Hi All,

My August trip is somewhat quickly approaching, and we are taking my Mom with us again on this trip.

She needs use of a (pretty well) full-time ECV while at Disney, and since we are staying at Fort Wilderness, we are hoping for one that can be transported in the car, so we can reduce the need for the internal/external bus situation at FW as much as possible.

We've used Buena Vista Scooter in the past, and were delighted with them. However, when we called to rent this time, they said that their ECV's are only guaranteed to last between 4 hours (for the one that breaks down) and 6 hours (for the one that doesn't). That doesn't seem too long. Is that 4 - 6 hours of running time? Will we be able to get a regular day of vacation out of it?

Are they just being cautious, or do we need to investigate something different? On other trips (to other places) she uses a cane or a walker, so the only place we're renting is Disney and this threw me for a bit of a loop. What advice can the exports offer?
