You may be better off renting an
ECV, as pushing a wheelchair can get very tiresome, especially if you are not used to it. Also it depends on the weight of the passenger and the condition of the pusher(s). Some information for off-site rentals are:

I have used Walker a few times. They will ask for a credit card and charge it the day before arrival. They will deliver the ECV to your hotel bell services before your arrival and pick it up there after your departure. Their rates, especially for longer than a week, are much better than Disney's. Also, their scooters are much better.
You don't say if you are renting a car or what. If you are using a car for getting around, the
ECVs break down into five peices, the heaviest about 39 pounds. They take about a minute or so to take apart and about two minutes (once you are used to it) to put it together.
Another suggestion is find out your state's requirements for a termporary disabled hang tag and get the paper work and have your mother's doctor sign off on it. The tag will allow you to use any of the handicap parking areas (which will be a necessity). Also, with the policy of charging for valet parking, with a handicap hand tag the fees will be waived. Also the valets will usually volunteer to assist in loading/unloading an ECV.
