Ready to make some magical memories — without the marathon walking? ✨ Whether you need a bit of extra support or you're cruising on four wheels, Walt Disney World makes it easy to navigate the parks with comfort and independence. 💪♿

From classic wheelchairs to electric convenience vehicles (aka scooters), Disney’s got options to help everyone explore the magic at their own pace.

Let’s roll through the details! 🛼


💡 What Are Your Mobility Options?

Disney offers two main types of rentals:

🔹 Wheelchairs:

Manual, push-yourself (or get-a-buddy) style. Perfect for guests who can move independently or with a little help.

  • Cost: $12/day or $10/day with Length of Stay rental

  • Available at: All 4 theme parks, water parks, and Disney Springs

🔹 ECVs (Electric Conveyance Vehicles):

Aka scooters 🛵. These are motorized and super popular for guests with mobility challenges who want to zip through the parks with ease.

  • Cost: $65/day + refundable deposit ($20–$100 depending on location)

  • Available at: Same as wheelchairs — just keep in mind these go fast!

⚠️ Important: Both options are first-come, first-served and cannot be taken between locations — so you’ll need to return them before park hopping.
But hang onto your receipt! You won’t have to pay again. 🙌


 

🏨 Staying Onsite? Rent Like a Pro

If you want a device for the entire trip (not just in the parks), Disney has featured providers who will deliver scooters or wheelchairs right to your resort — no hassle, no lines.

One great option is ScooterBug, Disney’s preferred vendor. You’ll find:

  • ✅ Multi-day rentals

  • ✅ Flexible pick-up/drop-off

  • ✅ Extra features like cup holders and baskets 🧃🧺

You can also bring your own! Personal wheelchairs and scooters are totally allowed in parks, on transportation (buses, monorails, Skyliner), and even into attractions. 🚌🚠


✨ Extra Accessibility Perks

Whether you rent or bring your own wheels, here are even more ways Disney rolls out the red carpet:

♿ Accessible Transportation

  • All Disney buses, monorails, Skyliner gondolas, and watercraft are wheelchair- and ECV-accessible.

  • Just let a Cast Member know, and they’ll help with secure boarding!

  • Guests on ECVs may be asked to transfer to a regular seat for safety.

🅿️ Disability Parking

  • Designated accessible parking spots are available at every park and resort.

  • You’ll need a valid disability permit, and some locations allow you to skip the tram entirely!

🧑🦽 Cushions & Transfers on Attractions

  • Many attractions offer cushioned seating and accessible boarding.

  • In some cases, guests may need to transfer from their chair or scooter — Cast Members are happy to guide, though they cannot lift.

🪑 Show & Theater Seating

  • Reserved accessible seating is available in most theaters and entertainment venues. Just ask a Cast Member for assistance!

🚻 Companion Restrooms

  • Located throughout all parks and resorts, these larger restrooms make it easier for caregivers to assist.

🧠 Combining With DAS

  • If you also experience sensory or cognitive challenges, the DAS pass can work alongside your mobility accommodations for the smoothest experience ever!


🧾 How to Rent – Step by Step

  1. 🎟 Head to the rental location near the park entrance (there’s signage — and friendly Cast Members!)

  2. 💵 Pay for the day — or the full length of stay

  3. 🚗 Cruise through the park in comfort!

  4. 🚪 Return your wheels before exiting the park or boarding a bus/monorail/etc.


 

❓FAQs – Fast Facts for Smooth Cruising

Can I take my rental on the monorail or Skyliner?
Disney rentals stay inside the parks — but your personal wheelchair or scooter can go on all transportation.

Can I pre-reserve a Disney wheelchair or ECV?
Nope — it’s first-come, first-served. Get there early if you can!

Is there a weight limit?
Yes! ECVs generally have a maximum weight of 450 lbs.

What if I’m staying offsite?
Third-party vendors (like ScooterBug) will still deliver to nearby hotels or vacation rentals — just book in advance.


💖 Why It Matters

Mobility shouldn’t be a barrier to magic. 🏰 Whether you’re rolling into Cinderella Castle, dancing with Mickey, or enjoying a show from the front row, Disney makes sure every guest has access to the full experience — with comfort, dignity, and plenty of pixie dust. ✨💫


🧳 Final Thoughts

From the moment you arrive to your very last Mickey bar, Disney’s wheelchair and scooter services help you feel confident, supported, and ready to roll through the magic. Whether you’re renting in the parks or bringing your own wheels from home, just know this:

🛞 Every guest deserves to feel included — and every guest deserves to make unforgettable memories. 💕
