    Hi. Looking to buy my own 3 wheeled scooter and use in DW. Newer models are 3 wheeled, and satisfy the rules for entry to park. But you can also buy foldable ones that are the size of a plane carryon when folded. Can you carry it on the DW buses?

    Hello, Jane, and thanks for bringing your question to planDisney! We're a panel of guests who love to help other guests plan their next magical vacation! It looks like you'll be visiting Walt Disney World Resort in a few months, and I'm so excited for you! 

    Walt Disney World Property Rules do not have any policies about foldable mobility scooters. Guests are to fold strollers when using Disney bus transportation, so I think it's safe to assume that you can do the same with your ECV. As a mom of six, I have taken my share of double strollers onto Disney buses, many of them quite bulky. It will be up to the Cast Member, of course, but I wouldn't expect a problem.

    Entering the theme parks may be a bit different. Since these are new devices, many Security Cast Members may not be familiar with them. My suggestion would be to ride the scooter to security, so that they can see it is, in fact, a mobility scooter, and not a folded chair or recreational device.

    Summer is a great time to visit Walt Disney World, and particularly this summer. There are so many new things to do, as well as reimagined attractions. There's Cool KIDS' SUMMER, Soarin' Across America, Rock 'N' Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets, The Magic of Disney Animation, and the recently updated Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin - and that's just to name a few! It's going to be so fun! Disney Parks Blog has all the details. 

    I hope this helps, Jane, and that everything goes smoothly on your trip! You are going to make so many magical memories! If you have any more questions, please come back and see us here at planDisney. We're always happy to help!
