As someone who is recently been disabled and a disney fan, this is gonna be informative and am grateful for it. Keep the vids coming. Thanks to @ordinaryadventures for putting yall on my radar.
Glad you found this helpful. We have a follow up video coming out covering how Carley chose the scooter she uses
Thank you for your help in buying my scooter! Other benefits to the DLR scooter are that the battery lasts the entire time one is in the parks, and if there are any problems someone will help you right away.
Actually I’d say you have a better chance of being sure that your scooter will last all day if it’s either a scooter you own our rent from an outside company that you’re able to charge yourself in your hotel room. It’s not a guarantee that a Disneyland scooter has had time to charge completely with the amount of turnaround they have. They do come get scooters that have died though. I know that my scooter will last all day if fully charged, and I can always take my charging cable with me. Disneyland will charge your personal scooter at the scooter rental location
@@adventuresbeyondadversity3313 Thank you.💞
Very helpful, thanks guys
You’re welcome ☺️
I saw you on Ordinary Adventures vlog. Nice to find you.
Thanks for subscribing. Hop you enjoy our videos and find them helpful
As always going through your videos made my Disney adventure a breeze.. Took your advice and I got my Scooter and it’s been life changing.. you guys are the best and keep being amazing with all your great tips 🥰🥰
Thank you! We’re working on an updated scooter video with the tips you gave us
@@adventuresbeyondadversity3313 I have a question being that I now have a scooter 🛵.. are there places at Disneyland, where you could charge your scooter just in case I’m getting low 🤔🤔
No official place’s except I have heard you could possibly ask at the ECV rental stand outside the park if they will charge it. Bring your charging cable. There are outlets around both parks but they are not technically for guest use like the ones they have at Magic Kingdom. You can google where to find them
@@adventuresbeyondadversity3313 As always, you guys are the best
Thank you 😊
Very helpful!

Thanks for subscribing. New adventures coming soon from our unique point of view. Including an update on this video!
I live out of state and only use an ECV when I visit Disneyland. Ive used several of the rental companies you’ve shown and D and R Mobility is my first choice. I’ve also considered purchasing one, but transporting it is a concern for me. Thanks for the info!
Yeah that was a concern for us as well. We have a smaller car so we did a lot of research and found a scooter that breaks down into five pieces that fit in our car
@@adventuresbeyondadversity3313 Would you mind sharing info on the scooter you purchased? BTW...I love that you included that little girl running in front of your scooter. LOL Happens to me ALL THE TIME!!!
We were thinking about doing a video talking about the specific scooter I choose and things to consider when choosing one. I have a Go Go Elite Traveller Plus. Small enough to fit in our car with enough battery life to last all day a Disneyland
Great informative video
Thank you 😊
Great video,
Thanks! Do you know if it’s aloud to ride a personal electric knee scooter at Disney? ‘Cause they are very cheap to buy.
We’ve seen people using knee scooters but not electric ones. It would probably be best to write a message to Disney to make sure
I have the same problem when I rent from Disneyland can you tell me if yours is able to take apart to put in the car.Also the brand and cost thank you
Thanks for watching. We can take the scooter apart and put it in the car. We have a follow up video coming out this weekend talking more about Carley’s scooter and how she chose it
We rented a 3rd party ECV for my mom last year at Disney Orlando and it was fantastic. Cheap, they delivered it right to the hotel, and picked it up when we were done. The problem for us was waiting for an accessible bus. They were using charter motor coaches for some reason and we waited 30-45 minutes for an accessible bus every morning at the hotel. :-(
Yeah accessible public transportation can be a challenge
@@adventuresbeyondadversity3313 This was at Art of Animation! I guess they didn't have enough Disney buses so they brought in outside charters. It was weird.
@jaball77 wow. I hope it doesn't happen to me. I am renting one this week.
Can the ECV rental from a third party be delivered to the front of Disney land ? I won't be staying in a hotel so the option of having it delivered to a hotel room wouldn't be beneficial to me
Most are going to be either pick up at the store or deliver to a hotel.
@@adventuresbeyondadversity3313 Ok thanks for you're response !
They are horrible mobility vehicles. They are bulky, not just large, and are very slow to accelerate. They are not comfortable, and have no reasonable options for storage or shade. The slow acceleration makes them especially difficult when a person crosses in font of you and you have to stop to avoid them. Then the startup delay causes more people to go around you. I have literally been stranded in the center of a crowd as I could not have enough time to match the sleep of people around me. Luckily a man, not a cast member, held people back long enough for me to get going. And you still have to get from the parking structure to the entrance to Disneyland to get one. There is a handicap shuttle, that runs somewhat infrequently, that takes you to the middle of the tram exit area, but you still have to make it to the park entrance. And then there are the problems with handicap parking. 1) When they built Pixar Pals parking structure addition they took away flat parking lot handicap parking and put in ZERO handicap spots in the structure, none at all where you would otherwise expect them by the elevators. 2) There is little signage and very poor indicators for finding available handicap spots. 3) People without handicap placards or license plates often park in handicap spots with no consequences. Security staff will do nothing about it. And 4) Disneyland has designated some regular spots for handicapped only, rather than add actual handicap spots. They just put out a sawhorse style sign that says handicap only beyond this sign. But, people don’t care, they park there anyway for 2 reasons; they aren’t officially marked, and therefore there cannot be any legal consequences. Also, these spaces do not meet state laws and ADA requirements for handicap access. They are not wide enough, and a van ramp cannot be deployed in them. Disney has done nothing to address these failures. If you absolutely need a handicap spot, you need your get there first thing in the morning, or stay at a hotel nearby with your own mobility device.
We agree with all of this. The lack of disabled accessible parking spots in the Pixar structure is unacceptable. I don’t know how they get away with calling regular parking spots disabled accessible
Do people decorate the scooters , so you can tell them apart?
The rental ones have a paper with your last name mounted on them
How do you get into the park? You wouldn't be able to get on the shuttle with one so is there an alternative?
Do you mean the tram? The Disneyland scooter rental area is after the tram. I have a personal scooter that I do take on the tram. The front car is wide to accommodate wheelchairs and scooters
@@adventuresbeyondadversity3313 yeah I meant if you rent one off site. But that’s good to know one of the cars can accommodate.
@queen_bey we actually have a video about riding the tram with a scooter or wheelchair
@@adventuresbeyondadversity3313 I’ll check it out thanks!
The beeping when those things back up is so annoying! Anyone agree?
Definitely agree. And unfortunately no one pays attention to it anyway
Not sure if I missed it, but where did u get your ECV
I got my personal scooter online at Spinlife.com. I think the best thing would be to go to a physical medical supply or scooter store to see them in person
I can’t stand the beeping when those things back up! So annoying!
And no one pays attention to it anyway
Hey Disney, Way to take advantage of people in wheel chairs!!! You guys make CRAP tons of moola, I think you can provide electric wheel chairs for FREE. ESPECIALLY, better chairs than you currently provide.
Hi guys!!! Hope all is well with you both. Hopefully, i can call you soon. We will see.
Thanks for watching bud.
Hi Andrew the ecv's that Disneyland provides are not theirs, they work with another company called scooter bug, I think they are responsible for their electric vehicles. If theres any issues disney cast members at the stroller shop can always exchange your ecv for another one, also one thing that I have noticed is that people abuse this electric vehicles, and of course they are not in the best shape and they are slow for security reasons. But if there's also a mobility rental across the street at the Best Western Hotel park inn, personally I really like their scooters check them out on yelp @ Select mobility scooter rental.
