ECV & Monorail

[Tara619]

I will have an ECV and we're planning on Chef Mickey's for breakfast and then MK. Can the ECV go on the monorail?

sure it is just like a wheelchair. they will put a ramp down for you to drive in and at Contemp. there is an elevator.

There is an elevator at the Contemporary for getting in and out. When you get to the MK, there is not an elevator, just a very long, steep ramp.
Here are some pictures that will help. This is the ramp going up to the monorail at the TTC. You will not be using that station since you are coming from the Contemporary. The ramps to get up to and down from the station at MK are similar though. The picture was taken from about 1/2 way up the ramp.

The CM will direct you to a wheelchair waiting area similar to this one at the TTC. There is a ramp stored in that area that the CM will put down for you to board.

This picture shows a CM putting the ramp in place:

and this one shows the ramp in place. The inside of the wheelchair monorail car has an empty space in the middle so you can drive a wheelchair or ECV on more easily.

Not hard to do at all, easy to drive them on and off the monorail. The CMs are very patient while the ECVs and Wheelchairs move on and off and you are directed to the special area to wait for the right car. ECVs and Wheelchairs have priority getting on that car so you are not fighting a crowd getting up that ramp.
