Next month I will be in WDW with my wife, our daughter and her boyfriend. This has to be close to our thirtieth visit but for the first time I will have to use a rented scooter not only in the parks but outside the parks as well. This is the reason I am asking for advice. My first question is: are all the rental companies about the same?
Second, is it difficult maneuvering a scooter in the hallways, elevators and rooms? We are staying at the Jambo House at the Animal Kingdom Lodge. We’ve been there before but I don’t recall any guests using scooters.
Third, for transportation within the Jambo House I intend on using my rollator. I will use the scooter to go to the Kidani Village, to the bus and then to the park. When not in use, can the scooter be parked in my room or does management require it to be stored off the lobby?
Finally, is there a preference for three or four wheel ECVs, light weight or heavier ones or what? I weigh about 250 lbs. I will turn 80 while visiting WDW and I’m in pretty good shape for someone who has just been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and who has two really sore knees.
Thank you and any advice will be appreciated.
