I finally got my mom to agree to an ECV for our October trip! I am so happy! She has really painful knees and walks at a crawl and really can't go more then an hour a day. Anyway I am going to get one delivered to the resort and have someone show her how to use it. I want her to be comfortable with it before going near the crowds. I figure our resort, the Poly, will be perfect for tooling around and getting used to it. I have two questions. One, how long does the battery last before getting a recharge? I'd hate to be at the park and it goes dead after a few hours. Second question is can we park the ECV outside of rides where the strollers are when we go on rides? She can stand just fine and would rather walk up to the ride and leave the ECV outside. Can we do this? Thanks!
