Obviously Disney has a new transportation device for the park.
Meet the Disney Segway.

They are not in the open but you just have to ask for them. They really look dangerous and I can see all kinds of problems and injuries heading your way.

I've heard of ECVs that allow one to stand and I knew they were allowed in the parks but I've never seen one. I didn't know Disney was going to start renting them out.


Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long.

We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious…
and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

Keep moving forward

That backdrop doesn't look like any Disney background I've ever seen - are you sure that's not Busch Gardens in Williamsburg?

That plain plywood doesn't look like Disney theming, either...

These are from Bush Gardens but I just read from some one who is always very reliable that Disney has them also just "in the back".
I think they keep them out of side because it will become a very popular gadget for those that don't NEED one but just for fun rent one.

Was that a 2 way EVC? Looks painful. I agree, don't let those in the parks, it would be tacky looking and I bet the SG would try to turn it into a vw bug! 100's of clowns..... :eek:
