Re: ECV Questions

Most of the ECV's that are rented from off-site places are really not the types that can be taken apart, but the companies will deliver them to your hotel. I know this because I needed one two years ago when I fell at Blizzard Beach. My ECV was delivered to my hotel (and most of them are) and then left with the bellhops to be picked up latery the company from which it was rented. My ECV weighed approx. 60 to 70 lbs at least and maybe more. THe busses at WDW are equipped to load the ECVs as they have platforms that raise and lower to let those with ECVs on easily and they always load them first. I preferred the bus transportation when I had to use my ECV. It was very easy and simple.

Fantasmic is very easy to get into my DSF had to do it with a cane last year because both of his knees had been replaced and it was easy for him. It is an easily sloping incline with no steps and all people who are handicapped or in ECVs are seated at the top where you get and excellent view. As a matter of fact, I prefer to sit there now. But watch out for the poachers who try to steal those seats in the handicapped section.
