Travel Electric Wheelchair

An electric wheelchair cannot be brought on board an airplane and secured.

There is more information at the website I've listed. I hope this helps.

Great travel tips from Mark, a paraplegic and experienced wheelchair user, on everything from checking your wheelchair, getting an aisle chair, to ...

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.

I had a broken hip from an accident that did not heal right (because of extensive damage) and now is arthritic. I am also a major klutz and broke the 4th metatarsal on the other foot and wear a cast.

We went to Chicago over the weekend and I found out that I cannot walk comfortably long enough to keep up with my family during an outing.

I am 46.
luv....When my brother took my mom to disneyworld when she was older, they both said it was a definate perk :)

I once admired a young lady's electric wheelchair (she has MS). She said her Doctor put it this way - OK you CAN walk to your destination but what happens when you get there? You're too tired (or in too much pain) to continue, enjoy other people's company, or do anything but rest for the entire time you're there. But with the wheelchair, you're not exhausted, you can go anywhere, and not be cranky or crabby from being in pain.

I would suggest getting the wheelchair and ride with pride.

My daughter is looking for an electric wheelchair to take to albania for her brother in law who is completely paralised - we live near cardiff but are prepared to travel - if you have one please let me know the cost

Yes, we do and it's free. My son has one, but he doesn't like it. He's small,but tall. He's about 110 lbs. Problem is, I live in Illinois. How do we contact each other?

My good friend wants to travel to Egypt and see the paramids... I would like to take him there but I don't know how accessible that would be for an electric wheelchair?

I would also like to know if there are other nice places to take someone on vacation who uses a wheel chair? Money is not really a problem. Can someone give us some ideas? My friend has only been paralyzed for a 2 yrs and this would be a first vacation we would take together...

Thank you!
