"but I would call the park that you are going to that day to see if you can hold a scooter for that day. "
- sorry, but they will not hold or reserve and ECV, wheelchair or stroller for anyone; you have to be phyiscally present in whatever park you are going to and rent the item there. There are limited numbers of these (especially the ECVs) available and they are on a strictly first-come, first-served basis. Even leaving the ECV for the long period of 4 hours could have been risky, because I have seen CMs using their master keys and conducting a "round up" of what they considered "abandoned" vehicles when the demand outstrips the supply.
Once you have the ECV ( I'm just going to use that designation here, but this applies to all 3), you can keep the receipt and go to another park and pick up another ECV there, without additional cost. Please keep in mind that they can and do, run out of items to rent and since you will be going at the busy Thanksgiving time, consider renting one for the length of your stay- check out our new Forum sponsor (there's a link in the banner above the title and also a sitcky thread with info), since they are right at The Boardwalk Resort. Depending on your reason for needing an ECV, the peace of mind knowing that you have one when you need it can be well worth it
, especially when you want to look at all of those terrific holiday decorations! You can use it on all of the Disney transportation within the parks and to the other resorts and it will also provide you with seating during the parades.
Have a great trip and feel free to PM me if there is anything I can help you with
