    New buses coming in early 2024 - ECV restrictions

    I'm at WDW right now and I spoke with a Bud Driver today. She said they were having an issue with the arms that press in to hold the ECV steady. When they use those arms on a folding wheelchair it folds up the wheelchair with the person inside! She also said that the buses have 2 spots for...

    When do the Christmas Storytellers start?

    I heard it was possible to do a late Food and Wine trip and roll your trip into the Christmas celebrations. Do you know when the Christmas Storytellers start up in EPCOT? They're one of my favorite Christmas events. I expect I'll visit the last few days of F&W to see .38 Special and stay...

    No reservations before 8:00 for Steakhouse 71 at 60 days +10?

    I picked a date later in my trip and was able to see earlier reservations with a party size of 2. I reserved one and then after reserving I changed the party size to 1. Thanks for the suggestions on how to work around this crazy Disney reservation system. They really should make it easier...

    No reservations before 8:00 for Steakhouse 71 at 60 days +10?

    Just one person. I've been looking around on this forum and it seems some other restaurants have had similar issues in the past. Where 60+10 days out there were no reservations for San Angel and some others. Disney may have an issue with some restaurants showing sold out and then having...

    I made my reservations this morning and I couldn't find any Reservations for Steakhouse 71 dinner before 8:00. I started at 7:00 AM and I got Up Close with Rhinos and Space 220 but there were no dinner reservations for Steakhouse 71 that weren't after 8:00 PM. Are these times closed off for...

    It’s a wheelchair and I’m a grown adult

    I actually like the "chariot" and such. Yea, I'm 64 years old and I've been pushing a wheelchair full time for 46 years. But I like the Disney magic and those phrases feel magical to me.

    Sunscreen

    I always use kids sunscreen. I hate normal sunscreen on my face because when I sweat the sunscreen gets into my eyes and irritates them. Kids sunscreen seems to work much better without tears.

    ECVs, buses, and Good Neighbor Hotels

    If it's the standard Mears bus like they sometimes use at Pop Century and other resorts they will not load a wheelchair/ECV. At least that's how it is when they load at Pop Century. I've had a few of them show up in a row and the ECV/wheelchair line got longer and longer because they wouldn't...

    ECV’s on Disney Buses

    There were 6 wheelchairs/scooters in front of me. Because of the crowds they were loading 2 buses at a time but for the second bus they load they will not put wheelchairs on. So the walking crowd thinned out fast but at the end of the night I was the last person at the station waiting for a...

    ECV’s on Disney Buses

    As a wheelchair user I often have to wait for the second or third bus to get to a park. My worst was six busses when I was leaving EPCOT. I waited through the whole line and finally got to the area at the front with the gate for wheelchair users. I waited in the area for 6 buses. By the time...

    Caught COVID at WDW have plans to check in to Universal on Tuesday(24th)

    I was able to cancel my Universal part of this trip. I had an amazing Universal ticket employee who was able to refund my unrefundable tickets. We were attempting to move them to next May and she offered to refund them instead. That sounded great to me. I also was able to cancel my Universal...

    Caught COVID at WDW have plans to check in to Universal on Tuesday(24th)

    I was unlucky and caught COVID at WDW. Sore throat on the 19th, cough and fever on the 20th, and I went to a walk-in clinic on the 20th, tested positive for COVID. Right now I'm quarantining in my room at Pop Century. I've been given Paxlovid and the doctor says I can go back out in public in...

    Skyliner to ohana

    The Skyliner does not go to the TTC. I'd take the bus to the Magic Kingdom and then the monorail to the Polynesian.

    Fireworks and Parades

    Yes it was channel 74 at 9:00 PM. They were running the Dis Must Do which seemed to end about 8:58. Then the fireworks came on at 9:00. It was pretty good. Personally I think the filming and the show focused too much on projections. But I'll probably never like a show as much as I loved Wishes.

    Fireworks and Parades

    I arrived today at Pop Century and I thought it would be great to check out the MK fireworks on my room TV. Do you guys know what channel and the time? I was thinking 9:00 since that's when they are live. E.T.A. I scrolled up on this thread and it looks like it is channel 74 and multiple...
