    Y'all are *so* lucky that I am a digital packrat and I keep dang near everything! 😂 Southern Mobility & Medical Also, continue to keep an eye on the Journey site... I have seen accessories come and go there. I sometimes think they must leave it to the unpaid interns to keep up to date!

    ECV on a Fort Wilderness golf cart

    OK, you didn't hear this from me. First of all, do go pop into the Fort Wilderness thread; those people are genuinely some of the nicest Disney folks around. I am forever an FW fan because of the awesome humans we met over and over again when staying there. Next, there *are* some golf cart...

    If I need urgent care for an eye issue, which would you recommend near WDW?

    Tagging on to this idea, I know for sure that CVS has local delivery, and I believe most Walgreens do as well; if your hometown eye doctor can call it to a local (at home) CVS or Walgreens, you can call and ask the Orlando location to fill the prescription, and have it delivered. I know that...

    I have a new knee!

    Listen, if I (somehow) got *into* that boat at Frozen, I would be right next to you - but hey, at least we wouldn't be alone! 😂 I have zero personal recommendations for boat rides, other than the ones that, you know, are either a walk-on or roll-on 😆 I feel like someone else here had this...

    New buses coming in early 2024 - ECV restrictions

    It makes sense; when we first found out about the new system, my first thought was that portable folding manual chairs would just... fold under the pressure (OK, I'm due one. I almost never get punny here 😂 ) This is just one of those middle-of-the-night crazy ideas, but what if we slide 2 or...

    New buses coming in early 2024 - ECV restrictions

    Good to know that the roll out of the new buses is more a gradual phase-in than just dumping them all into the system, and allowing chaos to ensue 😂 Just speculation: I wonder if they used the "traditional" tie-down because that may impact fewer seats - leaving more seats for folks to sit in...

    Disney's PORT ORLEANS FRENCH QUARTER RESORT Information & Questions

    Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't recall seeing any of the older MagicBand, or MagicBand 2 styles in the shop recently. There may still be available in some of the shops around the greater Disney World Resort; I don't recall seeing them anywhere, but admittedly, I am typically...

    DAS changes coming WDW May 20/ DL June 18, 2024

    I've been a mod on other forums in the past; my first turn as a mod was in 1997 (I'm old. They dust me off a couple of times a year, and take me out of the museum, and let me warm my bones in the sun at Disney World LOL) The reason most folks take on the task of being a mod is because we are...

    Scooter/Wheelchair Advice

    I am so very sorry to hear that it happened not once, but twice. I have been very fortunate; I think in part because all of my devices can be folded into very compact, very tight shapes, and they are lightweight (because I need them to be, so I can handle them on my own if needed). Our family...

    ECV Rental

    Are y’all flying in to Orlando? Just a thought - not only is Orlando quite a hike from the gate to the curb (and back again for the flight home) but your home airport could also be a long walk as well. You can buy a decent manual wheelchair for a reasonable price on Amazon, or you can check...

    Scooter/Wheelchair Advice

    I'm so sorry to hear that their chair was damaged. It's a very real concern for anyone who flies with mobility equipment; I have learned that all I can do is try to mitigate damage ahead of time, and pray like a Saturday night sinner on Sunday morning that there's no damage on the other end of...

    ECV Rental

    Parks rentals tend to sell out due to reasons like the time of year, and which Park(s) have the most folks in the them. The first week of May might be quiet, and no problem. Mothers Day at EPCOT and MK will probably rent out pretty quickly, Memorial Day weekend for sure. So it's not a given...

    Scooter/Wheelchair Advice

    Yep. Consider practicing a few times before your trip, while you are at home; creating that muscle memory will help you stay focused and calm while preparing the chair at the bottom of the jetway, outside the aircraft, or putting it back together at the end of the flight! Also remember that if...

    coranDO SPRING TIPS

    First thing that comes to mind is: Use the internal bus system to get around *inside* the Resort. It can be a bit of a learning curve, but we see that same type of system at other large Resorts at Disney (thinking here of Fort Wilderness, Port Orleans Riverside internal shuttle typically loops...

    Help an Auntie of a toddler w/ Spina Bifida Please!

    Just an FYI, when you go through Security at the Stroller/Wheelchair/Scooter line, be sure to tell them that y'all will be glad to hold her while they check her stroller, and then they can "wand" her. They may ask you to even walk through the metal detector with her in your arms instead of...

    Scooter/Wheelchair Advice

    I'm really glad the info might prove helpful; I know all too well what it's like to try and do your due diligence when it comes to vetting a new-to-you mobility device! I actually have not flown with my Zoomer. Having said that, I *have* flown with other mobility devices, and the main...

    Scooter/Wheelchair Advice

    My Zoomer will easily go 8+ hours at Disney; admittedly, I am a real stickler about turning it off when I'm not moving, and I am at the max weight range, so those both impact battery life - in different directions! Things that I really like are: - The Zoomer has a "limp home" mode; if you drain...

    Scooter/Wheelchair Advice

    I’m not sure about the interchangeability of the batteries through the entire series. I believe the earlier Zingers had a different battery/motor setup, but not sure. Ironically, you may be able to move the bright green seating material to the Zoomer (if you find one) at one point in time...
