Thanks for all the info available here! I made it through my WDW trip using a ECV for the first time. I rented from Walker and it was ready and waiting for me at Pop Century. I practiced around the resort for a few minutes as suggested and then off to EPCOT as recommended. The first time loading on the bus did not go well It took sevaral times to back up and then many tries at getting on the right spot on the bus. I am sure the guests who were waiting in the hot sun were not happy and I was pretty embarassed. Unloading went much better. EPCOT is a great park to go to at first. There are wide spaces to practice. Going back to Pop I again had trouble getting into the right space. This driver told me he would just lift it into place. Yeah for the bus driver!!! By the third day I got the hang of getting on the bus and did very well! The only other loading problem was on one of the older buses when I had to load first and be in the slot farther forward. The seats are tight and my scooter wouldn't go very far forward. I only lost my DD once. It was at Pop and she went to a cast member like I told her to and I found her. I also only ran into 1 person. A boy stepped right in front of me and I couldn't stop! There were several times I narrowly missed people. I found many helpful guests who held doors open for me as my DD couldn't manage the heavier ones. I also found many rude people who would stand in front of me blocking my view, look at me and walk in front of me anyway and several nasty looks. I sure got a different view of Disney. It took us longer to get around in the scooter than when we had been walking in the past. When it got really crowded it was very hard and slow to get around. Many people acted like I should get out of their way. I also learned that humans do not walk straight. They weave all over the place!I think that all guests and cast members who are at Disney should have to spend 1 day in a wheelchair or ECV. They would definetly have a better understanding of the difficulties involved and maybe would be more aware! Thanks again! Sorry it is so long!
