It's only pejorative because it was the normal word years ago. All terms such as that become pejorative with standard usage, at which time they become politically incorrect. It's the natural progression of words, and frankly I think it's stupid. Look at the various words used to describe african-american/negro/coloured/black people. All those words were at one point the common, politcally correct usage - all are now considered politically incorrect. It's silly.

Besides, I'm quite suspicious that the people at Disney World in scooters aren't really crippled, they're lazy and don't feel like walking. This is evidenced by watching them park their scooters and wait in line for rides with apparent ease.
