I would love info on renting an ECV & are they hard to maneuver? I am worried I will have many accidents.
I have been on the
Buena vista website but really have no idea how to go about this
you have to pay action when driving them people will not see you ( some people like my self truely will not see you other it is because they are looking else where) but please do not let this scare you.
a few tips my friend dose ( I can not use an ECV in the parks due to my disability)
when she rented off site she would take a few minutes ( like 5 minutes) to drive it around the hotel, to see how it breaks ( you let go of the thradle) starts turns. She said that most ECV are a little different so she wanted to see how the one she had works ( she also did a few turns and would see how tight she could turn I am guessing to see the turn radius)
when in the park have the ECV turn to Tuttle yes you will go slow but until you get used to it this will be best and once you feel good you can turn the speed up. and then back down.
one of the hardest times for my friend when she first started when RD and after fire works we would hang back just a little so when were not in the huge crowd but if you do find your self in the middle of a lot of people go at there paces and not try to go faster or get around every one. ( I was at the park one time when every one was leaving MK at the end of the fire works and some lady decided that she could not wait was laying on her horn and yelling move out of my way I need to get to the bus, witch just had other guest yelling at her,)
the busses might be the hardest thing but they are very doable
tip one go as slow as you feel you need.
when driving around the hotel practice parralar parking this is what your will do on the bus
the drives fro the most part will not drive your ECV but will say things like move up a little more turn to you right some, things like this. listen to them they do this all day long
bring something so that you can find your ECV in the sea of ECV like a scarf to tie on the handles a shirt to put over the back rest.
also bring something to cover the ECV if/when it rains, the tiller the part that you drive it with can not get wait and also the battier so no going thought puddles that can get the bottom wet.
I hope I did not scare you the learning curve for driving an ECV is step and once you get the hang of it ( after an hour really) you will be fine
