My ECV weighed approx. 60 to 70 lbs at least and maybe more.

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.

lawwin: Thank you for the information. I guess we will be renting a minivan then, so we can load it fully assembled into the back. We will be doing more than just Disney, and my DMIL cannot walk more than about 100 feet. (you have been more helpful than the other Disney board I posted to - I got a snarky comment about going to read the FAQs because the person did not want to type the info in again. And the FAQs did not have the information that I asked for.)

That is good to know about Fantasmic. I am looking forward to finally seeing this show! (and I will guard, with my life, the HC accessible seats, that is when I get really snarky, when able bodied people feel "entitled" to accessible seating before the folks who really need it.)
