Hi James,
Thanks for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel with such a thoughtful question. My mom recently had leg surgery and made use of a scooter for a while. Admittedly, she's not a great driver (!), so we all had to stay clear, but it was of great use to her during her recovery!
All of the four Theme Parks have a particular location close to the entrance that makes getting to the Magic a bit easier. When you get to the
Auto Plaza, let the Cast Member know your plans, and they will direct you to the drop-off location. From there it is a quick jaunt to all the fun! Once you have dropped your mother off, follow the signs to lead you back to the entrance to the parking lot. From there, you can drop off your car and join your mom.
If she doesn't want to transport her home scooter to the Parks, she can
rent one once she arrives, or use a Disney Featured Provider who will deliver one to your hotel for use throughout her stay. If she chooses to rent an ECV at the Parks, she will pick up and drop off at the same location in the Park. If you want to
Park Hop, all she needs to do is present her receipt at the next Park to get another ECV.
James, if you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask. I hope your visit is practically perfect in every way!
