Ah. A good example of how posts can be misread. Sorry!

Just got back from a 4 day trip and didn't notice that the crowds were any larger than they usually are for this time of year. I never saw any wait times longer than 30 minutes except for Test Track. I did notice a lot more ECVs and they definitely affected the buses. It seemed like we rode with 1 or 2 of them on every other bus ride. The cheerleaders and PW groups we ran into were all well behaved and only ran into one BTG that I can recall. The weather was unusally warm and only got chilly on 2 of the nights we went out. Overall it was a good week to visit.
On all my past trips, I never had trouble with busses until this trip. One day, we wanted to go to DTD after MK, a CM told us our best bet was to take the monorail to Contemporary and then a bus to DTD. Well when we got to the bus stop, there were 3 ecvs waiting to get on plus a swarm of other people and it was obvious we were not going to make it on that bus. So the bus driver told us, take the monorail to poly and then a bus to DTD. so we did that and was basically the same thing, 1 ecv and their family of 6, and then a crowd of people. We got on the bus but had to stand and it was a long ride. All in all, it took us almost 2 hours to get there. In all the 20+ trips I have made to Disney, this was the only time I experienced such bus crowding.
I do not ever begrudge people in scooters, I can't imagine they feel happy about it. There was one lady in line near me talking trash about a guy in one. She was tired and we waited a long time for the bus and then had to wait while he loaded and he could barely steer his scooter. He was a very large man and the woman was disgusted. SHe said it was ridiculous and people in scooters shouldn't be allowed in Disney. When her husband told her to shut up and maybe she will be in that position some day. She said she ran an hour each day and was in perfect health and when she was 90, she will still be in better shape than that guy.
I wish I had the guts to tell her off and I just hope the man did not hear her.
The tour groups wearing light blue are from Argentina, so not a BTG but an ATG.

I'm sure its out there, but does anyone know when all these groups typically come?
minnie mum said:Good to know, but then again, some Disers use BTG to stand for BIG tour group, feeling that the nationality is irrelevant (that it is the conduct of the group, rather than its origin that is the most important factor).
I just don't like that Disney doesn't stick to their rules... the signs say that if your party is larger than 6, they must load with the rest of the bus. Staying at DVC where there tends to be larger parties bc of the type of accommodations available at DVC resorts, it happens more often. I'm not sure why it is not enforced that the large parties must load with the rest of us, resulting in a group of 12 to get seats on the bus ahead of people who may have been waiting MUCH longer than that large group. THAT is what bugs me.

OTOH, the same CM said if we got there before 4, we had to leave and go back through the front gate for the wristband. I've been once before so was pretty sure they had a few areas set up to get them inside the park at different lands.
