Just a quick question...will my hubby stay on the ECV in most lines & just park it before getting on the ride or does it have to be parked like strollers before we get in line?

In most cases he will be able to stay on the evc until shortly before he gets on the ride. There are a few exceptions and he will be taken to another entrance of the ride where he can get on. When I had ro use an evc because of a broken ankle i was able to hobble a couple steps to get on the ride by myeslf and everything worked smoothly. Hope it goes well for you!

There are also a few rides where he would have to switch to a manual chair to go through the line, if he needed to stay on the ECV

Most of the lines mom stayed on her scooter until right before boarding then she parked it and boarded the ride. Like they said there may be a few exceptions.

The only lines where I remember that you had to switch or try to walk were Test Track (and since I was solo that was a tough one), Pirates of the Caribbean, and Jungle Cruise. Pirates was difficult also because the line is so dark.

Pirates is difficult, you must park out in front of the building and it's a long walk. There are wheelchairs there that you can use to get to the loading area. I hate using them as my loving family tends to run into things (people, walls, posts, displays, etc.), but do it I must.

It's even harder if you're solo, as I was when visiting Pirates. FYI-CM's will not push wheelchairs, so you're kind of stuck if you're solo.
