Thanks!

For all motor launches, which is the boat that services Fort Wilderness, strollers and wheel chairs must be folded prior to boarding and ECVs cannot be accommodated on motor launches under any circumstances. In order to get on this boat you must step over the 1 foot edge of the boat.

BUT Motor Cruisers run from the Magic Kingdom on the Seven Seas Lagoon through the water bridge channel to Bay Lake and Fort Wilderness Campground and the Wilderness Lodge. ECVs can be accommodated on motor cruisers unless the water levels are low.

The Ft. Wilderness Campground is serviced by 2 Motor Cruisers (Green Flag) running from 8:30am to approximately 1 hour after the Magic Kingdom closes. These boats only run between the Magic Kingdom and Ft. Wilderness

if it is the smaller boat then they are not accessible, however, I was on the larger boat in April (which is accessible) and we "detoured" from MK to WL to pick up someone and then continued to FW. Don't know if they do that very often tho...

There is also bus service between FtW & WL, which definitely is wheelchair accessible.

Does the bus go to the right outpost at FW, or will we have to change buses thee? Just trying to plan if it's time effective to do hoop after a resort break or to plan to just go there straight from mk!

After WL, Settlement will be the first stop in FW. HDDR is a short walk from the Settlement depot, about the same walk as from the boat dock.
