I've been google searching for an hour and can't seem to find the answers to a few basic questions about ECVs at Disneyland. My dad is renting an ECV from an off-site company for our trip in a couple of weeks. He has mobility issues but can walk for short distances at a time. So, for example, he can probably go from one ride to the other in Fantasyland without getting back on the scooter. My questions are:
1. Can he park the ECV at any stroller parking spot and just leave it there for a couple of hours?
2. I'm reading that ECVs can be locked to avoid theft, but then how do cast members move it if they need to shuffle strollers for any reason?
I also have a stroller question that's really more of a call for opinions. We have twin toddlers and would strongly prefer to bring our home stroller (it has all of our desired attachments, proper-fitting rain cover, etc.) but I am paranoid about theft. Am I taking a big risk bringing an expensive stroller to the park? (It's $850 with all the attachments - nowhere near the $1,800 stroller that made headlines after it was stolen at WDW but also not cheap. Also, it's a bright red, so somewhat conspicuous. Not sure if any of that makes a difference.)
TIA!
