Wheelchairs on "It's a Small World" ride

[LeoF20446]

Is it true that you can stay seated on your wheelchair when riding on "It's a Small World"?

Yes

And, this is a picture of the Small World accessible boat. You can drive right on

Here's another view. This is the view from the spot where you wait for the boat.

I've done it both ways on the It's A Small World ride. Both climbing into the regular boat, and using the wheelchair boat. If your family member is using a power chair, and not a scooter. You can take the power chair on the wheelchair boat. My best friend does that with her power chair when she goes to Disney World as she can't get out of her wheelchair without assistance. Her mom can't lift her in or out either without struggling. I find it easier to roll onto the boat in my manual wheelchair than having to climb down into the boat.

Some lines and most accessible ride vehicles are not ECV accessible.
Power wheelchairs are handled the same as manual wheelchairs as far as lines and wheelchair accessible ride cars are concerned.
Most have the same 'footprint' and maneuverability as manual wheelchairs and will fit in lines and the wheelchair accessible vehicles.

Thank you for the info.

You're welcome.

and the Jungle Boat Ride has a similar HA vehicle with an automated ramp that raises and lowers you in and out.
