ECV charging at OKW GV

[SBMKE]

DD uses an ECV for touring the parks. We are getting a GV at OKW but she does not need one of the accessible villas. Since all the other OKW GV are on the 2nd floor, is there a place she can charge her ECV? Thanks for sharing!

There is only one OKW Grand Villa with ground floor entry. That is the only wheelchair accessible one with ground floor entry.
Building 63 has a handicapped accessible Grand Villa which starts on 2nd floor or the building (that building has elevators.)
All other GV are entered from 2nd floor.

If you are renting the ECV from one of the Disney Featured Providers, you can store the ECV with Bell Services and they can charge it for you.

These are the featured providers:

• Best Price Scooters and Strollers: (866) 866-3434
• Apple Scooter: (800) 701-1971
• ScooterBug: (800) 726-8284
• CARE Scooter Rentals: (800) 741-2282
• Buena Vista Scooter Rentals: (866) 484-4797

I noticed when we were last at OKW that there was an electrical plug outside our villa. Maybe if you make friends with someone on the first floor (since the plug was right by our door) you could park your ECV there. Come to think of it, though, that's assuming you can walk up and down stairs. I must admit, I really wish OKW had elevators in more buildings.

All the accommodations at OKW are so big that you can very easily store and charge your ECV inside. We had a one-bedroom, and I parked my scooter in front of the interconnecting door as there was a very convenient socket right by it. So, as long as you get a GV with an elevator you shouldn't have any problems.
