Wilderness Lodge, ECV in room, boats to MK with an EVC? ECV and Friendship boats in Epcot?

[Childs1stTime2Disney]

Where did you find it best to park in your room in WL with an ECV?
Can ECV go on the boats from WL to MK?
What other boats can ECV go on or not, in any of the WDW resort?
What about Friendship boats in Epcot or to DHS?

Where did you find it best to park in your room in WL with an ECV?

If in a regular room, nearest the door where there’s a plug. If in an accessible room, pretty much anywher, if there’s a plug nearby for overnight charging.

Can ECV go on the boats from WL to MK?

If it’s the big boat like this one, yeah.

These won’t be able to take a scooter as they’re very tiny and there’s a step down:

There’s a third boat type, but I’m not 100% sure if they take scooters, as in the front there’s steps, but in the back it MIGHT be doable because they can use a ramp or something.

What other boats can ECV go on or not, in any of the WDW resort?

Pretty much any other boat. The boats to/from the EPCOT hotels, the boat that goes from one side of World Showcase to the other, and the boats that go to Disney Springs.

Neither of those boats can accommodate ECVs. Guests might be able to carry on a folded wheelchair, but not easily because of the narrow entrance and steps.

All Other WDW transportation is accessible. WL is served by both the smaller non-accessible boats and larger accessible ones. The CMs at the dock can advise when the next accessible boat will be if the one at the dock is not

This is also the case on the MK-GF-Poly boat route.

It didn't have any larger accessible boats until a few years ago but operates similarly to the WL route now.

I actually prefer the boat to the monorail when going from MK to GF or Poly. It's relaxing ride, I think, and often shorter than riding the MK-CR-TTC-Poly-GF monorail circuit.

The main difference from Epcot and DS boats is that the above routes don't have a ramp. The crew simply asks other passengers to move to one side or the other if the boat deck doesn't level very well with the dock. DH's powerchair can jump a bit of height; he does that at times that make me nervous watching him do it.

Crew members will often notice the deck might be too high or low and will tell people to move as needed to raise or lower the deck. You can also ask for that if using an ECV you aren't familiar with. They're happy to get the boat as level with the dock as possible.

Of course the cruisers at MK, the Friendship Boats, and the Sassagoula boats are all limited in how many ECV’s they can take at a time. You might have to wait for the next boat or even more if there are already scooters aboard. This is especially true for parties with multiple ECV’s.

True.
Those 2 specific types of boats are non-accessible whatever route they are on. I only responded for WL since that was where the OP was asking about

 

[Her Dotness]

Admittedly, I was rather off-topic discussing the MK-GF-Poly route when WL-MK route was the question.

We use both routes so often that I went...ahem...somewhat overboard.

I'll retire to the corner and promise to be good in future.
