Mobility issues shouldn’t have to stop anyone from visiting and enjoying Disney World.
Disney makes it easier for guests by giving them the option to rent electronic conveyance vehicles, or ECVs at all four parks.
Disney’s ECVs had been in use for a while, and it was time for an upgrade. Today we spotted some of the newer scooters in EPCOT!
The new rides are blue and black, with 2 wheels in back and a single wheel in the front. This helps with steering and navigating through crowds.
With a head support and arm rests, we are hoping these scooters are as comfortable as possible. There is also a basket on the front to hold necessities or any merch you happen to purchase, plus it has a clear pocket to add your name. If you need to park your ECV while dining indoors or riding an attraction, it will be easier to find that way.
Before renting, make sure you research ahead of time!
- ECVs are available on a first-come, first-served basis. They are limited and Disney can run out; at that point, you will be added to a wait list.
- At the Disney World theme parks, they cost $50 a day to rent, with a refundable $20 deposit; at Disney World water parks and Disney Springs, they cost $50 a day with a refundable $100 deposit.
- Once you pay for the day you are all set! They convey between parks, so if you are Park Hopping you don’t have to pay more than once per day.
- Rentals are per day and you can’t pay ahead.
- If you so wish, you can also rent from an outside vendor! Just make sure they fit Disney’s specifications.

3 wheels are going to be a problem , even with “anti tipping” mini wheels in the front corners.
Not sure why it’s believed that ECVs needed to be able to handle “better” with a single post steering wheel but they will have less rolling resistance and maybe a little more range with a full charge. I just see someone making a fast turn on the stick, tipping a corner down which drags and catches up on the ground and then the whole thing goes over. Or the corners run over someone’s foot with the corner and doing more damage to the other person than a run over foot with a rubber wheel.
This will come back to haunt the parks.
