So you want to go to Disney World, but you might be worried about the accommodations for a person with a disability.
And with all the crowds of people will you even be able to enjoy yourself.
Well in this video we'll show you how it's possible to have a great time at Disney World using the tools that are available for you we'll, even race to see what scooter is the fastest.

How are y'all today? He uh, he has a little issue with his net going on where he has a hard time, uh, kind of enjoying life it's a little rough, sometimes it's rough.
But when I sit down I'm fine, but he wanted to be here with his family.
So we are going to explore the, you know, the disability, uh passes and these scooters and everything that can help a person that has a disability.
So, uh, he's gonna be a trooper I.
Guess here and Guilford, uh, Disney with us and we're going to see how all this works and see if he uh makes it okay through.
And if all the conveniences for for someone that's disabled, uh, if they're if they're good for you in the Parks here, so we will test that see how that works right so far, it's been really good.
I mean, the people here have been very accommodating and very friendly and nice to us.
So this right here, you can go pick up right at the end of the the walkway here.
And you can get your wheelchair.
We got a wheelchair here for Grandpa to get him in there.
So we can get him a scooter, but we're gonna go get the dash pass set up and see how that works to rent these scooters right here.
This is the place where you rent these.
You can rent them in the park, you know where you can rent ones outside the park.
So right now, we're gonna rip these in the park.
So he doesn't have to be pushed in a wheelchair.
The price on these are 70, but when you turn it back in to get 20 back so they're, 50 bucks to grow one of these for the day and on these scooters, you can actually if you park hop, you just give this one back here, then you can don't have to pay extra to get another one at the other Park that you go to they have to fill out these forms to uh so say they are liable for the machine itself.
All right so Grandma and Grandpa are in their ecvs.
Okay.
Electric convenient Vehicles is what they're called this thing's slow as crap.
You don't like your scooter, I can walk faster than I can walk on this go on this scooter.
They ask past the disability pass, which my son has to get as well, because he is pretty hobbled.
We go to guest relationships here.
Guest relations to get the dash pass.
So then we will explain what the gas pass is.
So he can't get a dash pass because it's a mobility issue.
We'll get one for my dad and uh that should uh be able to do it guest with any physical or mental condition that affects their ability to wait in a standard attraction line for an extended period and qualify for a dance pass and there's a broad range of disabilities that may be eligible for this pass up in your app go to your chipboard right? And then you look through that's, the easiest way to do it, because it shows all the rides that are in the park that you're in so Disney's, Hollywood Studios.
And you just choose what you want to use your dad's password.
Yep.
So here we go.
I'm gonna show let's just do this.
But you always push standby Lane for the fast pass, not Genie, plus you're doing a standby Lane.
You hit that.
And then this comes up Das.
And then it has you return at 3 52, you hit that he's, not gonna let me because I'm already booked with something else.
And then you choose who you want continue.
And the next page, you'll, say, confirm, and then you could confirm, but we already have one scheduled so I can't go in there and get a different one.
You have the dash pass you go through the lightning Lane.
They click the scanners to to get through the first person that has the dash pass clicks first.
And then the rest of the crew can go in after they clear the person with the gas mask.
Look, it can walk.
Yeah, it can walk perfectly fine.
He just had knee surgery.
A month ago.
Yeah, I shouldn't, be fine, but it's.
Okay, he's being a trooper just don't.
Let his doctor.
See this he'll be in trouble.
A Storm Trooper, yeah, for our dash pass, getting out of the rides.
We've been able to get on the rides I think the longest we've waited is probably about 10 minutes on each ride.
And the way the dash pass works is once you go onto your smartphone and you uh hit your dash pass, which ride you want to go on.
You have to wait the same amount of time that uh that that's posted on the outside of the ride.
So if it's a 30 minute, wait, you have to wait 30 minutes before you can get in line.
And then you wait about, we've waited about 10 minutes or so probably the longest ride we went on so far.
So if you need an ecv or a scooters, what I like to call them all the time and not just for the parks, you can rent so we could get these scooters right here.
Instead of the scooters at uh Disney.
These are a lot faster.
So you have the option they bring it here to your hotel.
We are at the Animal Kingdom Lodge today.
You can use the scooters everywhere inside the Resort park, it up into the room, everything so it's fantastic to have.
So this is gonna be a lot better, but we have to take the buses with these scooters they're in their scooters.
Who's who's gonna have the fastest scooter here they have scooters for their whole trip.
Now they don't have to worry about getting on and off of it.
Oh, look how fast it is.
You can pop these things right up on, uh boats here, we're on a boat, getting ready to go on a boat.
They can take you anywhere.
You need to go we're gonna head from Magic Kingdom to Wilderness Lodge, right now.
So, uh, you get these things right on here on the boats.
We found some new Disney Scooters or ecbs and Epcot.
So my dad thought it'd be fun to erase him to see if they're any faster than the old ones were.
We've got the new ones and the uh, the new Disney ones, let's see how fast they are.
Well, they're a lot better than they used to be it's.
Not focusing man, uh, no, he's.
Still got a faster.
One, mom, yeah, that's.
Still a lot better than it was.
Yeah, they're a lot better than it used to be so pops.
Why are you wearing that outfit? We all need to know why did you choose that outfit today? First of on I want to explain my outfit here see I was, um I was in the Disneyland hospital.
