have to wait in lines most of the time (unless you can't walk at all), but it's not a big deal with the scooter to get you from place to place. Unfortunately, the idiots who rent them just to try and avoid lines ruin it for everyone.<br /><br />And if you will need it every day, you might want to rent from an outside company - it will be far cheaper than renting from WDW. plus, you will have the scooter at the hotel, to and from buses (which can be a long walk), etc.Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00684328990767140199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111064072849484956.post-28831858823120667862011-10-06T18:59:31.733-04:002011-10-06T18:59:31.733-04:00We're going to Disney World at the end of Nove...We're going to Disney World at the end of November. I was recently diagnosed with severe hip arthritis. My wife really wants me to rent a scooter. Considering hip arthritis has no outward signs, and considering I'm 6'4", 388 lbs.... I have a feeling people will look at me as a "lazy fat guy".<br /><br />I normally don't care what people think... but this situation is really bothering me.Foofy610https://www.blogger.com/profile/03905154261813322312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111064072849484956.post-15528759976100055532011-09-19T04:48:21.189-04:002011-09-19T04:48:21.189-04:00OMG!!!!

I was looking to see what the process is to rent a ECV at Disney because my mom who looks perfectly healthy and attractive suffers from COPD. There is no way she will enjoy the day on foot nore does her pride easily allow her to be open to the idea of being on wheels. So this is what I have decided, I have every intention of renting my mom a scooter for the day directly from Disney, I am also going to rent two more for both my partner and myself who are perfectly healthy people. My feeling is if my mother is to be on wheels then so will we. This is my way of making my mother feel less of a display and to assure that she has a great day on equal footing with the people she will be spending the day with. Do I care if it pisses people off that I am using wheels?? NO it does not. This will be $150.00 cost to me for 3 scooters for the day wich is rediculously high for a dam scooter after we pay almost $400 for one days admissions to the parks. Will I feel wrong because bitter nosey people feel I have no right to enter an attraction via a special entry?? HELL NO! If im paying that kinda money to Disney for use of a dam scooter then I will gladly take any short cut that dam scooter can get us. Am I to feel bad because Disney runs out of scooters through out the day? Hell no its not my job to care, as I am there as a customer willing to spend money in trade for a great day. people in need must arrive very early as suggested by Disney or Disney needs to purchase more scooters to rent. So people just need to shut the hell up or pay for a scooter.

I just wanted to point something out that people seem to not be understanding: Being on a scooter or having a GAC (Guest Assistance Card) that gives you access to the handicap accessible entrances doesn't mean you get on the rides more quickly, most of the time you'll wait the same amount of time and sometimes you'll wait even longer.<br /><br />People just assume, however, that it's some kind of magical pass to get to the frond of the line, and that's just not the case.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02432041328889618278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111064072849484956.post-38625966367450408402011-03-04T14:15:40.957-05:002011-03-04T14:15:40.957-05:00Thank you thank you thank you for writing this.

However at anytime, and with alarming frequency, she her joints will lock, in whatever position they are in and she will fall. She also has trouble getting moving and stopping moving. <br /><br />She has trained her english lab as a service dog to help break her fall and assist her up.<br /><br />Standing and not moving is the worst, she can't stand in lines, and when she does, it is like a traffic jam because she trouble moving again. We went to an amusement park at Christmas time and the nasty, nasty comments we got because she looked fine. She wasn't but she looked fine.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07385533127123795714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111064072849484956.post-58156391754121170472011-03-04T13:47:40.675-05:002011-03-04T13:47:40.675-05:00My mother was one to get bent out of shape about p...My mother was one to get bent out of shape about people parking in handicapped spots. She'd see them and call them out on it, and usually she was right to do so.<br /><br />One day, though, there was this perky young woman scampering out of a minivan. My mother lit into her, and the woman opened the back door of the car to reveal a severely, obviously handicapped, wheelchair dependent child. She slunk away.Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15460136246441367993noreply@blogger.com
