Scooters gone wild!

[CaptainWinter]

before the lock...at MK last week, a guest on a scooter tried to power through a thick MSEP crowd and ran right into my (sandaled) foot. I had my kid on my shoulders -- thank goodness she didn't knock us over over. Anyhow, the guest apologized to me, which I appreciated, but I can attest that those suckers are pretty heavy. I had a ripe scratch on my foot for the rest of the trip.

I don't see the problem. I love them on that motor show at DHS. Vroom vroom

This thread can't go without the obligatory clip of the angry old lady on a scooter at Disney

That is far too much animosity for the happiest place on earth!

Apparently, this is going to remain unusually civil, and is in danger of not being locked. As a service to those who expected a lock, I shall now attempt to start a controversy.

"Hey you, too lazy to type the words? Too important to go beyond abbreviations?"

There, a lock should follow shortly. "You're welcome."

Yes and yes....

^I like the effort. And just in case your tactic of lockage fails to acheive results, this should do it:


P.s. Has anyone ever pool-hopped, and why?

ALL YOU WALKERS R JUST JEALOUS U DIDN;T THINK OF RENTING A SCOOTER AND GETTING FRONT OF LINE XPASS LIKE I DID HONK HONK

 

[rsoxguy]

Hey Bob, I know that we were both joking and all, but I've been around here long enough to know that you've crossed a line that might get you into trouble. My friendly advice is that you hit the "edit" button. Like now.

Much thanks, and advice taken!

(and to anyone wondering, it wasn't anything vulgar or obscene, just so you know).

It was a photo of me in the pool. Too repulsive for words.

I saw it.

My lips are sealed.

Now, what were we saying about free refills in last years mugs?

And whatever happened to King Louie at the end of Jungle Cruise?

Not vulgar? That what you call those pics of you in that All-Star Sports hottub with that cheerleader team? Tsk.

I hear Disney will be introducing toddler sized scooters so that the parents can sit down and take a break while jr. drives around unsuperivised. Truly the fulfillment of Walt's desires said the Monobus driver who told me all about it.

It's a shame people do abuse the system when they don't actually need to. Especially when there are people who actually ARE handicapped or have serious problems walking. My mother is one of the real deals (arthritis and getting older), and it's not even something she enjoys having to use (she'll insist on walking whenever she can, though with a cane and very slowly). Depends on the day and the weather as well as other factors. Though in general we don't even get electric scooters, wheelchairs are my preference since I don't mind pushing it.

That would've been hilarious in the new Dumbo queue area

Scooters can be annoying, but they don't grant special access to anything. The true problem at WDW is people lying to get Guest Assistance Cards that don't legitimately need them, and then abuse them.

 

[alissafalco]

In all seriousness, yes people do abuse the system which is a shame. I do have to say that my daughter was born with congenital heart disease and has had 5 heart surgeries (3 were open heart), and shes only 22 months old. We do need the special needs pass for her, due to the fact she cant sit up or stand for long periods of time, and we have to give her frequent medication throughout the day. Having that said, you absolutely can not tell anything is wrong with her at all if you saw her. She looks just like any other toddler in a carriage. People walking by who saw us Im sure must think we are scammers when we are not. You can not tell from looking at her that she has spent half her life in a hospital. Im just saying..... So, due to HIPPA laws i know Disney cant ask, but i do think there should be some sort of system to deter the scammers. Maybe require a doctors note or form to be filled out by the Dr., without having to say the patients condition so it doesnt violate any laws? Maybe this would deter the scammers?
