Hi Jill
I have found this info for you from another site, hope it helps

Wheelchair/ECV Rentals in the Disney theme parks

Wheelchairs and electronic convenience vehicles are available for rent at the theme parks, and each ride and show has accessible ramps and entrances. The ECV's and wheelchairs are rented on a first-come, first-serve basis, so try to arrive at the park at opening time to make sure you get one! If you intend to park hop your receipt from the rental at the first park is also good at any other park you visit on that day subject to availability. (ECVs are currently renting for $45 per day, plus a $20 refundable deposit or a photo ID as security, wheelchairs are $10 per day.)

Thanks Jeanette

I was thinking about renting one for MVMCP .
We was'nt planning on being there when the park opens, we was thinking about getting there about 7pm when everything starts for MVMCP.

I'm making a note of the other links & phone numbers just incase they are needed.

if you follow the link in my signature to the disABILITIES Board, you will find all the information you are looking for.
In post #2 of that thread there are links to a lot of different rental companies that DIS posters have had good experiences with. Many of them do online booking.
One of the companies, Randy's Mobility, has a London, England phone # that connects directly to their US. Office.
