Disney Busses vs. Driving Ourselves

[HouCuseChickie]

We're staying at WL and plan on using the boat service for MK/Contempo, and monorail wherever possible- but we're concerned about the busses- considering some of the horror stories I've read and the low patience levels of some of our group :zipit:.

We're going to have our vehicle with us. In light of that, would any of you recommend that we drive ourselves rather than take the busses? Or would certain bus situations be better than others. This would apply to days at Epcot, AK, & DHS + meals at AKL, GF, and the Poly...and possible trips to the Boardwalk and Downtown Disney.

If you're going to have your vehicle with you anyways there is NO WAY you should take the bus. The impatient members of your group are going to be not very nice to be around after standing in a bus line for a half hour. Especially when you've been waiting for a half-hour and someone in an ECV has been waiting for thirty seconds...and they have to be loaded first and it takes FOREVER to load those things. Really grates on my nerves. I'm very understanding in a case of a medical condition, but heavy-set people who just don't feel like walking shouldn't to cut in line just because of their ECV.

Those people would argue that their obesity is a medical condition. I guess lazyness is a medical condition. Maybe if they got up out of their ECV, they'd lose some of that weight. According to my BMI, I'm obese (6'2" and 220 lbs), and I consider myself a pretty lazy person, but those people who overeat and don't exercise (even by walking in WDW) really grind my gears.
