Read in another thread some misconceptions about what WDW's policy is regarding a full bus, and whether a wheelchair can be loaded or not.
The policy is deceptively simple:
If you are at the load zone when the bus arrives, your wheelchair gets loaded before all other guests at the bus stop. Period.
Some routes have more than one stop, as in the All Stars, Carribean Beach, etc...These buses can be too full to accomodate a wheelchair before arriving at your stop...In this case, if the driver feels there is not enough room for a chair, he should not accept ANY new passengers.
If you should arrive during the loading process, and there is no room to maneuver your wheelchair on board, the policy is to treat you as ANY OTHER GUEST. If there is no room for your wheelchair, the bus is to be treated as completely full, and no other guests should be loaded. At this point, the driver should radio his coordinator, to inform them that guests were left at the bus stop, "including one wheelchair"
A nearby bus should then be dispatched to your location.
