Looking for advice and feedback. We have 9 nts in Dec for myself, DM76 and aunt78 who ate both on ECV's. Currently holding Fam Ste's at both ASMu and AOA. Weighing the pros/cons of each. In fam Ste, we have 3 comfortable beds but AOA has skyliner.

I checked night by night and it looks like AP discount is available 5 of the 9 nights so I'm on hold now to hopefully get it applied and see how much I save. Two scooters would not fit in 1 SL which is fine assuming they both follow instructions ;)

11:28am by GoldenDreams

The sofa sleeper at AoA is awful even for my kids. I would not recommend for an adult. 3 beds better at Music suite or you could try for two connecting regular rooms for probably same price or less than a suite.

Ugh. Pretty frustrating. CM is saying when she applies AP discount it's the same price. I can see disc available but booked as 3 dif resv and she said she can't combine them. I did go for the 2 std's but before she could book them they disappeared.

Polling the crowd: How far of a drive is too far for you to do a one-day at the parks?

I agree with 2, mostly due to not wanting to be too tired on the drive home.

55 min ago by TumbleMonkeys

For me, more than about 90 minutes drive is worth getting an off-site motel room for the night. Nothing is worth driving exhausted.

We go to Sea World San Antonio which is about 2 hours each way from the Austin area.

For the Guardins of the Galaxy LL single pass: for the off-resort visitor that can only secure a pass three days before hand, are the passes usually sold out by then? Will be visiting on 10/22.

I see that the EPCOT Tier 1 rides are currently "gone" by 11am. Does this improve in October? About what time will they all be gone?

11:37am by audrow@comporium.net

That's typical. Most of October is actually more busy than summer so unfortunately I don't expect it will improve. Only time I've seen them last a bit longer recently was mid Sept with very low crowd levels.

If anyone sees a news headline that says, "CO woman ditches her elderly mother and scooter at a highway rest stop", it's me. Please send bail money.***

collapse thread

***Actually I love my mother. But this woman cannot grasp how to drive a scooter. We've tried multiple scooters over many months to no avail. Has anyone chosen to push their parents in wheelchairs instead of allowing them to create carnage on a scoot?

6:18pm on 10/6/22 by trishr.

Bwahahaha! Actually my mom killed it on a scooter. 50 years of driving a golf cart came helped.

6:20pm on 10/6/22 by Jennyhirsch

She is driving a scooter from CO to WDW!?!

6:23pm on 10/6/22 by Buford T. Justice

My 92 year old stepmother is almost blind but uses a scooter -guided by my 92yo dad. She complains that its hard to keep it going fast enough... Sometimes they swap over for a rest. I am not offering to take them to wdw. Good luck w your mum :-)

6:25pm on 10/6/22 by hodg

I have my venmo ready to go. Holler of you need us :)

6:29pm on 10/6/22 by cdlla

You guys crack me up. Godspeed, @trish.

Gold, Jerry!

6:54pm on 10/6/22 by TumbleMonkeys

I would actually love to know the answer to the original question as well. We didn't have a great experience with my mother in law on her scooter last time and are thinking about the wheel chair, instead. Anyone done the wheel chair?

6:57pm on 10/6/22 by Tigger54

I have seen someone walking next to the scooter using the controls.

6:57pm on 10/6/22 by WalleandEve

I'm taking my mom and scooter for her 75th birthday in February. I wasn't too nervous, til now!

7:15pm on 10/6/22 by PackTheCar

@trish solidarity. My mom might have moved one of the extremely heavy wood benches in the Jambo House lobby during her initial learning phase. When we got back from the trip the dr said her vision was 80/20 with contacts and needs cataract surgery...

7:24pm on 10/6/22 by BlastThatPeterPan

We had good luck having a lead person clear the way so the scooter driver could just focus on following and not watching all the things. Arm up run Disney style for slow down or sudden walking

7:30pm on 10/6/22 by Jwoo

Serenity now

7:36pm on 10/6/22 by brtaylor73

I would think the park that would be so difficult is AK. Lots of ups and downs to push through.

7:38pm on 10/6/22 by youcanfly

I have plenty of soccer shin guards that you can wear in the back in your socks to protect your calves if you decide to walk in front of the scooter... just saying...

7:40pm on 10/6/22 by cdlla

I agree with Youcanfly, AK hills are steeper than you think. We pushed a good double stroller with two kids weighing a combined 100lb this summer and the hills at AK in Pandora and the monorail at TTC/MK were by far the most difficult parts.

7:56pm on 10/6/22 by KBelle

I think the difficulty of using a push wheel chair would also depend on your height. If the handles are too low, you will end up with a back ache depending on how much you do. We were doing 7-10 miles a day even with a 3-5 hr mid day break.

7:59pm on 10/6/22 by KBelle

Lots of airing of grievances here! ;)

8:10pm on 10/6/22 by JERancher

My dh likes to preface in mentioning mays trip that he loves me but he really doesn't want to ever push me in a wheel chair again.

8:15pm on 10/6/22 by melodicwords

Lol @JER!!

8:29pm on 10/6/22 by BlastThatPeterPan

I wonder if since the in park rentals go slower they may be better?

8:50pm on 10/6/22 by popupcamper

@tigger, we use a wheelchair with my adult daughter because she can't walk long distances or for long periods of time. We bought a light-weight one and it has worked out great. I can lift it to get into the car and we can fold it to take on the bus.

8:57pm on 10/6/22 by LoveMinnie

I have no advice, but wish you all the best!

9:18pm on 10/6/22 by koolaid

We've done both with my MIL. She strongly preferred the scooter so she didn't have to rely on someone pushing her.

9:31pm on 10/6/22 by royjoyahoy

They need to invent remote controlled scooters so someone else can drive :) or something like my husbands bb8 robot that is able to follow him as long as he is holding the remote :D that way you would just have to walk along side her and scooter follows

9:48pm on 10/6/22 by Totsypooh

LOL. The first time I tried a scooter at Walmart for practice, I knocked a huge display over. So embarrassing. I was terrified but I used one first time at Universal at a slow time. I used one at WDW this past June & I was fine. You have to go slow. And

10:29pm on 10/6/22 by WDW Freak

if you get in a big crowd of people after fireworks or something similar, just pull over & stop until crowd clears. You have to take your time & be patient & very vigilant around children.

10:31pm on 10/6/22 by WDW Freak

@totsy I'd rent that!

11:01pm on 10/6/22 by BlastThatPeterPan

So sorry to the people behind MIL in Under the Sea Queue Dec 20. #does not corner like it's on rails. I think there may have been a 10 minute gap b/w boardings as people were kind and would not pass. Everyone gave a cheer when we finally made it.

12:01am on 10/7/22 by WithASmileandASong

We also push DD23 in wheelchair as she can't walk distances. She is a small person and not hard to push. DH and I take turns, though I usually let him handle the hills. The strength of the pusher to control hills is a factor.

1:21am on 10/7/22 by PixiePoppins

The push wheelchairs are amazingly well balanced. But the hills creep up on you, both up and down. We rent one when DH gets tired and trade pushers between myself and our DGS. Even the 8 year old can push DH.

6:30am on 10/7/22 by SneakyDayTripper

@trishr, I laughed my head off as I read your original entry!

7:55am on 10/7/22 by TeacherGrandma

I don't have experience with this at all. Just thinking that, for safety reasons, if she truly is having trouble controlling the scooter you might opt for wheelchair. Just too many little kids around on foot that might not jump out of the way in time!

8:11am on 10/7/22 by aliceinwonderla

Update: the struggle continues. Mom crashed her scooter into a clothing rack at JCP. Driver and scooter ok, but the display took a beating. When is it time to wave the white flag?

7:30pm on 10/26/22 by trishr.

Lol!

7:31pm on 10/26/22 by Totsypooh

DM: "I don't need your help!" Also DM: "Why aren't you helping me!" I have a 77 year old toddler.....

7:33pm on 10/26/22 by trishr.

Lol!

7:39pm on 10/26/22 by ndnarchitect

Sounds like me trying to help my DFather 74 learn how to do something on his iPad.

I heart you @trishr.

7:49pm on 10/26/22 by popupcamper

SFL when I need a good laugh

8:31pm on 10/26/22 by Jewra

I push DH 75 in a wheelchair at WDW. The only park that is difficult is AK because of the bumpy terrain.

8:39pm on 10/26/22 by disneydiane

Sometimes we have to laugh so we don't cry and this had me laughing out loud. Wishing you luck, trishr!

9:24pm on 10/26/22 by kfkennedy1

I'm sending lawyers, guns and money. Use as needed. :)

9:56pm on 10/26/22 by abennett

Scooter update #2. Went to IKEA to practice, and everything was going well...until DSM accidentally pulled back on the throttle and drove through both entryways to the double elevator. She couldn't turn the scooter around quick enough and the doors....

9:44pm on 11/11/22 by trishr.

...closed behind her. I had no idea where she was. The true tragedy tho, is IKEA now only sells single servings of cinnamon rolls.

9:46pm on 11/11/22 by trishr.

Love this!!! We have push my mom in a lightweight wheelchair and it isn't too bad! I'm no physical specimen, and neither is DH and we do just fine! It's probably faster than udon a scooter, too!

9:54pm on 11/11/22 by CharWat

After DSis got so stuck on test scooter run that the store had to actually move the display so we could run, I pushed her in an wheelchair thru WDW & it can be done. It alleviates the fear of squashed children, toes, & embarrassment.

10:59pm on 11/11/22 by wgr476

11:19pm on 11/11/22 by JJT (staff)

Sorry I don't mean to be rude, but this thread has made me laugh so hard tonight.

11:39pm on 11/11/22 by h2olly

@trishr, did DSM ever emerge from the elevator? Is she missing?? Is this another @Belle cliffhanger? And, for the love of god, can the 6-pack of cinnamon rolls please return?

12:08am on 11/12/22 by gmcc

Oh my- vanished into the black hole that is IKEA. That could've been your chance to cut and run- but as it takes another hour to wind your way thru to find the exit, picking up home essentials as you go, I presume DSM caught you?

1:24am on 11/12/22 by hodg

@h2olly Same. The Ikea part...LOL..We sooooo need an update. LOL @hodg!

4:24am on 11/12/22 by ndnarchitect

Sfl for update and maybe even more laughter. Thanks for a wonderful wake up on a cold rainy day.

7:37am on 11/12/22 by Eeyores Pal

Oh my gosh the elevator, I'm sorry I laughed at this thread. I hope you and your mom also found humor in it.

7:40am on 11/12/22 by Figment20

No update? I think they're still stuck in ikea (I hate shopping in ikea!)

7:59am on 11/12/22 by hodg

If they made a left instead of a right at the Vooflatz they could be stuck behind a Fredoofle and it would take a number 17 Allen wrench to extract them.

9:47am on 11/12/22 by JJT (staff)

We found DSM at the self checkout lane. She had the IKEA guy doing everything for her, it was ridiculous. Apparently once she sits down on a scooter she can never get up. Me:"Um Mom, you can stand."

10:42am on 11/12/22 by trishr.

Lol. At least they have meatballs.

11:29am on 11/12/22 by Totsypooh

How did you know I'm looking everywhere for a fredoodle (or whatever it was) I spent hours looking for a black waste paper bin for work when we moved offices- not in household, not office supplies, not w bins. On a display of "black things" at exit.

12:47pm on 11/12/22 by hodg

Omgosh you guys! Thanks for the sympathy, the suggestions, and the hilarious comments. Also when to use a #17 allen wrench, and where to find a black waste bin.

2:07pm on 11/12/22 by trishr.

Sfl

8:23pm on 11/12/22 by Minnie64

@trishr you have made my day. Where are you going next for practice? In all seriousness, you are very sweet for hanging in there!

9:12pm on 11/12/22 by RRCfanatic

Scooter update #3. Took DSM to a craft show to work on following me through a crowd. I wore a bright orange scarf and told her to stay behind me. In less than 2 minutes she starts following someone in a GREEN jacket! I wrangled her in, but lost her...

7:35pm on 11/19/22 by trishr.

....again to the free samples at the toffee booth.

7:36pm on 11/19/22 by trishr.

I mean I would totally pick toffee samples over pretty much anything to be fair.

7:38pm on 11/19/22 by popupcamper

I feel like we have the makings of a reality show here. At the very least attach a couple go pros on the scooter and upload the videos for us liners.

7:48pm on 11/19/22 by vickiwaffles

You will need to put an Apple air tag on her, @trish.

7:49pm on 11/19/22 by Jennyhirsch

When is this trip and how many more practice sessions do you have time for?! Lol.

10:08pm on 11/19/22 by evamarie320

agree on the airbags and go pros. I smell a reality show in the making here, lol. all my sympathy, Trish, my step-dad was a demon on a scooter and mom made him walk even when he really shouldn't., because the scooter incidents were too much!

8:43am on 11/20/22 by thrasher543

When my stepmother was getting a scooter at the grocery store the manager would announce her arrival over loud speaker to warn shoppers she was there! Yup funny/not funny. Many displays were toppled!

8:51am on 11/20/22 by 58breezy

Didn't know scooters came fitted w airbags-how fast can she make it go?!!

11:57am on 11/20/22 by hodg

@eva, the trip isn't until March. I think I need to hire someone to take her to Home Depot and train her like the dog handlers do. If DSM pays attention, she gets a treat. If not, she gets zapped. I just hope if she pees in aisle 6, they don't rub...

2:44pm on 11/20/22 by trishr.

...her nose in it.

2:44pm on 11/20/22 by trishr.

I'm sure that would be easier for you @trish, but speaking for all Liners, we'd prefer you continue to train her and post updates here. ;)

10:05pm on 11/20/22 by evamarie320

I have fond memories of my late mother in law careening wildly through the house on her motor scooter, electrified tennis racket bug zapper in hand. She was a superhero! Lol thank you for the unexpected reminder

7:23am on 11/21/22 by BurkeToolandSupplyCo

Oh my goodness!! I have laughed until I cried!! TWICE!! The conversation "I don't need your help! Why aren't you helping me?!!" This sounds like something straight out of my mothers mouth! You gotta laugh. Thank you!

8:47am on 11/21/22 by herri

FOR SALE: slightly damaged scooter. Needs cleaning. Will throw in DSM for free.

4:02pm on 1/26/23 by trishr.

Scooter update #4. DSM needed to pick up a few things from Costco, so I took the scooter for her to practice. 2 hours later, we check out with her (3!) items. Dates, probiotics, and a ginormous 2 pack of Pine-Sol. I have no idea***

4:09pm on 1/26/23 by trishr.

Excellent thread.

4:13pm on 1/26/23 by whenuwish

*** why she needs 3 gallons of Pine-Sol, but whatever. As we are loading the car, she accidentally drops the Pine-Sol and it explodes on me, the scooter, and my car.

4:14pm on 1/26/23 by trishr.

So you smell like Soarin' over California? Bless you @trishr

4:17pm on 1/26/23 by lisagarcia01

***To add insult to injury, as I'm cleaning up everything, she's flirting with the old guy who's just pulled into the spot next to us.

4:18pm on 1/26/23 by trishr.

@trish Sooo funny!! You are a good sport...

4:20pm on 1/26/23 by MargoBoo

@lisa perfect response!

4:44pm on 1/26/23 by youcanfly

This is my favorite thread. When is your trip? I hope we overlap

5:08pm on 1/26/23 by Gusgus5

Oh I feel this in my bones, trishr. I have gotten dirty looks and comments by so many Disney-goers over my sister's horrible scooter driving. There are certain WDW spots where my kids point & say, "Remember when Aunt K- crashed the scooter over there?!"

5:11pm on 1/26/23 by ehk107

@WalleandEve that was possibly me, using my sister's controls, as she drives the scooter. This thread is giving me a little PTSD. But it's also got me in stitches!

5:14pm on 1/26/23 by ehk107

OMG - rereading this thread, and can't remember the last time I laughed so hard I cried! After the week I had, this was just what I needed. Also @trishr, my kids want to take your mom to IKEA and watch her go through the elevator! :)

7:30pm on 1/26/23 by daisylover78

The IKEA elevator! Omg. I just can't stop laughing.

7:44pm on 1/26/23 by caramerson

Best thread in a very long time. I will also be there in March. I both hope I run into you and hope DSM doesn't run into me! March 10-17. You?

9:18pm on 1/26/23 by Coolermama

Please tell us your trip dates. I wasn't going to bring my camera but if I can get pics for Liner Desterity Wall of Fame, I'm offering to bring it (and all of DD's shin guards if still needed).

9:57pm on 1/26/23 by cdlla

That should day Dexterity :)

10:03pm on 1/26/23 by cdlla

I'm just now reading this. The funnies thread ever! The Home Depot dog training is my absolute favorite! Hang in there Trish.

10:26pm on 1/26/23 by WalternateUniverse

Can't stop laughing! Wanna swap? My DSM got a wheelchair wheel caught on a sheet today. Stripped the whole bed while blazing down the hall. Other day she swore at me for telling her to "take it easy" going into an elevator at the home. Flew in right as...

10:56pm on 1/26/23 by MTrib

....rear door opened. Went right through to the other side and rear door closed. Now I have to find staff and explain where mom went cuz she's tooling around in the bowels of a nursing home. Can't make this stuff up. Def NOT going to IKEA.

10:59pm on 1/26/23 by MTrib

After reading this, I think loading your Mom into a Disney Parks stroller would be best. Easy to push, or if you leave her parked at a ride, someone might accidentally steal the stroller and push her to the other side of the park for you...

11:58pm on 1/26/23 by vmorrison63

Omg I love that this has been resurrected. Cracking up like a crazy person at work here. Soooo reminds me of my DM. My aunts nixed the idea of a scooter for her on their last trip for these very scenarios.

2:41am on 1/27/23 by WendyFoundHerHEA

Just read this thread for 1st time and almost spat morning coffee out several times. Gonna have to make DD14 read later - she made me take her to IKEA and was taking pics like a tourist (of merch, not DSMs in scooters)

6:02am on 1/27/23 by yvonneandrandy

It was Oct 16, 2021. I just looked and she took 70 photos! I put them in a digital album and may try to figure out how to share with you guys if interested.

6:08am on 1/27/23 by yvonneandrandy

I will admit to being slightly annoyed with DSM at the car. I am completely soaked in all-purpose cleaner, and she's over there trying to make a love connection. And I had to go back inside to get a replacement!

12:52pm on 1/27/23 by trishr.

I will also admit being embarrassed as I sped down the highway in the middle of winter with all my windows rolled down. Only 2 reasons your windows should be down ***

12:56pm on 1/27/23 by trishr.

*** in 20? weather. 1. You're smoking really skunky weed. Or 2. You've just messed your britches. I got a lot of "yeah, we see you" looks.

12:59pm on 1/27/23 by trishr.

Trip is Mar 26-31, but only 1 day at WDW. 1/30 if I'm not incarcerated by then.

1:01pm on 1/27/23 by trishr.

Lol. Reminds me of the time DD17mo had a blow out on the plane as we were doing in to land at MCO. Flight attendant was like "she has to be on your lap" I'm like "not". DH held her up, I stripped her down, threw clothes and all into barf bag, wiped her do

1:04pm on 1/27/23 by cdlla

Wiped her down, Put on clean diaper on and we walked off the stinky plane with her in just that diaper. Yikes. Wish we could have rolled down the windows.

1:06pm on 1/27/23 by cdlla

And yes. Let need know if I need to bring my camera. We'll be at HS on Mar 30 :)

1:10pm on 1/27/23 by cdlla

Planes do seem to bring out the worst in little ones. We had a few episodes travelling w DS2m with lots of flights thru Oz. Never at landing tho.

1:25pm on 1/27/23 by hodg

I needed this thread today!!! Good luck, @trishr!

2:09pm on 1/27/23 by ndnarchitect

@cdlla, that could work!

7:19pm on 1/27/23 by trishr.

@trishr, every morning my DDs ask me if there is an update on the "scooter lady" - she's famous in our house!

9:40am on 1/28/23 by daisylover78

So, I haven't kept up with this thread until today, but I read them to DM just now, since she'll be driving a scooter for the first time at WDW this coming fall. We are in hysterics over here! Thanks for sharing!

3:52pm on 1/28/23 by JERancher

Love this thread!

5:18pm on 2/1/23 by pdmccartin

I should probably apologize for my last post. I sometimes forget that certain activities are not legal in all states. And to clarify, I've haven't done either one.

5:42pm on 2/1/23 by trishr.

At first I thought the elevator antics were the best, but then I got to the flirting part :-D I think there needs to be a liner of the year, and you win both years

8:30pm on 2/1/23 by LKriz

Scooter update #5. There is hope! DSM's last two outings were remarkably uneventful, although she did try to wedge the scooter into a Kohls fitting room. Me: "this is not a body part Mom. You can leave it in the hallway."

3:35pm on 3/16/23 by trishr.

Ha!!! I love this thread. I'm glad there's been improvement but I hope that doesn't mean we won't get more hilarious updates!!!

8:46pm on 3/16/23 by kfkennedy1

She's practicing to load on the monorail.... Please stand clear of the doors... Make sure she's all the way in the room and didn't leaving a trail of clothes (or toilet paper from the restroom) behind her...

8:53pm on 3/16/23 by cdlla

How is it I missed this thread before my dads trip?!? Hilarious! And don't forget the extra scooter basket for all the shopping.

6:57am on 3/17/23 by jenc45

@jen, I gave DSM one job and that was to get a basket. Guess what we don't have? A basket. Good news... we have an IKEA tote that should work instead.

3:12pm on 3/18/23 by trishr.

Looks like this is where the story ends. DSM's back problems are worsening and she has officially backed out of the trip. Very sad. But, now all the potential drive-by scootering victims in FL can rest easy. You can thank me (or her) later.

3:13pm on 3/24/23 by trishr.

Wow, really sad for her. All these funny stories have shown just how much you all were trying to make a fun and "safe" trip for everyone.

3:25pm on 3/24/23 by youcanfly

Oh no :-(

4:01pm on 3/24/23 by hodg

Sorry to hear. We were all looking forward to following the "adventure" (though, like you say, everyone's safe). Oh, and the 6-pack of IKEA cinnamon rolls has returned, at least at our store. Enjoy your trip!

4:01pm on 3/24/23 by gmcc

But she's mastered backing out skills on the scooter then? That's tricky

4:01pm on 3/24/23 by hodg

Nooooo! I am so sorry. So painful. Both my mom and my MIL struggled with back pain.

4:05pm on 3/24/23 by Jennyhirsch

@youcan, my feelings exactly. Hoping DMom gets some relief! Holding out hope WDW is in her future and the scooter adventures won't be contained to CO IKEA and Costcos!

4:09pm on 3/24/23 by lisagarcia01

Aww, I'm sorry to hear she won't be able to make the trip!

4:18pm on 3/24/23 by desertmermaid

Oh so sorry @trish. What a bummer. Are you still going?

4:34pm on 3/24/23 by jenc45

I'm still eager to hear Scooter Update #6... I think you should rent one in her honor on 3/30 and take pics at all the rides, then make a scrapbook of it for her. That would be awesome. Heck, I'd buy one! Just an empty scooter, out front of 7DMT, SM, etc

4:49pm on 3/24/23 by DestinyCalled

Sorry to hear that her back is acting up. Love the scooter stories.

5:28pm on 3/24/23 by olddonnaduck

I nearly done this on long road trip with my parents

5:46pm on 3/24/23 by WorldTraveler34

Thinking of doing this only one night at EP around Christmas for my mil. Then I read this again and think "nope" sorry for your mom. This thread is awesome

9:21pm on 3/24/23 by snelvis

@trish- there was a segment on AFv tonight of scooters "incidents" and I was cracking up and all I could think about was your scooter stories. Lol

Need an update from @JERancher who is there now with scootered up mom

10:12pm on 9/7/23 by dolewhipped

Yes! Best thread!!!

10:17pm on 9/7/23 by royjoyahoy

I love this thread so much. And thanks for the shout-out @dole! It's definitely been interesting; I'll add more later!

10:24pm on 9/7/23 by JERancher

At least he's on the scooter my dad 77 won't use one it's pride. He would rather act like a baby have us wait til he can walk again he won't get a disability pass either. So glad he said he won't be joining us on the next trip.

6:36am on 9/8/23 by WorldTraveler34

@world while I can understand your frustration in this situation, I can also see your dad's point of view. Having men in my family at that age and older, it's hard for them to admit they can't do something. They grew up in a time when you had to be tough

8:10am on 9/8/23 by vickiwaffles

, the provider, and the head of your family. So now to admit weakness and needing assistance is not an easy thing, it fits against their entire way of life. While frustrating, appreciate the fact that he is still there to partake in these vacations.

8:12am on 9/8/23 by vickiwaffles

My dad won't either. One minute they think it's a good idea, the next no way. I agree with @vicki and would never force the issue even gently. Might rent it for me though so it's available for all.

8:51am on 9/8/23 by DLisbetterthanWDW

I'd recommend trying one at the grocery store for free

9:01am on 9/8/23 by WorldTraveler34

Ugh. Aging is so hard. From the perspective of soemone that's lost both parents - id do anything for one more Disney day with them. Even if it's just sitting on a bench on the hub doing nothing but having a Mickey bar. Take them any way they will let you

9:10am on 9/8/23 by Totsypooh

Yeah. I've lived both ends of this- lost a parent pretty early (he was in his 50s), and now struggling with an aging, less-than-mobile parent. Neither one is easy... not for the children, and not for the parents themselves. Compassion can be hard to...

9:37am on 9/8/23 by JERancher

I agree @Totsy.

9:38am on 9/8/23 by DLisbetterthanWDW

...muster sometimes, for all involved.

9:38am on 9/8/23 by JERancher

...The FEA queue will forever be known as the time she could've been sued for reckless driving.

Oh my! That's a tight queue too. But how is this thread nearly a year old??

10:15am on 9/8/23 by hodg

The good ones never die @hodg

10:41am on 9/8/23 by cdlla

@JER at least you'll laugh every time you are in that queue. I can't even think about the AKL lobby without smiling - my mom managed to move one of the gigantic wooden benches when learning to drive the ECV.

11:05am on 9/8/23 by BlastThatPeterPan

OMG, y'all. I kid you not: DM just decided she was a race car driver in WCC. Her screams added to the ambience!

11:11am on 9/8/23 by JERancher

At least she did that at WCC and not, say, enchanted Rose!

11:50am on 9/8/23 by evamarie320

Just read this entire thread for the first time! So many laughs! I know now how hard those things can be to drive! I "almost" knocked over about 1/2 a dozen people who were walking while looking at their phones and in their own little world.

I did not know this was an option. Can you drop them at any Rest Stop?

9:19am on 11/24/24 by JackOfAll

I love this thread. Took my inlaws last Xmas in scooters. They loved CP. Now one year later they are not able to go again. Treasure those moments

4:57pm on 11/24/24 by snelvis

Update: DSM just moved into independent apartment living and now has her own full-time scooter. Apparently, she is not the only danger to society as the facility requires all scooter owners to carry liability insurance. DSM thought I had told them how*

7:55pm on 5/1/25 by trishr.

*awful a driver she was.

7:56pm on 5/1/25 by trishr.

Dread the day we have a family member on one. I got a horrible headache once from the repetitive beeping of a woman who couldn't maneuver and had taken one in the restroom. The acoustics in there made it a nightmare...

9:57pm on 5/1/25 by ls2000

But DH's nightmare experience was when he had to push a wheelchair all over Six Flags unexpectedly. He is 6'4"' and it was very low. Many hills. He was miserable and annoyed.

Sure your mum will be a pro in no time, zipping in & out of this ikea elevators & all. My DF94 & DSM94- the one who can't see hear or walk much- still take it in turns on their mutual scooter all over (DF can't drive for 4wk so scooter is lifeline)

9:58am on 5/2/25 by hodg

Since this post is over 3 years old. Was mom left on the side of the road ?

9:09pm on 5/2/25 by WorldTraveler34

This bump is in honor of DSM, the worst scooter driver in history.

1:17pm on 4/15/26 by trishr.

Love this in loving memory of your DSM. Will be remembered forever along with JJ in the bushes & Mil at the table for one.

1:31pm on 4/15/26 by hodg

I'm raising a bottle of Pine-Sol to your DSM. This was really one of the best threads ever.

1:57pm on 4/15/26 by imadisneymom

This thread deserves a monthly bump. Funniest thing I've ever read on here.

3:04pm on 4/15/26 by Rjcsmom

I was hoping you'd bump this @trish. I'm crying rereading it. Partly due to the hilarity but also partly because she's gone. Hugs to you. Thanks for sharing her with us.

3:15pm on 4/15/26 by evamarie320

I started reading this without realizing how old the original post was. Sigh. I needed these chuckles today. Headed to WDW in September for my DM's 76th birthday. In moments of frustration I will think back to this.

With no WDW trip on the horizon, I've been missing from chat for a long time, but I remember this thread (& commented a few years back). I'm sorry for your loss, @trishr, but thank you so much for sharing your family's fun stories with us!

6:09pm on 6/24/26 by desertmermaid

Thank you for the bump @hodg! I am really praying DM88 can handle the crowds without taking out any small children. I'm def planning on employing the soccer pad trick.

I was an hour after my Safari time for a lightning lane. Before the ride went down. I went to a blue umbrella cm and explain the situation that I couldn't modify, change or make a new Safari lightning Lane and they just gave me a anytime LL.

Also, for 4 days in a row I canceled all my lightning Lanes each day around noon. No problems at all

That Kidani is better than "only" 12% under median looks. Last year only saw about 6 Sept listings around this price as summer rolled through & most were priced higher. TL;DR: A WINNER.

Looking at the price chart for all dates in the year, there are certainly parts of the year where you'll see significantly lower prices for this room - but August is NOT typically one of them. 32% under that median is a great deal!

10:34am on 5/18/26 by JJT (staff)

Checked for fun: the direct cash rate for this Aulani 1BR Island Gardens view on these dates is $1,753 per night after tax. Little bit 'o savings there.

Just a question about rentals. If not rented, is the money lost?

10:44am on 5/25/26 by 58breezy

@58, do you mean for the owner? It depends. Some points need to be used or owner loses them. But often if it's not rented the owner just cancels and puts those points on another rental.

10:52am on 5/25/26 by evamarie320

If you mean for the re tee, yes if you rent points and then don't use them it's often a loss for the renter. Some agencies have exceptions or "insurance" tho.

The VAST majority of December BLT Studios appear right at 11 months. This is at the bottom of the price range for any length. It would be very unlikely to see another 7-nighter this low from this point on...

I know! I'm working on a possible points Swan stay at the Aug/Sept time frame and I'm going to struggle not booking a sub $200 deal if one shows up on my dates.

Welp, David's added TWO more almost identical Savannah listings: Same dates/length but $400/night instead of $383. But IMHO assessment still holds: While these are closer to median even at 6-nights, being Savannah view too really pushes these into...

How are park crowd levels next week Wednesday and Thursday before the holiday rush? I checked the calendar but I was curious of people's experience.

10:41am by A113

A few years ago I was in the parks in the week leading up to July 4th snd it got noticeably more crowded the closer we got to the actual holiday. We were glad to be leaving on 7/2. But that was pre pandemic.
