Best Resort Option - Multiple ECVs

[Simba's Mom]

It says that at Riviera, loading and unloading of ECVs are done while the skyliner is moving. For anyone who's been recently, is that still the case?

Even to load an ECV? If so, that's scary!

It is slowed to almost a stop, it really sounds scarier than it is.

If you don't want to squeeze two ECV's into a value room, will they let you store/charge one at Bell Services every night?

Over the last few years, it's my understanding that Bell Services at virtually every Disney Resort hotel has been so slammed with grocery/Amazon deliveries that they are basically overrun.

However, it is quite doable to get 2 "standard" rental ECVs into any Value room at every Disney Resort Hotel.

Obviously, you can ask - and they *might* accommodate you. But consider it "Pixie Dust" and don't rely upon that kindness being extended by CMs for future visits - or even future nights within the same visit.

You may be better served by calling Housekeeping, and asking them to remove any furniture that can (reasonably) be removed (like side chairs) to give you more space.

Do not call housekeeping, it won't get done, instead physically go to the front desk and ask and it will get done. And the easiest is remove the small table. Or you can move it and the chairs to the the side of the TV closest to the bathroom.

If appropriate for your needs rent the smaller scooter.
Skip the optional rear basket, if your vendor offers it. Its an issue on some boats, buses and even elevators.

Thank you everyone for your suggestions, I really appreciate it. My mom is pretty much set on Coronado Springs, but it's good to know there's sufficient room even if we decide on another location. We plan on getting two rooms so worst case scenario I can put one in each room if it comes down to it.

I think they're both feeling self conscious about trying to maneuver the vehicles onto the buses, especially if there's a line of guests waiting on them which is why I've considered a Skyliner resort as well. I've heard pros and cons but least they're easier to get on and off when going to Epcot and Hollywood Studios.

I would suggest either SSR or OKW both are ECV friendly from a maneuver PoV, If at OKW request hospitality house and disabled suite.

I rent a small scooter, and have gotten the rear basket on every trip. Need had a problem on any boat, bus, or elevator.

I see relatively fee small scooters. The vendors primarily suggest the small scooters to customers who need the ability to transport the scooter in a private vehicle.

I agree the small scooters is less likely to have an issue with a rear basket.

That said we had an issue with the small scooter using the rear basket. It didn't easily fit in one of the elevators in the Dolphin.
