Would it be possible for someone in a wheelchair (electric scooter by Amigo) to travel to Orlando by plane?

Question by debeyhaber: Would it be possible for someone in a wheelchair (electric scooter by Amigo) to travel to Orlando by plane?
I want to take my family to Disney World. I use this electric wheelchair (scooter) and I wonder if I could take it with me. I think it would be hard for my wife to push me around the parks in a conventional wheelchair. Do the airlines take this kind of chairs? Are the buses that take you from the airport to Disney equiped to take wheelchairs?


Best answer:

Answer by webjnke1
Yes the buses at Disney are equipped for that. Disney in general is very well set up for wheelchairs. I wouldn't think the airlines would be much trouble either. Also if you stay at one of Disney hotels, a bus will take you from the hotel to the parks. We never used our car the whole 5 days we were there.

12500. (a) A person may not drive a motor vehicle upon a highway, unless the person then holds a valid driver's license issued under this code....

You can use a Segway, an "electric personal assistive mobility device", 20 inches long by 25 inches wide, limited to 12.5 mph.

If you are disabled or senior, you can use a electric wheelchair.

Other than that, anything better than and including a "motorized scooter" (CVC407.5, a two-wheeled device that has handlebars, has a floorboard that is designed to be stood upon) such as a GoPed, DOES requires a driver's license.

My electric wheelchair won't fit thru the doors at WalMart and they can't transfer me to a scooter- What to do?

Question by Perry N: My electric wheelchair won't fit thru the doors at WalMart and they can't transfer me to a scooter- What to do?
Due to my weight, and girth, they can't lift me onto one of those scooters either and my wheelchair is too wide to fit through the doors. How can I go back to shopping at Wal-Mart?


Best answer:

Answer by itsfai
Try www.walmart.com or any other Dept. stores. Maybe a Walmart with wider doors in the neighbourhood.

All the best!

Can you ride a child on a scooter at Disney World if you rent it outside the park?

Question by Shari S: Can you ride a child on a scooter at Disney World if you rent it outside the park?
I understand the safety policy of not riding a child on one of Disneys Electric Carts, but they take it too far when you are sitting perfectly still and a four year old just sits on it with you while not moving. What about if you rent from a company and have it delivered to DW and then put your child on it? Will they get angry about that? And yes, the woman was very rude about it to us.


Best answer:

Answer by pattypuff76
No. We will not get angry about that--as long as the 4-year-old is not the one who's steering/driving. If that happens, someone will say something to you about that.

I apologize that someone was rude to you in regard to the safety issue of having a child on the scooter with you. Another issue with those ECV's--in regard the child sitting on it with you when it's stationary--is that they can only hold a certain amount of weight. If you go over the weight limit by riding more than on person on it--or sitting with another on it--it could break. The ECV's that WDW rents out come from an outside source. They do not belong to Disney. That's another reason why cast members are so sensitive about the "rules" regarding them.

Remember, also, when you're riding a scooter that was rented from an off-property source--and you've piled more than one person onto it--that if it breaks, Disney will not offer you a replacement scooter because it was not rented at the park. They will get you a wheelchair and help you get a replacement from the outside company.

Secure Horizon is a Life insurance company. If it is they who told you to get a Hoverund then ask the Hoverund people if Secure Horizon takes care of the tab. There are companies that offer such transportation and are covered by insurance.

Answer by gentlesoul
I did a little search and a magazine called 'Slate' was mentioned. Seems like there's a lot of people selling--it would be easy to get a bunch of catalogs. Also there are some articles in other magazines, probably for elderly or handicapped. Just do some more research. Probably can subscribe through the Internet too, or find an 800 number.
Don't forget the public library--ask the librarian to help you find articles.
Live well and do good.
