Let's talk about mobility and accessibility, Ciara! I'm thrilled to welcome you to planDisney and answer your question about ECV rentals. Let's see how we can keep you moving and grooving throughout your vacation.
I spoke with a Cast Member named Alvin and he let me know that ECV rental charges are subject to Florida sales tax. The vast majority of Walt Disney World Resort, including all four theme parks, is located in Orange County where the tax rate at the time of this response is 6.5%. If you take your daily ECV rental rate and do some quick math with the tax rate, you'll get a good idea of what your daily charges will be, not including your refundable deposit. I recommend checking out the
ECV Rentals page on the Disney World website for everything you'll need to know before your magical vacation begins.
When you're on the go or en route to your theme park, water park, or shopping destination, you can toggle the "Guest Services" icon on the resort map in the
My Disney Experience app to see ECV rental locations. You may also find the
Mobility section of the
Services for Guests with Disabilities page on the website useful, especially when it comes to transportation around the resort area and experiencing attractions at the theme parks. I also want to confirm that you can indeed use gift cards for your rental fees, and I think that's a great strategy to help you budget!
That should be everything you need to know to make getting around Disney World a breeze, Ciara! I'm so glad I could connect you with this information, and I hope it has made planning your visit that much easier. I am wishing you an enchanted visit to The Most Magical Place on Earth!
Stay magical,
Scott
