heres my beef.....

[Magenta Panther]

well,had a great holiday so far staying at port Orleans riverside,fly home to bonny Scotland on Saturday......only one issue......mobile scooters + Disney resort buses = one big pain in my familys ! BEFORE ANYONE says anything, I have no issue what so ever with disabled people using them and getting on the bus first,its the ones who either get on the bus first,along with there whole group,which at one time was twelve large,which is ridiculous,why cant the scooter get loaded and the rest of the family queue up like anyone else??? Secondly,for the ones that use scooters cos they are just plain FAT and cant walk,why should they get on first with there whole family???one fat family had three scooters between them and they got the bus driver to put them on the bus as they walked on themselves first,and as each scooter takes up three seats as they have to be folded up,there was hardly.....

This relates, in a way, to a gripe my cousin voiced to me after visiting WDW last week...the way WDW accommodates scooter and wheelchair users is starting to get out of hand. My cousin rode The Haunted Mansion 4 times or thereabouts, and every time he did it stopped during the ride because of CMs having to load and unload scooter and wheelchair users. That spoiled the experience for him, and he heard other riders griping about it as well. It's one thing to accommodate and be compassionate about people with disabilities, but it's another to go so far with it that you ruin the fun for everyone else. And yeah, I get PO'd sometimes at the bus situation, especially with fat people and scooters. IMO, fat isn't a disability, it's a result of bad eating habits. Period.

My neighbor that is a double amputee calls obese people in a scooter "self-inflicted." Amen to that.

I haven't posted for a while but this thread has made me want to. I totally agree with the OP. When we were there in June we had a torrid time on the buses and the FAT wheelchair scooter users really got me. You'd queue for 30 mins for the bus, then just as it arrived along came Mr or Mrs scooter so the bus driver would stop the queue, unload the ramp, they would drive on, spend 5 mins parallel parking the thing into a space that takes up 3 seats... then they would get off the scooter and sit across two seats because they didn't fit into one... so 5 seats taken up by one person!

Also, the Special Assistance cards... how many times did I see people with absolutely no special ability coming to the front of the queue via the exit with a SA card? The cards should just be for the person who requires the assistance and not for the rest of the party when the person requiring the assistance is not riding!

I hope you all feel better now.
