Hi Joanne,
Thank you so much for visiting planDisney with your question! We on the planDisney panel love helping guests to plan magical vacations.
I have also traveled with a family member who had a difficult time with the amount of walking one does on a typical Walt Disney World theme park day. While at first she did not want to rent an Electric Conveyance Vehicle (ECV), a few days into the trip she decided it would be a good idea, and we rented one for her on our day at
Disney's Animal Kingdom. She then asked to rent one for each remaining day of the trip - it made her days so much more pleasant!
You can indeed
rent an ECV vehicle at the Walt Disney World theme parks, as well as at the
Walt Disney World water parks and
Disney Springs. When renting an ECV directly from a theme park, water park, or Disney Springs, the ECV will need to remain at the original location and cannot be removed. If you are interested in renting an ECV for the length of your stay that can move with your sister from location to location, you can check out the Disney Featured Provider ScooterBug. Information on ScooterBug can be found on the webpage on Disney ECV rentals that I linked at the beginning of this paragraph.
I hope that this information is helpful for you, Joanne! Have a wonderful time planning your trip, and please do not hesitate to let us know if you have any further questions.
