Laura 17 Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 Hello from The Fort! Is there a thread on here I cannot find that lists the best way to get places from The Fort? I am trying to figure out how to get us from the Fort to the Comtemporary, Floridian, and the Poly...I looked in the welcome packet and it does not tell you much about how to get around. Another question I had was, are Scooters go on the Monorail? We are taking my Mom our to a few restaurants a we are not sure if she can bring the scooter. Thank you in advance for any direction :clint: Laura Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 If you have a scooter, take the boat to the MK and the resort monorail from there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AC in A2......Aaron 693 Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 Take the boat from the Fort to the Contemporary.You can then get the monorail to the others. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 Can you take scooters on the little boats though, Aaron? I don't think so. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Grumpy and Grandma 739 Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 Can you take scooters on the little boats though, Aaron? I don't think so.They have been known to make a special run with the large boat to accommodate a guest on an ECV. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Laura 17 Posted November 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 Oh! Yeah I thought of that, but I cannot get her scooter on the little boat. BUT she may be able to hoove it a short while. The Little boat at the Fort goes to the Contemporary? I was thinking it just went to Fort Wilderness.....? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BUT she may be able to hoove it a short while. The Little boat at the Fort goes to the Contemporary? I was thinking it just went to Fort Wilderness.....? There are two sides to the dock at the Fort Wilderness marina. One side goes to the MK (usually that will be a big boat that can accommodate ECV's). The other to the Contemporary Resort and Wilderness Lodge (usually this will be a small boat that cannot accommodate ECV's). This boat goes in a repeating circle between the resorts. On busy days, they will have a boat going in each direction, so pay attention. You may want to wait for the one going directly to the resort you're going to.

Katman1356...Jason 1,140 Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 Little Boat runs a loop. Fort, Contemporary, Wilderness Lodge...Big Boat is MK only unless running shared with Wilderness Lodge. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TCDBut we have been there when the " BIG BOAT" has taken an ECV to the Contemporary from the Fort. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 But we have been there when the " BIG BOAT" has taken an ECV to the Contemporary from the Fort. Yup. That's why I said usually. Sometimes the small boats take you to the MK. And every now and then, they dust off one of those big slow old Animal Kingdom boats and ferry people around on them.

GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 Jason thought it was pretty easy to get on the big boat with the EVC, so that's what I'd do. It's hard to even get a stroller in those little boats. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Memphis 105 Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 I would not try to have her go on foot to contemporary. It's a long walk with many steps to climb to get from the dock to the monorail. The best bet is to go to MK and use the resort monorail. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 Or if the rest of the family can walk pretty well, take the big boat to the Magic Kingdom, then have mom ride on the scooter and the rest of the fam walk to the Contemporary.

Laura 17 Posted November 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 Hey! I like that idea Carol! Thanks I think we will do that next time, I thought about that but was not sure where to do that. We did end up taking the little boat (Thank you all for the info) and it worked out great, my Mom felt great to not be in the scooter for once I think she is self conscious about it even though she should not be. We had a great dinner at Chef Mickeys, although Pluto did try to steal Lukas's (11 Mo) Cheerios. One thing I did NOT think about was the little boats can get COLD for people like my older Mom who get cold easily. the ride there was cold the ride back just about froze her!Thanks again all!Laura Quote Link to post Share on other sites
