When we were there in the 2000s, I didn't even think of them as disabled scooters. They seemed like scooters for fat ppl, period

The park is big and they were too out of shape to manage it. This was not about disabled. I don't even remember that being a discussion. I think for those who need it it's great but that is probably 1-2 percent of the users.

If the users actually walked, they would eventually be able to manage life without them.

Starting new scooter thread. JJ - you obviously have never been to Disney in the last 10 years and also don’t have experience attending such a place while being responsible for children. I’ve never been annoyed by somebody in a scooter anywhere else besides Disney. - By BBA August 18, 2026 at 06:14:48 PM
- Have not been to Disney in years, people are already annoying I can't imagine a park full of scooters* - By detroitbry August 18, 2026 at 07:15:19 PM
- 1) Disney sounds like a painful experience, 2) people on vehicles (bikes, scooters, motorized wheelchairs ) shouldn't be intermixing with crowded walking areas. 3) this is America, id expect disability percs to be abused and abusing them to be used as a status symbol - By Arctic August 18, 2026 at 06:53:26 PM

    - yea that's just unbelievable to me, providing the fat, lame and lazy scooters that make everyone else's experience worse is just insane. - By Arctic August 18, 2026 at 07:03:40 PM
      - The lame? Maybe we should just be shot.* - By jjwalker August 18, 2026 at 08:08:36 PM
      - It was very noticeable and we were annoyed and laughed about it, but it really didn't affect us much that I recall. Sounds like it is worse now.... - By Rich August 18, 2026 at 07:06:51 PM
        
        the widespread championing of the abuse of accomodations for the disabled (service animals, electric scooters, handicap parking passes, prescription drugs) was great foreshadowing of the nations embrace of a con man like Trump* - By Arctic August 18, 2026 at 07:14:41 PM
        
        Hard to disagree.* - By Rich August 18, 2026 at 07:33:24 PM
- We were shocked by the scooters over 20 years ago at Disney. My wife and I were talking about it daily and I thought they should be banned in most cases. These are not disabled people - By Rich August 18, 2026 at 06:34:07 PM
- Just wait until the Disney scooter people start reffing the score.* - By Cap August 18, 2026 at 06:31:57 PM
  - Lol.* - By MasterBates August 18, 2026 at 06:44:30 PM
    - Don’t forget about me, guys * - By BBA August 18, 2026 at 06:46:11 PM
      - Dance, bitch.* - By MasterBates August 18, 2026 at 06:48:04 PM
        
        But guys, I wanted to post about the new specials at Chili’s. Look over here please!* - By BBA August 18, 2026 at 06:50:21 PM
        
        Here boy! Here boy! (Holds up a treat) Dance for me!* - By MasterBates August 18, 2026 at 06:52:26 PM
        
        I had no idea bry mocking you hurt that bad. Do you want me to delete those posts next time, buddy?* - By BBA August 18, 2026 at 07:01:25 PM
        
        Jesus Christ, now you are bringing bry into it just because Cap destroyed you over that stupid “reffing the score” shit? Lol.* - By MasterBates August 18, 2026 at 08:42:12 PM
  - Douche chills, cap. Remember when you immediately tried to make fun of me for first using that term only for it now to have become commonplace on the board?* - By BBA August 18, 2026 at 06:39:47 PM
- I asked sincerely if it was actually an annoyance. I can see that, or at a grocery store. Who cares about an airport like suede though?* - By jjwalker August 18, 2026 at 06:28:57 PM
  - Moving the comment that I just posted below up here for suede's benefit... - By rkm August 18, 2026 at 07:11:36 PM
    - Ok cool. Hook em 🤘 (nm) - By suede August 18, 2026 at 07:15:39 PM
      - ???* - By rkm August 18, 2026 at 07:18:35 PM
  - My issue at airports are people that need special help to board but then deplane with everybody else. That doesn’t make sense * - By BBA August 18, 2026 at 06:38:22 PM
  - deleted for being unnecessarily antagonistic, I am sorry. (nm) - By suede August 18, 2026 at 06:37:19 PM
  - Because airports are even more congested than amusement parks. - By GritsGoBlue August 18, 2026 at 06:36:59 PM
    - Same at DTW * - By Spirit August 18, 2026 at 06:40:02 PM
    - That's where we diverge - the golf carts are a major annoyance and a safety hazard. I shouldn't have to dodge a cart full of 300 lb boomers being driven point to point like livestock. (nm) - By suede August 18, 2026 at 06:38:48 PM
- "The entitlement of some of these people is also amazing. Driving super fast when they shouldn’t. Blocking traffic while they talk to each other. Overall, completely disrupting the park" - yep * - By Spirit August 18, 2026 at 06:18:48 PM
  - That does not mean that they are not "entitled" to use a scooter. It means that you can tell them to get the fuck out of the way, like I do with assholes on scooters at the grocery store while I bump into them with my cart.* - By rkm August 18, 2026 at 07:40:42 PM
