I know why ECVs are loaded first, but (don't shoot me, please!!!!), can't they wait one bus load so that the 90 people in line can finally get moving? Then they load first on the very next bus. I have a minor disability myself, and standing in a line pains me, but I'm not yet ready to use an ECV or wheelchair. If you're in an ECV, would waiting for 20 minutes for the next bus be such an inconvenience, when others have been waiting for 40+ minutes, standing? In busy times, more buses would be the answer of course, but that hasn't happened to me yet. So in busy times, when the lines have exceeded 40 minutes, maybe others have to wait as well. (Oh, no. I'm going to get creamed here.)
At the end of the day, the bus queues at MK do what you are asking - guests using wheelchairs and ECVs wait in the standard queue until they reach a certain point (about a bus load of people ahead of them) and then they are let through a gate. It takes a lot of CMs to keep people from trying to cut past the queue to get to the gate, as they are used to going right to the HC spot. I wish all the queues were like this all the time, then people would be used to the process. It can get ugly pretty quickly when someone is told, no you have to go in the queue!
