Renting Wheelchairs and ECVs at Disney World (2026 Updates)

Additional Disney World Wheelchair Information:

• Limited availability: Wheelchairs and ECVs are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Quantities are limited, so it’s smart to arrive early.

• Daily rentals: You pay once for that day. That does not mean you can take the same wheelchair from park to park. Return it when you leave, keep the receipt, and show that receipt at the next Disney location. You’ll get another wheelchair if one is available.

• Length of Stay rentals: If you need a wheelchair for several theme-park days, you can prepay at the first park you visit and save a little money. Length of Stay tickets only work between Disney theme parks, not at the water parks or Disney Springs. They also may not be offered during busy seasons.

• Disability Access Service (DAS): DAS is separate from renting a wheelchair or ECV. Disney currently offers DAS for guests who, because of a developmental disability such as autism, have a hard time waiting in a regular queue. Using a wheelchair or ECV does not automatically qualify you for DAS. You register through a live video chat, starting up to 60 days before your visit. There’s no in-person sign-up at Guest Relations, but if you didn’t register ahead of time, you can still do the video chat on the day you visit. Check with Disney or The Vacationeer for the current rules.

How to Return a Wheelchair Rental at Disney World

Disney wheelchairs must stay where you rented them. Don’t take them on a bus, boat, or Skyliner to another park.

When you leave the theme park, water park, or Disney Springs, return the wheelchair to the rental counter.

At a water park or Disney Springs, you’ll get your $100 deposit back when you return it. Heading somewhere else the same day? Keep the receipt and show it at the next rental counter. You can pick up another wheelchair if they have one.

Tips for Renting a Wheelchair at Disney World

• Disney does not take reservations for wheelchair rentals
• Wheelchairs are first come, first served
• Quantities are limited, so arrive early
• You must be 18 or older to rent. A valid photo ID is required
• Disney’s wheelchairs have a 350-pound weight limit
• They’re designed for one person only

Can You Bring Your Own Wheelchair to Disney World?

Yes. You can bring your own wheelchair to Walt Disney World and use it in the theme parks, water parks, Disney Springs, restaurants, and resort hotels.

Personal devices must still follow Disney’s rules. In general, they should be built for one rider, stay stable when stopped, have at least three wheels, move at a walking pace, and stay within about 36 inches wide and 52 inches long.

One extra thing if you’re using Disney buses: the bus securement area is smaller than that park limit. Many buses go by a 30-inch by 48-inch box, so measure before you go if you plan to ride the bus in your own chair or scooter.

Don’t leave wheelchairs, ECVs, luggage, or strollers sitting in hotel hallways. Keep them inside your room.

Can you rent an ECV at Disney World?

ScooterBug is Disney’s Featured Provider for stroller, wheelchair, and ECV rentals. Disney still rents ECVs at the parks on its own. ScooterBug’s big advantage is hotel delivery. If you’re staying at a Disney Resort hotel, they can drop off and pick up through Bell Services, and you don’t have to be there.

That’s the main reason many guests use them for a Length of Stay rental, especially if they want the same scooter at the hotel, on Disney transportation, and in more than one park.

You can pre-order by calling (800) 726-8284, visiting scooterbug.com/orlando, or working with our recommended Disney travel agency, The Vacationeer. They can help you plan and book every aspect of your Disney trip, including your ECV reservations, at no additional charge.
