Make sure you back on to the lift, and then when you back up just make a sharp turn into the space the bus provides for you. When you get the the park all you have to do is pull onto the lift. I did have trouble with one bus. The lift for some reason would not go down (I think it was user error). I also know that now they have a few buses with a ramp in the back. This would be much easier to manuver. The buses are a great way to get around at WDW and be independent. If you want to go to a park by yourself while your family takes a nap or swims I would really suggest it. Believe me I was really worried when I took my ECV with me about the buses and transportation, but after you get on and off the busses one time you will be a pro at it. Have a great time.
