Actually, if you search around this area, you will see that we take pictures of bus lifts, boat ramps, ride vehicles, attraction seating, accessible Minnie Vans, roll-in showers, and yes, even elevators.
We take pictures because being able to see - with a picture that depicts a mobility device with its user - can tell us lots of information at a glance about what to expect.
It can be important information for our friends here, even if it seems like a simple thing to folks who are never around mobility devices. Because your Mom used a
scooter, I’m willing to bet you have learned a lot of things about WDW that might surprise someone who has never accompanied a loved one with a mobility device. If your Mom will need to use a scooter the next time she visits WDW, just knowing where that elevator is makes your trip a tiny bit easier. Knowing how many people will fit, makes your trip a tiny bit easier. Add that up multiple times a day for things like ramps, bathrooms, and yes, elevators, across your trip at WDW, and it takes a bit of stress away from what can be a stressful experience for everyone who travels with your Mom.
My family experienced this learning curve when I had to start using a scooter at WDW. We learned pathways to elevators and ramps, companion restrooms and accessible seating, among other things. And everything that we learned like that made our next trip a little easier, and a little less stressful because we knew what to expect.
We all freely share that info here; there’s no gatekeeping on that kind of information.
Thanks for the information about the elevator; just posting it means someone else who is searching for that very information might find it.
