[byram13]

hi i was wondering if you can use your mobilty scooter on the boats from the
wilderness lodge to the camp grounds and to the magic kindgom:

The large boat from the Wilderness Lodge to the Magic Kingdom is accessible and can take scooters.

The small boat from the Wilderness Lodge to the Magic Kingdom cannot take scooters.

The small boat that goes WL/Contemp/FW cannot take scooters.

There is a bus that goes from WL to Magic Kingdom.

There is a bus that goes from WL to Fort Wilderness.

There is also a very nice walkway between WL and Fort Wilderness. Not lit at night, but a very nice way to see lots of deer and other wildlife early in the morning.

There are also some pictures and information about the different transportation options, including boats.

There are 2 types of boats that run these routes. Unfortunately only one of the boats does not have a step down to get on. On the WL.CR>FW route the boats will not accommodate your scooter(these boats are called launches), they have a step down and no room on board to store a scooter. On the MK to WL route there is one launch and one larger boat(cruiser), the larger boat is able to accommodate a scooter 99% of the time. The reason the cruiser is not 100% accessible has to do with water conditions(levels/waves), most of the time adjustments in load(more people on/off) to bring the boat to dock level do the trick, but sometimes it just won't happen.

I was a first time ecv user when I stayed at the WL. My ecv was a rental, cumbersome and not in great condition. I had a hard time. Even when the water levels allowed ecvs it was still not flush. You kind of had to gun it then stop so you don't ram into the center stairwell then maneuver into the front where ecvs are. I think I would do better now that I have more experience using an ecv and have used much better quality ecvs.
