I have recently purchased an electric wheelchair. As I live in the Orlando area, I don’t have to worry about baggage handlers, so it’s my intention to use it at the parks. It is a smaller, four wheeled, RWD chair. It also has a rear push bar, and with the flip of a couple of switches, it functions as a manual chair. (Weight is about 45lbs, unloaded.)
Since it is the same size as a manual, and it is easily turned into a manual chair (for rides like Haunted Mansion and Figment, where the cast members move your chair), will I need to transfer to a manual for those ride lines that normally require you to park your ECV and transfer to a manual chair? I can walk short distances, and can transfer to ride vehicles unassisted, but I have issues with my left arm that make controlling a manual chair—well, let’s go with ‘an adventure’.
