We have a very short trip coming up and one member of our party will need an ECV. We’re staying on property for 2 nights and just have 1 park day. Based on the timing of our trip, it seems our only options are the ECV rentals at the park or Scooterbug. Unfortunately our flight leaves so early on our last day (as in we’re leaving the resort at 5 am) that most of the rental companies that require an in person pickup/drop off won’t be available that early. The previous day is our park day so having the scooter picked up in person that late at night also doesn’t seem to be an option. So Scooterbug seems to be the only option where we can use the bell stand.
Of course, we can also just rent one at the park, but I’ve seen a lot of people say this will basically eat up our entire 30 minutes of early entry, which seems like kind of a bummer. If our early entry starts at 8:30, how early will the ECV rentals open? This is for Epcot, specifically. We’ve done early entry plenty of other times so we’re familiar with the process at Epcot, but this is our first time needing an ECV rental. Could we expect to get there around 7:30, get our ECV, and not lose any of our actual “early entry” time? Or do the ECV rentals not start until later?
Scooterbug’s scooters don’t seem to get rave reviews from people, but I’m not really sure if the park rentals are all that great either lol. So which would you choose if they were your only options? Like I said, my original plan was just to use the park rental but I really don’t want to waste any of our early entry time if I have another option.
