Hi Bob,
Thanks for stopping by
planDisney with a question about
ECV (scooter) rentals. I'm so glad you're thinking ahead so you'll know what to expect!
ECV and wheelchair rentals are on a first-come, first-served basis. When visiting
EPCOT, you'll find rental desks at the Main Entrance and the International Gateway. My mom travelled with me on a recent Disney trip and picked up an ECV rental at the International Gateway - it was very quick and easy.
After scanning into the park, head to your left toward
World Traveler. You can enter through the shop or walk around the outside, and there you’ll find a Cast Member ready to assist, along with a fleet of ECVs and wheelchairs. If you’ve already rented an ECV earlier in the day at another theme park, present your receipt at the next rental location, and you can pick up another ECV (subject to availability).
A little tip from my family’s experience: many quick-service dining locations, such as
Connections Café and outside the restaurant at World Celebration Gardens, make perfect places to pause and recharge. It’s always nice to take a short break, plug in your ECV, enjoy a snack, and be ready for more EPCOT fun!
Wishing you the most magical visit as you explore all the sights, sounds, and flavours around World Showcase!
