As promised I'm reporting back to you
We went on the voyage last night and was pretty disappointed TBH with the whole wheelchair experience. I'll give you details on what happened during te evening.
We checked in on the second floor of the Contemporary at 8:30pm. We were given pirate scarves each and out seat rows and boat (Mr Smee's). DS2 was given row 22 with his wheelchair with either my DH or myself to sit next to him. Our other seat was on Row 20 in front with another family.
At 8:45pm the area was opened by two pirates where snacks and soft drrinks/coffee were available and limited seating area. Captain Hook and Mr Smee were there for autographs and photos (no photopass). At approx 9:15pm after a restroom call we were escorted (along with strollers) to the elevators down and outside to the waiting 2 boats at the end of the boat dock. This was the first part we were disappointed with as it meant DS2 totally missed out on as the others followed either Capt. Hook or Mr Smee down to the dock and it looked liked there was fun there.
To board the boat it is fully accessible with a ramp brought to the back of the boat (similar to the monorail) and DS2 was informed which side of the boat to sit with his wheelchair and DH beside him. It was easy enough and both had a great view down into the boat. I sat in front and below them.
The voyage started with the Pirate Patch being extremely entertaining. We watched the Electric Water Parade then went to take our place on the lake ready for Wishes. As we were sat on the starboard side (RHS looking to the front of the boat) we were at the back looking across to the castle when it was moored up. This was the other major disappointment. Because of the difference in height at the back of the boat DS2 couldn't see any of the high fireworks as the boat's roof blocked his view. There is space for another wheelchair at the port side of the boat which would have made viewing better for a wheelchair user. However, a manager sat here and the strollers were stored in that area.
Before Wishes started Patch did a Disney quiz and posed with the kids for photos.
When we docked back at CR Peter Pan was there to meet the boats and a photo opportunity. DS2 was really tired by this time so we didn't wait.
I don't want to put anyone off as the voyage is great fun but a wheelchair user has a 50:50 chance of having a very limited view of Wishes.
