Guests visiting Disney World may need to rent an electric convenience vehicle for mobility assistance while walking long distances in the parks. These rentals are available at all four theme parks, both water parks, and Disney Springs, but must be returned to the same location where they were rented. Each park offers courtesy wheelchairs at entrances, though guests should ask Cast Members for help if none are visible. Renting daily costs eighty-five dollars with a twenty-dollar refundable deposit, and multi-day rentals are not offered. Availability operates on a first-come, first-served basis, though guests can reserve for later use within the same day if needed. During peak times, a virtual waitlist system is used, with no priority given to paid rentals hopping between parks. EPCOT uniquely has two rental locations, and Cast Members cannot deliver scooters between them. Only one person may operate an ECV regardless of total weight, and operators must be at least eighteen years old with valid photo identification. Rain covers are not provided, but ponchos and clips can protect devices from weather. ScooterBug is the only third-party vendor endorsed by Disney, allowing drop-offs at resorts without guest presence. Disney transportation options like buses, Skyliners, monorails, and specific boats accommodate ECVs with assistance. Some resort launches and smaller water taxis do not allow ECVs. Photos showing ride vehicle accessibility are available on official websites.
