Hiya, Pal! Welcome to planDisney!
Thanks for stopping by with your thoughtful question. I recently spent a few days in the Most Magical Place on Earth with my 80-year-old mom, who rented an ECV (Electric Conveyance Vehicle), and there's no way we could've experienced everything we experienced in the parks without it! She definitely didn't slow us down. We could barely keep up with her!
I'm so thankful you're thinking ahead, my friend, because Disneyland does provide
mobility devices for rent, including ECVs and manual wheelchairs, and currently ECVs cost $60.00 per day, as well as a sales tax fee. (Prices subject to change.)
ECVs may not be reserved in advance so plan to arrive early at the
Stroller Shop located outside the theme parks, just east of the Disneyland Park Main Entrance, as a limited number of ECVs and wheelchairs are available for rent on a first-come, first-served basis. I confirmed with a friendly Cast Member that the Stroller Shop opens one hour prior to park opening. (Be aware that hours are subject to change without notice.)
However, if you are planning to stay at a
Disneyland Resort Hotel, arrangements can be made to pre-order an ECV or wheelchair (or stroller!) to be delivered to your hotel for a length-of-stay rental. For contact information, visit the
Disneyland website and find details under "Disney Featured Provider." I love the perks of being a Guest at a Disneyland Resort Hotel!
Tip: When you arrive to the parks, stop by any
Guest Relations location and ask for a
Guide for Guests with Disabilities. This detailed guide map indicates where and how to access attractions and was a game-changer for me and my mom as we navigated the parks. Each attraction varies, so your best bet is to speak with a Cast Member at the attraction you wish to experience, to discuss what your options might be. There are multiple services available for those with mobility disabilities. My mom was able to ride any of the attractions she wished, including the carrousel, which she hadn't done since she was a little girl! It was a magical moment for us all.
Well, my friend, I have no doubt you'll be off and rolling along in no time! I hope this information has been helpful! If you have any additional questions as you prepare for your visit, please don't hesitate to
reach out again. Happy to help!
Your pal,
McCayla
