If it's the smaller launches where you have to step down into it, then no. If it's the larger launches, then yes you can take the scooter.
We have no problem getting a scooter into a value room at AS Sports so I'm willing to bet there's absolutely no problem with getting into a deluxe room with a scooter.
Places not to go with a scooter? Restaurants are the only thing I can think of. Most will have you park outside anyway but if your friend absolutely needs it to get to a table, it might be tough going.
Most boats have a ramp to get from the dock to the boat, I have been on the smaller pontoon boats many times with my scooter.
I also park outside of restaurants just because the scooter clogs up the isles.
As CinderAbby mentioned, there are 2 kinds of boats that go between the MK area resorts and MK.
The smaller launches look like this
They are not accessible because there is a big step down. Only wheelchairs that cn be folded and lifted aboard can go on them.
The motor cruisers look like this
They are accessible to both wheelchairs and ECVs. The only exceptions are when the water levels are very low or very high and they can't get the boat level enough with the dock. That is very rare.
I think that only the smaller launches go between the MK resorts. If that is true, you would need to follow the walking path from Contemporary and MK to get to the MK boat dock areas. From there, you could get a motor cruiser to WL. 2 boats go to WL. One is a motor cruiser and the next will be a launch.
We have not stayed at BLT, but have taken the model tour with our daughter, who uses a wheelchair. Based on that, you will have no trouble getting around in it with an ECV.
I am use to the top boat that goes from contemporary,we only need to go to HDDR so guess we will see how she is feeling that day to walk to the boat,or we will have to go to the MK dock then

You could also check with the front desk if they could lend you a wheelchair to go to HDDR.
The resorts have wheelchairs first come, first serve that can be lent out. They are not always available and not always in the best condition, but it would be another option.

The best thing to do - walk to the MK boat dock. It's only a 5 minute or so walk, and then you can easily take the launch to FW. It's a bit of a walk (not terribly far, but I know one of my friends who is what we call "walking wounded" couldn't make it).
To be on the safe side, I'd ask at the CR front desk about how best to get there.

Follow the signs to the bus stop, then follow the monorail track. The sidewalk that goes to MK is pretty much right underneath it. You will cross a parking lot and a street before getting to the bus stations.
The path hugs a grassy, wooded area and the MK bus stations will be to your left. Once you get past the bus stations, you enter a sort of courtyard with the boat docks to your left, MK ahead then to your right and the monorail station straight ahead.
yep I know where it is we walked that a lot last year. was easier to take the bus from OKW to MK then walk over for HDDR and chef mickeys. Was a nice little walk
