Electric Scooter Wheelchair

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?

Airlines will carry your electric wheelchair or scooter for you as long as it has dry cell batteries and wont leak if it falls over.

Plus in the airport they will provide you with a wheelchair and assistance on and off the aircraft if you require, but you need to let them know what you require a few weeks in advance.

You can get a wheelchair accessible bus from the airport to the parks / hotels, but again you need to book in advance. The also have taxis that can take a chair.

Disney is great for accessablity, they have adapted rooms and all the transport have ramps and lifts, however some of the lifts are only manual chair size.

You can also hire wheelchairs and scooters in the actual parks and they are pretty reasonable priced.

You can't take scooters on to the rides, but if you need to be in a chiar they will give you one to use.

Have fun, its a great place and they are incredibly helpful.

As belle said, it depends what are your needs. If you are someone who pretty much needs it just for long distance, you can walk short distances and transfer yourself, if you have no postural control issues or skin breakdown, then a scooter should be fine (typically much less expensive than a wheelchair). In contrast, an electric wheelchair typically is more compact (base width and length) for sharper turns within a home, can be accomodated with specialized seating equipment if you have postural control or skin breakdown issues, but is typically much more expensive and heavy. An electric wheelchair is really made for someone who cannot walk any distance independently and spends most of the day on the equipment (such as someone with a spinal cord injury). A scooter is more appopriate for someone who really just cannot walk long distances such as someone with degenerative joint disease.
