Yup, any time I want to read something. Also, can’t like any posts either

How many of the Club level rooms are flagged for handicap (Roll-In Shower)?

Heh, chaos… From what the drivers told me, folding portable scooters (like the Go-Gos) and FOLDING manual wheelchairs are not safe to use the new system since the arms put like 50 lbs of pressure on the sides of the device which can cause them to get crushed.

The worst/most confusing line is the EPCOT lines. At first it seems like you have to weave your way through the line until the pull out point, but all you had to do was go to the side or something.

Did you reserve an accessible room?

Also, if by some rare chance you have to get evacuated from a ride, it’s best to have your cane with you depending on how many flights of stairs you have to go down/up.

I just feel like so many people are going to be thrown into the morally gray area.

Yeah, when I was in line to apply for DAS (I have a legit disability that qualifies), I overheard someone say to their kid “just act anxious”.

If scooters and wheelchairs boarded at the front, they would have to make a really sharp turn as soon as they got on in order to avoid hitting the driver area. That might be doable on SOME powerchairs, but for scooters it would be near impossible.

You just keep it with you for most rides. For rides like Avatar, Soarin’, etc., they’ll take it after you’re seated and give it back to you after the ride’s done. (If you have a cane that doesn’t fold up.)

This is why CM’s are starting to crack down on people letting their kids/grandkids sit on their laps while on the scooter. Last week coming out of Epcot after the fireworks I saw the same exact thing with the user letting a little kid have a joyride on the scooter. Her excuse “C’mon, it’s...

IKR?! Auto doors need to be EVERYWHERE. Especially when the door(s) are EXTREMELY HEAVY.

This! So much this! Last week when I was down there, I finally reached the point where I was like “I’m TIRED of DRIVING for OTHER PEOPLE!” And everyone’s faces being constantly buried in a phone is annoying too. As for the swing gates, most people don’t even hold em open, even if you’re right...

All buses are requiring scooters to back up on the ramp. Powerchairs and manual wheelchairs can board normally. Interesting, I’ll look out for the 5200 buses this week then. That could be an issue for some people though, especially after a long day.

Definitely get a side pouch for little things that would be a pain to hunt for in the front basket. I use this one for my chair (and it matches pretty well.)

Yup. Makes me even more grateful that my mom finally let me buy my own wheelchair.

Do you think your son could possibly push himself in a manual wheelchair that is optimized for pushing? (Like taking the armrests off)

Does anyone know how big the hallways are on DCL? Because when I went on the Wonder 2 years ago, they seemed pretty narrow (tenfold when housekeeping would leave the carts out and of course the aforementioned scooters, some of which were Vic 10’s), leading to me coining the phrase (and game)...

The thing with the Skyliner is that in the regular line, the cabs SLOW DOWN, BUT NEVER STOP. So, if that’s a problem, then the handicap line might be better. Just tell the attendant there that she prefers to get out to sit on the bench and that the chair will be folded. (They use wheel chocks...

Had that happen to me and my mom. It’s only the two of us, but she’s in a rental scooter and I’m in my personal wheelchair. Even had some try to grab onto the back of my powerchair and act like that I had a “dead battery” or something. (They were in for a rude awakening when I let go of my...
