Do you know if its accessible?

We stayed at POLY last time and I know the boat from MK to POLY wasn't accessible. DD was upset because we had said we were going on a boat ride and couldn't. I just wondered if anyone knows if this boat is accessible for power chairs?

Thanks!

The boat from Saratogo Springs and OKW and Port Orleans resorts are accessible. I take my scooter on these boats they are like small pontoon boats. The have a wheelchair space for your chairs or scooters.
From the Poly you can take a large boat from the transportation center which goes to the MK. It's right next to the Poly resort.

The boat from OKW also stops at SSR. It is accessible and is actually pretty easy to get on because it has a lot more space to work with.
Here are some pictures of the OKW/SSR boats.
This is the portable ramp between the dock and the boat:

This is the boat at the dock with ramp in place:

This is the 'parking spot' on the boat for wheelchairs and ECVs. The seats fold up against the wall of the boat to make room for wheelchairs:

I have more pictures if you want, but these are the only ones that are on line.
