boats to MK and contemporary from WL

[nevadadis]

We will be staying at the WL in June. My son has a special needs stroller I use as a wheelchair for him. It is large (he is nine) and although foldable it takes time and it heavy for me. We will be going to a conference the first couple of days that is at the contemporary. From what I have read it seems the boats to MK are accessible without folding his stroller but the boats to contemporary are smaller and thus I would have to fold his stroller. I thought just to take the boat to MK and walk over to the contemporary those two days. What do you all think? I am used to pushing him and he is light for nine (only 48 pounds) but is the walk over a mile one way? I just don't want to hold anyone up taking extra time to fold his stroller, trying to lift it and also get him on the boat. Also how late do the boats run? One night we are going with the conference to EPCOT for a special dessert and illuminations private party. They will bus us back to the contemporary but then we have to get back to the WL. I think it will be about 10pm by then? Will the boats still run? Should we just take a taxi home from the contemporary? Any suggestions welcome!

Hi and to disABILITIES!

I would suggest taking a bus from WL to MK. The distance from MK Bus Parking to the Contemporary is about the same as from MK Bus Parking to the MK entrance.

The bus to MK is going to be your best bet. Yes the larger boats are easy to roll your chair into, but only 1 of those boats runs the WL/MK route, so if that boat has just pulled away from WL you will either have to fold up for the smaller launch or wait for the cruiser to make the round trip(about 30/40min). When getting back from Epcot, why not just take the bus from Epcot to WL, that way you avoid needing to transfer at CR(either to the small launch or walking over to MK for a bus/boat)
