Last month. when we were at La Cantina del San Angel, outside the Mexican Pavilion in Epcot, there was a CM at the entrance directing all ECVs to park outside-No ECVs were allowed inside the fenced area. Is this new? I was sure that I'd been in there in my ECV. And are there any other CS restaurants that make you park outside?For those of us who can't walk, least of all when trying to carry a tray, I'll have to cross such restaurants off my list, since I usually travel solo.
On a similar note, a "Thank You" to the CM who helped me at Satuli Canteen recently. Carrying a tray while trying to drive a scooter isn't the easiest thing to do, and I saw the CM whisper a few words to his co-worker, then he suddenly appeared beside me. He took my tray, then said "I'll follow you." Once I found a seat, he asked what I wanted to drink, went back and got my soft drink, silverware, napkins, etc. Came back, asked if I'd like anything else, then disappeared as quickly as he'd appeared. Such a thoughtful gesture.
 
Depends on what you mean by ECV. They can't stop a powerchair legally, and there are plenty of people who can't get out of their chairs. The scooters are a space issue, and they sometimes transfer to a manual chair.

We took a Whill everywhere, even in very tight spaces where they don't allow scooters, like Cinderella and Oga's. Getting out of it wasn't an option, though. They do have transfer chairs, like at the rides, in some places. Like I know BOG has them.
 
We have been in there our daughter’s manual wheelchair; it is pretty small - only 24 inches wide. There are some tight places in that restaurant that would be difficult for an ECV to negotiate and we did have to kind of detour around places where tables or chairs.
I remember most of the tables and chairs are fixed in place, so only a few have chairs that can be removed to make space
 

I did some digging and found some older threads that seemed to report ECVs had once been allowed into San Angel -- so you may be remembering correctly. However it does seem that at least for the past year or so ECVs have not been allowed:

This thread also mentions some other restaurants with limited accessibility for ECVs:

Thanks, but these refer to the TS San Angel, not the CS, Cantina de San Angel. Maybe they were allowed at the Cantina though. Didn't know about BOG, though.

Oops, sorry. My search was just "San Angel." Can you tell I've never eaten in Mexico?
