    My name is Chris, I secured a spot for the springtime surprise in April 2025. I have an elderly mom coming that for long walking would need a scooter are we able to rent. Also do all on site hotels have free shuttle to the parks.

    Hi Chris,

    Welcome to planDisney!

    I am delighted to hear that you are registered for runDisney's Springtime Surprise Weekend! I trust you are making plans to customize your runDisney package with a Disney Resorts Collection hotel and theme park tickets. Yes, you will be happy to know that Disney resort hotels all offer complimentary resort transportation. We use this transportation to get to the theme parks, water parks, and Disney Springs.

    Now, regarding the scooter, take a look at the information on Electric Conveyance Vehicle (ECV) Rentals. We have rented these in the past and cast members were quite helpful throughout the process. Just know that they are not available to rent at the resort hotels and are available on a first come, first serve basis. If your mom will need one at the resort hotel, I suggest that you rent from the Disney featured provider, ScooterBug. They can deliver the ECV to your Disney resort hotel.

    I also recommend that you take a few moments to review all of the services for guests with disabilities. Download the theme park guide maps for guests with disabilities. And take some time to study the layout of each theme park. I always plan with geography in mind so that we make good use of our time and are not adding unnecessary steps. When I make our advanced dining reservations, for example, I might make a dinner reservation at a dining location near the entrance/exit of a park or I might make that reservation back at our resort hotel.

    Chris, I hope this helps! The good news is that you have time to plan. This time with your mom will be special. If you have not yet considered it, I suggest Memory Maker so that you will have access to all of your digital photo downloads taken with Disney PhotoPass® Service Photographers. The photos my family has taken over the years remind me each day of the memories from each trip. So, make the memories with your mom and be sure to capture those with some fabulous photos!

    Magic and memories,
    Donyell
