I’m heading to WDW with my husband and one-year-old in early March and am looking for a (somewhat) simple way to get from Wilderness Lodge to International Gateway in order to rope drop Remy’s during early entry at Epcot. My first thought was to reserve an Uber carseat, but I was blown away by...

We will be staying at CBR next week, and are curious about transportation to Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom. If we want to get to the parks as soon as they open, when do we get on the bus? And how long is the bus ride, including the internal loop. We are requesting Jamaica, if that helps. The...

I am looking forward to a 4 day trip to WDW at the end of the month. I am traveling in a group of 7 and staying at Coronado Springs Resort. We are doing one day at HS on Saturday, February 29. I have followed along very closely the strategies to get a ROTR BG. However, I have not seen much about...

I am 16 and I have gone to Disney 18 times. I know the ins and outs. Today was the first day of my mother and I’s vacation at Disney. We are both DVC members so we are staying at the hotel we belong to. Saratoga Springs. I used to love this hotel but that changed today. The day started great; we...

My baby will be almost 2 when we go on our cruise that is stopping in Castaway Cay and Cozumel. I'm obviously not worried about excursions in Castaway Cay because we will just have a beach day but its been a while since I've been to Cozumel and am wondering what kind of excursions would be a...

I'm about to go on my first Disney trip in 20 years (Apr. 6-13) and I want to Do All The Things. It sounds like rope dropping each park at least once is a good way to help make that happen...but is it realistic to rope drop parks if you're traveling by bus from Port Orleans French Quarter (I...

Hey all! We're going to Disney World in September 2018, and are just planning our days out. What are the queues like from September 1st to September 7th in the parks (looking for a veteran's input here!) And does this seem like a good itinerary? Saturday 1st Sept - Land in Orlando 15:35...

We couldn't go in the night before and had no choice but to schedule our flights on Embarkation day! This meant getting up at 2 am to catch a 5:15 am flight. We had so much anxiety about the flight that my wife actually told me she didn't know if we would SURVIVE the day as a family! This could...

This is a DME bus equipped with a wheelchair lift. In my family's experience, the lift buses do carry a wheelchair in the cargo area in case it is needed by a guest for boarding or unloading from the bus. The 'door' to the cargo area is not quite as high, but the cargo area itself is actually...

This message is displayed at all WDW resort bus stops. The signs are themed to the location - this one is from Animal Kingdom Lodge bus stop.

Tiedown straps with hooks are attached to a sturdy place on the frame front and back of the wheelchair or ECV. Wheelchair users may ride in their chair, but should use the bus seatbelt. ECV users SHOULD transfer to a bus seat because ECVs have high risk for tipping, even when tied down securely.

The ramp is completely lowered or extended and the driver will invite the guest (plus up to 5 members of their party to board). Wait until the driver tells you the bus is ready to board.

The seats are folded up to make a space for wheelchair or ECV and the ramp is lowered (some buses, the ramp slides out)

The driver will open the back door for a guest with a wheelchair or ECV to board there

Step one - the driver opens the back door and begins the lowering of the ramp The seats will be folded up to form a place for a wheelchair or ECV to park. The ramp is fully lowered and the guest (and up to 5 members of their party) are invited to board. Wait for the driver to let you know it...

This is one version of the sign above bus seats that fold to make a wheelchair/ECV seating area. Guests sitting there will be asked to move if the space is needed for a guest with a wheelchair or ECV. There are 2-3 spaces on each bus that can accommodate a wheelchair or ECV.
