Hi there, Linda, and welcome back to planDisney! I'm so happy you've stopped by with this great question about your upcoming visit to the Most Magical Place on Earth! Thank you for trusting us for your Walt Disney World Resort vacation planning tips and information.
Linda, different types of boats make the journey between Disney Resorts Collection hotels and the Disney Theme Parks. While boats and their availability can differ from what you typically see due to water conditions or other circumstances, you can often expect certain boats on certain routes.
The boat that takes the route from
Magic Kingdom Park to
Disney's Wilderness Lodge is generally accessible for an ECV. However, the boat that goes from Magic Kingdom Park to
Disney's Polynesian Village Resort, for example, is typically a different type of boat that requires a step down, and would not be ideal for an ECV. The Monorail would be a better choice for transportation in that case.
Happily, the boat that goes between
Disney's Hollywood Studios,
EPCOT, and the
Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin is typically ECV-accessible. This is a particularly scenic ride that my family always enjoys!
Did you know that the Walt Disney World Resort buses are ECV-friendly? The bus drivers will be more than happy to help you board with a ramp, and they'll ensure you have a safe ride. The Disney Skyliner is also accessible, and the Cast Members will be delighted to guide you to a stopped gondola that you can board.
I hope you'll find that Walt Disney World Resort has become increasingly accessible, and Guests with different mobility needs find many helpful accommodations, especially when it comes to transportation. All you need to do is relax and enjoy the scenery!
Linda, I hope this is helpful to you. Please stop by planDisney with any other questions you have!
See ya real soon!
Jennifer
