WL Boat Travel w/special needs stroller

[Disneylvr]

We are considering the WL for our next WDW trip. Will our special needs stroller be accomodated on the boats without having to fold it? Also is there still a boat from WO to the Contemporary? We are planning a birthday breakfast at Chef Mickey's. Thanks!

There are 2 types of boat that serve WL, unfortunately your chances of getting the a wheel on boat is 1 in 4. 2 launches run the WL, CR, FW route, launches would require folding the stroller, plus there is a step down into the boat. 1 launch and 1 cruiser serve the WL, MK route, the cruiser you will be able to roll right onto most of the time. If you go to the MK, you would be faster served by a bus, but if you are not in a hurry and understand that you may have to wait for the cruiser to make the round trip(it just left as you were heading for the dock) the boats are a relaxing way to get around.

Just for clarification, strollers don't usually need to be folded on cruisers. If they do, it's usually because of space. Your stroller is a being used as a wheelchair and should be treated like wheelchair. That is what I would say to the CM as you get on if there is any problem.

The smaller launches are not wheelchair accessible, so anyone with traveling with a wheelchair would need to get out, get down the steps into the launch and then have someone lift the folded wheelchair onboard.
