Wheelchair & ECV Guide to Disney World

Yes. Disney rents manual wheelchairs and ECVs (electric conveyance vehicles) at every theme park, water park and Disney Springs. Wheelchairs are $12/day, or $10/day if you pre-pay a length-of-stay rental at your first theme park (theme parks only, and not always available at peak times). ECVs are $65/day with no length-of-stay option. Deposits differ by location: $20 at the theme parks, $100 at the water parks and Disney Springs. You must be 18 with photo ID, and daily rentals transfer between locations on a single payment — keep your receipt. Rentals are first-come, first-served and do sell out, so consider bringing your own or renting from ScooterBug, the Disney Featured Provider, which can deliver to a Disney Resort hotel without you being present. Buena Vista Scooter and Cloud of Goods are other third-party options.

Many Disney World rides require guests to transfer from a wheelchair or ECV to the ride vehicle. This includes: Space Mountain, TRON Lightcycle / Run, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, Tiana's Bayou Adventure, and others. Some rides like Haunted Mansion and Pirates of the Caribbean offer accessible vehicles that accommodate standard wheelchairs. Check Disney's accessibility guide for the current full list before your visit.

Most Disney World queues are wheelchair accessible, but some older attractions still have accessibility limitations. Disney provides a Guidebook for Guests with Disabilities at Guest Relations and at DisneyWorld.com. ECVs cannot enter some queues due to width; Cast Members will provide a standard wheelchair as a loaner for the queue portion of those attractions.
