Getting to parks with an ECV - The DIS Discussion Forums

aubriee · 10-23-2012, 01:23 AM

My husband and I will be at RPR next week. (We had a nice romantic trip planned, but then had a major change in plans this weekend.

) My elderly mom is now going with us (it was either that or cancel the trip just five days out

). She will have an ECV that we are renting from an offsite vender. Will an ECV be able to get onto the boats that go from the resorts to the parks?

off topic-Never plan a trip very last minute. The same flights we paid $198.00 r/t for last summer, is now costing $777.70 r/t for her, just to get her on the same plane as us.

I may be misremembering, but I believe that I rode the boat a few times with a passenger who was using an ECV. I think that they have room for one, perhaps two ECV's at the front of the boat. DD12 reinjured her knee after knee surgery and had to use a wheelchair for the remainder of the trip, but we just walked/pushed to the parks. I hope someone with more definitive knowledge can answer your question.

i was staying at rph earlier this month.

i saw many peeps using the water taxis with the ecv.

the most i saw on the water taxi was 2 at one time.

the person can sit on the ecv or step down to the benches and sit there while on the boat.

Thanks, she'd probably have to stay on the ECV. She can walk some, but has alot of trouble with any steps.
