ECV Parking

[2binak]

I'll be using an ECV for the first time on our upcoming trip. I won't need to take it through lines so I'll be parking it & walking into rides & shows. Are there designated spots for parking ECV's or do you park them in with stroller parking?

There are designated areas for parking scooters in the same way as there are for strollers. I would, however, say that most of the queues are accessible and it's worth doing because for shows you are fed off in a direct route to a separate section (usuallly at the back) where you can stay in the scooter or transfer to seats. It's worth doing this: I got a great view of Adventures of the Little Mermaid, and we were in the back row of Finding Nemo and Fantasmic, and right in the front of Beauty and the Beast and Festival of the Lion King.

Thanks for the tips. Are the ECV parking areas marked with the wheelchair symbol?

You park in the stroller parking, no separate area for ECVs!

I was also a "first timer" just a few weeks ago. The place that I was worried about was outside restrooms. However, I asked some others, who just looked like veteran ECV users (perhaps just seemed more comfortable driving around)-there's no stroller parking right outside restooms. They said to just park next to the building (not blocking any doors). Although I'd been worried about parking, like PP have suggested, finding ECV parking is quite easy, as there are a lot of ECVs.

right next to the people mover there is a special place for wheel chair ECV they do not allow stroller in this area but I think this is the only one.

Didn't know that! It's a madhouse around that area at times, so that's good to know!

Thanks everyone. So in general, I'll park in stroller parking, unless directed to park elsewhere by a CM.

it is too the left of the ramp you use to go up I think the resin why they have it for this ride is that you can not take a wheel chair or anything up there so people that have a hard time walking can get on the ride with little walking and they do not want stroller there taking up room from the wheel chair. I think if any one wants to go on the ride with an ECV wheel chair they go through the normal line and when you get to the front the CM will direct you where to park the ECV/ wheel chair and then you go up.

There is a specific area for ECV parking in Tomorrowland. It is across from Buzz Lightyear kind of under the same awning that provides protection for the seating for the Lunching Pad. It is for ECVs only. And if people try and park strollers there, I have seen CMs remove them and move them over to the stroller parking area.
They also have a separate ECV parking area at POTC. Often the areas are next to one another. But my ECV has never been parked in the middle of a group of strollers. When in doubt as to where to park check with a CM, they will direct you.
