My goodness, the scooter saved me and allowed me to see far more than ever before. I highly recommend it. I have periphial artery disease and have to stop every few feet to allow leg cramping to stop. I rented a full time scooter from Walker's and it was waiting for me at the hotel. The only problem I had was that the bus from my off site hotel wasn't handicapped accessable, and I had to call the bus co. to get a special one to come. Then we had to travel to several hotels along the way. The scooter was small enough, so we found that breaking it down and putting it back together was not a huge issue if you have two people who can lift. We simply put it in the back of our vehicle and drove ourselves to the parks. We had no handicapped sticker, but found if we told the parking attendants our situation, they allowed us to park closer and at the end of a row. Animal Kingdom put us in the handicapped parking. I also never had a low battery problem.
As for the parks, I found the Disney people to be very accommodating, helpful and absolutly super. Driving by scooter through the parks is a challenge when it's crowded, and the biggest issue I had was the number of people who cut right in front of the scooter and take a chance on being hit. We found that by putting hats, ears or something on our heads, or wearing look alike shirts we became more visible to others, and it helped to find each other. I found the ferry and the sky tram thing to be very easy access.
It is a different world from chair or scooter level. I vow to always look down and in the face of all wheelchair/scooter drivers from now on! I vow to never cut in front of one or to race across their path.
