ECV parking?

My wife and I both use ECV's in the bigger parks (Epcot and AK, I'm looking at you). We are ladies of size and thus have some mobility challenges. We can usually manage queues fine. It's the overall size that is the problem. My question is this - are there places outside of an attraction where you can park your ECV while you are in line and in the attraction? For example, there is a parking place across from Everest. I park my ECV there and walk through the lines as necessary.

I'm thinking specifically of "The Living Seas" and "Mission Space". My thought is that it would be easier to explore the aquariums on foot instead of on wheels. Maybe I'm overthinking and worrying for no reason. This will only be our second trip using ECV's so we are still learning protocol to be polite ECV users.

Some attractions have parking marked specifically for ecvs/wheelchairs. Others have them mixed in with stroller parking. Just park them with all the others that you'll see. When in doubt, you can ask the CM outside the attraction.

Exactly.

The CM's are happy to tell you where you should park. And like strollers, don't be alarmed if you don't see your ECV right away. They are sometimes moved. A CM can help you find it.

When in doubt you can probably park close to the same area as the strollers and wheelchairs. The main issue is not to be in the way. Don't block access anywhere. Outside areas know your parade routes and stay clear of their travel path if you park outside. We look for out of the way places to park. For shows you can stay on your ECVs and you will usually be in a back row.

A CM will certainly be able to help, but they may not always be around when you want to ask.

Specifically for The Living Seas aquarium we drive our scooters to each tank area. If we want a closer look we get off right there, but we don't take too long to look.

for the land I have seen ECV parked right inside the doors I think this is where CM tell people they can park them if they do not want to use them in side. and just remember how long the line is for soaring when it opens again

Soarin' isn't even a slight consideration for me. I'm afraid of heights so I think Soarin' is highly overrated.
