Disney Springs boat and ECV?

[CoolDisneyCat]

Does the boat that goes from Disney Springs and Old Key West accommodate an ECV? I’ve read it’s one of the small boats and I’ve read the opposite. Does anyone know for sure? Thanks!

Yes, they will lay a metal ramp down for scooters to drive on and off.

It‘s not a large boat, but is accessible. We are DVC members with OKW our home resort and ride the boat at least once per trip with a wheelchair. We frequently see guests on it with wheelchairs and ECVs.
The captain will put down a ramp to roll on and off and direct you where to go.
Several small rows of seats directly across from the entrance fold up to make wheelchair/ECV spots.
The reports of those boats NOT being accessible are probably from people who just see rows of seats and are not aware those seats fold up.

The boats between the other Disney Springs resorts are the same, just themed differently. We sometimes take the OKW boat to Disney Springs, then catch a boat to Saratoga or one of the Port Orléans resorts. When done, catch the boat back to Disney Springs, then back to OKW

Yup, I know from personal experience. Rode it both ways.

all the seats you can see in these 2 pictures flip up to make a ‘parking spot’ for wheelchair or ECV

The regular way down to the boarding area at OKW has stairs, but there is a ramp entered near the pool entrance that goes all the way down to the dock

Ok! Very cool! Thanks! Very good news!
one more question, please. Which boat dock is in service at Disney Springs?

the once closest to Saratoga Springs - circledin red on the screenshot.
Security Screening is the same as at the parks with the machines you walk thru.
It’s at or at least near the blue circled area; the other areas guests could previously enter on that side are blocked off
