Disney need to ensure that the scooter rider knows how to handle their scooter. Maybe do a 5 minute block of instruction before they rent out a scooter?
I love it when you use October 1, 2021 picture of the crowd. That was WDW 50th celebration day. It was really crowded on Main St. due to merchandise line and 50th anniversary greeting that morning.
Now, as for scooters, I try to help them by walking in front or behind them. They need to still be polite to people by saying excuse me.
I use a scooter when in WDW. I try to avoid accidents but people are on their phones or just not paying attention and walk in front of me or stop ! Both parties need to be aware of others.
I use a scooter while at WDW. People just walk right in front of me as if I’m not there. OR worse yet they see me and still step right in front of me. SMH
As a mobility challenged person, I use a wheelchair in the parks. I can’t count the number of times people have almost tripped over me and my wheelchair because they just don’t see me! My husband has had strollers rammed into his legs because people pushing strollers aren’t watching what they’re doing. This has gotten worse since everyone is on their phones checking wait times, making reservations, deciding where to go next. It’s awful. And I’ve been cussed out when someone (not paying attention) tripped over my chair!!!
Years ago my husband and I were waiting to get into an attraction and a woman drove over his foot. Not just drove over but actually stopped on his foot. When we tried to get her to back up off of his foot she literally turned her head away from us. Finally her husband convinced her that she was hurting my husband and that she was indeed on his foot. No apology, she wouldn’t even look in our direction. Thankfully his foot was just badly bruised, it could have been much worse. Had it been a child I have no doubt that their foot would have been broken.
I understand the need for some people to use mobility scooters, but many users think they are entitled because they are on scooter. Just because you are on one doesn’t give you rights above everyone else in parks/resorts
Most Disney parks around the world have dense crowds and pathways not designed for EVC’s some resorts such as Paris possitivly promote a no EVC’s enviroment with only offering manual wheelchairs but still excepting privately hired EVC’s but they are very few round the park each day.
It is amazing to me how the amount of scooters have increased over the years in the park. Not everyone that rents one actually needs it. They just do not want to walk, but that is what they need to do. People in the USA have become increasingly fatter and fatter. Instead of trying to eat right and exercise, they look for the easy way out. We need to change.

Accidents like this are why we need better crowd management at Disney.

I agree, people see scooters and walk right in front of them. People, these do not stop on a dime!
