Disneys Answer to Mobility devices in the Park

[jrmiller]

YUP YUP YUP I agree. Do not disregard the option to choose.

[jrmiller]

Go to the newspaper article posted by NEVerland. Kind of says it all ... you come and play with my toys and leave yours at home or just do not come and play!! JR Still no answer re the definitions of electric convience vehicle and what areas are included or excluded as the PARK? JR

[SEGWAYRON]

WITH THE I-BOT CHAIR COMING OUT SOON DO YOU THINK THAT WILL KILL THE CHANCES OF THE SEGWAY HT GETTING ADA APPROVAL?

[jrmiller]

Segwayron, No I do not think that it will effect what the ADA does. They I hope will act as an independant judge and come to a verdict with the evidence of facts presented and not use hersay or rumors to bias their judgment. SEG-ON SEG-RIGHT JR :&gt

Greetings, Today is the 17th of February and I have not received an answer from Disney. I resent the request again for the third time and will wait and see if I get any response..... again. JR SEG-ON SEG-RIGHT

This looks like the answer you didn't want to hear.

One little step at a time. There will come the day when Segway HT's are the norm all over the country. Maybe all over the world, Disney World that is.
We must keep these stories in the mainstream news to benifit both Segway and disabled operators.

What is their definition of "electrconic devices" ? Nowhere did they address the HT situation. I'll try it again.. STay tuned for the next episode. SEG-ON SEG-RIGHT JR

This whole thing is strange to me because one of the coolest videos I saw before I got my Segway was a movie of Segways being used at Disney World!! What's up with that?--given the topic of this thread? There is a link to movies and pictures here at Epcot:

Here's the general webpage

Here's the link to the movie

And here is a link to pictures

So, apparently SOMETIMES Disney World permits Segways. I hope this info helps someone figure it out because I sure am confused.

Those are guided tours for an extra fee led by Disney Cast Members before opening hours of the park.

I see. Thanks for that. I had thought that perhaps the training mentioned allowed them to continue to use the Segway after the park opened, but this is not the case.
