Updated April 2026. A complete guide to renting a wheelchair or electric conveyance vehicle (ECV) at Disneyland Resort, including prices, where to rent, how the process works, and tips for getting the most out of your mobility device at both parks.
Disneyland Resort offers wheelchair and ECV rentals for guests who need mobility assistance during their visit. Whether you have a temporary injury, a chronic condition, or simply know that walking 7-10 miles through a theme park is not manageable, renting a mobility device can make the difference between a comfortable day and an exhausting one.
Here is everything you need to know before you arrive.
Prices — Wheelchair and ECV Rental at Disneyland 2026
| Device | Daily Rental Price | Deposit | Max Weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| Manual Wheelchair | $15 | $20 refundable | 350 lbs |
| Electric Conveyance Vehicle (ECV) | $60 plus tax | $20 refundable | 450 lbs |
The $20 deposit is fully refundable when you return the device at the end of the day. Note that sales tax applies to the ECV rental price but not to the deposit. Both devices are for single riders only — passengers cannot ride on the footrests or lap of a wheelchair or ECV user.
Where to Rent a Wheelchair or ECV at Disneyland
All wheelchair and ECV rentals are available from the Stroller Shop, located just outside the theme parks east of the Disneyland Park main entrance. Look for it on the right side as you face the park entrance, near the stroller rental area.
Rentals open around 7:00am, approximately one hour before park opening. The process is straightforward: pay at the Strollers and Wheelchairs desk, then proceed to the Convenience Vehicles area to receive your device or wheelchair.
Requirements to rent:
- Must be 18 years or older with a valid photo ID
- $20 refundable deposit required
- No advance reservations — first-come, first-served only
Where You Can Use a Rented Wheelchair or ECV
Rented wheelchairs and ECVs from the Stroller Shop can be used throughout both Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure, as well as the Downtown Disney District. One rental covers the entire resort — you do not need to return the device to switch between parks.
Rented devices cannot be taken outside the resort security perimeter. If you need a wheelchair for use at your hotel or beyond the resort, you will need to rent from a third-party provider (see below).
ECVs vs Manual Wheelchairs — Which Should You Rent?
The right choice depends on your situation and how much assistance you need.
Manual wheelchair ($15/day) — Best for guests who can walk some but need a chair for longer distances or rest periods, or for guests who have a companion available to push them. Lighter and easier to navigate in tight spaces than an ECV. Cannot go up steep inclines without being pushed. Some attraction queues are easier to navigate in a manual wheelchair than an ECV.
ECV ($60/day) — Best for guests who cannot walk significant distances at all and need independent mobility throughout the day. Electric, self-propelled, and easier on the guest but requires more careful navigation in crowded areas. Some queues and attraction areas are tight for ECVs. At most rides guests will need to transfer from the ECV to the ride vehicle or a standard wheelchair — cast members can provide a manual wheelchair for the transfer where needed.
If you are unsure which is right for you, a cast member at the Stroller Shop can help you assess your needs and make a recommendation.
Arrive Early — Availability Is Limited
This is the most important practical tip: ECVs and wheelchairs are available on a first-come, first-served basis and there is a limited number of each. On busy days — particularly summer weekends, spring break, and holidays — they can sell out, sometimes before the parks even open.
If you know you will need a mobility device, arrive at the Stroller Shop as early as possible. The rental area opens around 7:00am. Arriving at 8:00am or later on a busy day carries real risk of the ECV supply being exhausted.
There is no way to reserve a wheelchair or ECV in advance through Disney. If you need guaranteed availability, the solution is to rent from a third-party provider before your visit (see below).
Third-Party Rentals — ScooterBug and Other Options
If you need a wheelchair or ECV for multiple days, want guaranteed availability, or need the device at your hotel as well as in the parks, renting from a third-party provider is often the better option.
ScooterBug is Disneyland Resort’s preferred mobility rental partner and can deliver ECVs, wheelchairs, and strollers directly to the Disney Resort hotels. Guests do not need to be present for delivery — ScooterBug coordinates with Disney hotel cast members for delivery and pick-up.
- Website: ScooterBug.com/Anaheim
- Phone: (800) 726-8284
- Multi-day rentals available
- Delivery to Disneyland Hotel, Grand Californian, and Pixar Place Hotel
Other third-party providers such as Apple Scooter operate in the Anaheim area and can deliver to hotels near Disneyland as well as to the park itself. Three-day rentals from third-party providers typically run around $85-100 total, which is competitive with the Disney daily rate of $60/day for ECVs.
Third-party devices can be taken to and from your hotel, unlike Disney-rented devices which must stay on resort property.
Bringing Your Own Wheelchair or ECV
You are welcome to bring your own manual wheelchair, power wheelchair, or ECV to Disneyland. Personal mobility devices must meet these requirements to be permitted in the parks:
- Must have at least 3 wheels or be able to maintain stability when stopped, unpowered, and unoccupied
- Must be manually or electrically powered and operate at walking pace
- Must be a single-rider device
- Must not exceed 36 inches wide and 52 inches long
- Training wheels and unauthorized modifications are not permitted
- Authorized accessories include oxygen tanks and mobility device holders
If your personal device does not meet these specifications, check with guest services before your visit to discuss alternatives.
Using a Wheelchair or ECV on Disneyland Attractions
Most attractions and shows at Disneyland Resort are accessible to guests using wheelchairs and ECVs, but the level of access varies by attraction.
For ECVs: Most ride queues and vehicles cannot accommodate ECVs. At most attractions, guests will need to transfer from their ECV to a standard ride vehicle or to a manual wheelchair provided by cast members. Cast members can provide a complimentary manual wheelchair for the transfer where needed, but note that they cannot physically assist guests in and out of vehicles — that requires a member of the guest’s own party.
For manual wheelchairs: Some ride vehicles can directly accommodate manual wheelchairs. Others require a transfer to the ride vehicle. Check the Disneyland app or ask a cast member at each attraction for specific access information.
For all mobility devices: Walk-through attractions, shows, and most restaurants are fully accessible. Accessible restrooms are available throughout both parks. The Disneyland app shows accessibility information for each attraction.
Disability Access Service (DAS)
Guests who have difficulty waiting in standard queues due to a disability — including those using wheelchairs and ECVs — may qualify for the Disability Access Service (DAS). DAS allows guests to receive a return time for attractions rather than waiting in the standard queue, so they can spend that time elsewhere in the park.
DAS is separate from wheelchair or ECV rental and is based on disability-related need, not on the use of a mobility device. Register for DAS at any Guest Relations location or through the Disneyland app in advance of your visit. A full guide to the DAS program is available at the Disneyland Resort website.
Tips for a Comfortable Day in a Wheelchair or ECV
Arrive early to secure a rental. The supply is limited and first-come, first-served. Arriving when the rental area opens at 7:00am gives you the best chance of getting an ECV.
Charge your ECV at the hotel the night before. Resort-rented ECVs are generally well-charged, but if you are using a third-party rental, confirm the battery is fully charged before you head to the park for a full day.
Use the Disneyland app to check accessibility info. Each attraction listing in the app includes information about wheelchair accessibility, transfer requirements, and accessibility accommodations.
Tell your party what to expect at each ride. At most rides you will need to exit the ECV and either transfer to a ride vehicle or wait in an accessible area. Having your group aware of the process in advance makes transitions smoother.
Consider a third-party rental for multi-day trips. If you are visiting for 2 or more days, a multi-day ECV rental from ScooterBug or another provider will typically cost less than renting from Disney each day and gives you the added benefit of having the device at your hotel.
