Yes, there should be 3 wheelchair spots. The 2 with the new locking arms are rear-facing; 1 with traditional tie-downs is forward-facing.Not sure this has been said but I rode one today you ride beck wards and I think there is room for 3 mobile devices but not 100% sure
This is what it looks like good to knowYes, there should be 3 wheelchair spots. The 2 with the new locking arms are rear-facing; 1 with traditional tie-downs is forward-facing.
Regarding the bus drivers hating the new buses, I can't help but hope that this gets Disney's attention, and maybe the ordering of the new buses will be stopped. I'm sure I'm not alone in worrying about how children will handle all the standing on the buses with their little arms-we're going to WDW in October with our 3 young grandchildren and considering renting a car for this reason. Also, as I've mentioned, this doesn't make those of us needing ECVs very popular. It's our fault [some might think] that Grandpa, or little Sarah, has to stand on the bus.I know these new buses are supposed to serve a purpose, hopefully in the years to come I’ll figure out what that purpose is. At this point every driver we spoke with, not just the ones on the new buses, despise them, guests seem upset, the boarding process takes longer and there are fewer seats. I remember reading a previous post regarding people with canes, older folks and children having to go up the steps because there’s less seating, that’s absolutely true. I felt terrible taking up room and facing backwards and looking into their faces!!!
I believe the new buses also have 1 “traditional” forward-facing tie-down spot.
You are absolutely correct. There is one "traditional " tie down spot across from the top of the ramp on every new bus.I believe the new buses also have 1 “traditional” forward-facing tie-down spot.
Correction;5289-5370 (newest bus with Orange Bird wrap) are the new style buses.Interesting
You are correct. The new buses can accommodate 3 mobility devices. The 2 in the Quantum restraint system positions are rear facing. There is 1 "traditional" spot across from the ramp that is still forward facing.Not sure this has been said but I rode one today you ride beck wards and I think there is room for 3 mobile devices but not 100% sure
I'm sorry you feel bad but Disney knows darn well they cater to ECV guests and ECV use will continue to rise as the population ages. They chose penny pinching over guest comfort with this new bus fleet- instead of maintaining seats and adding more buses they chose the cheaper route to dump seats and squeeze more ECVs into the buses- it's not your fault they made that decision.Disney has an ECV problem because too many people like me find it a great place to vacation because it is so accessible in an ECV. It's about the only place I've been able to go for years that I can do everything and keep up with my family. It's a grind for transportation and for CM's to deal with all the scooters though. I wish there were more skyliners because I feel bad taking up seats and time with the bus and the new busses just accentuate the issue I think.
