The Scooter Scoop

Everything about mobility, traveling, fixing, and using the One Sexy Scooter and its companion products that make the list. Plus background material on how being handicapped or having a disability may change how you do something, but it doesn't stop you from doing it.

Traveling to Disney World with a Scooter

Originally published April 18, 2018

Sorry it has been so long since I posted. We actually went to Disney World in January and stayed at the Marriott Sabal Palms, right behind the World Center Marriott. This was the first time we traveled to Disney with the Triad 3-wheeled scooter, and my husband couldn't have been a happier camper.

The Good Parts of Using a Triad Scooter at Disney:

  • People didn't walk in front of him. The scooter is higher so people could see him.
  • We knew the scooter would work.
  • We were prepared. We drove down from MA (in a snowstorm) with our AWD Toyota Sienna outfitted with a Bruno Joey lift that we had installed by Mobility Works in NH. 
  • It only takes two minutes to load or unload the scooter. 
  • It was eye candy. I couldn't count the number of "cools" by both adults and kids when they saw it.
  • The battery lasted and lasted and lasted. No problem going 14 miles at Epcot!
  • We were able to take it on both the monorail and the ferry. (We have a great video on the proper way to go into and out of the monorail with the Triad scooter. You can actually turn around so you don't have to go backwards.)

The Bad Parts of Using a Triad Scooter at Disney

  • Hubby forgot to charge it one night so the light went to yellow one day at Epcot as we were leaving.
