Boat from VWL to MK

[mrsminniemouse]

We are getting really excited about our trip to a 1 bedroom villa VWL in May- especially for the easy access to MK. Just wondering how it will work out if we go to MK in the morning and DD (nearly 2) falls asleep in the stroller after lunch and we want to return to VWL.

Can anyone tell me if you can roll a stroller right on to the boats (like the boat to MGM and Epcot from BCV)? Or does the infant need to come out and the stroller must be folded (as on buses)?

How long would you normally allow to get to MK first thing in the morning on this boat?

Anyone got any pictures of the boat? Or tips on staying at VWL with a toddler?

Thanks so much
Mandy

It depends on the boat, there are 2:

The large one can accomodate a stroller being rolled right on. The smaller one cannot.

You can push the stroller right onto the boat. We were there a couple of weeks ago, well at WL. I have a suggestion for the morning. Don't take the boat. Take the MK bus. In the morning the boat goes from Fort Wilderness to Wilderness Lodge to MK. In the Evening its reversed. It stops at WL before going to Fort Wilderness. One morning we had to wait til the third boat before we were able to get aboard. The first boat only picked up about 8 people. It was that full. WL does not share the bus for MK with anyone else. The boat ride take about 5-10 mins in the morning and about 15-20 in the evening. But thats because you go to Fort Wilderness before heading to MK.

Yes, you can just roll your stroller right onto the MK boat.

The smaller boat (WL/CR/FW) must have the stroller folded.
