Are the busses wheelchair accessible?

[margaretmann2000]

I will be staying in the Pop motel and I understand there is a bus stop there. But, my question is are all the busses wheelchair accessible?

Disney busses are wheelchair accessible. They can hold 2 wheelchairs or scooters.

There are even a few brand new buses that have three wheelchair spota!

As others have said, busses are wheelchair accessible.

Not only that - almost all transport at Walt Disney World is accessible including the monorail and boats. There are a few exceptions, like the smaller boats that go between Magic Kingdom and the hotels surrounding the lake (you have to step down into the boat). A few of the larger boats have problems loading/unloading wheelchairs if water levels in the lake are not right.

Even Magic Express from the airport and Lynx (Orlando public transport system) are wheelchair accessible. Ther are even wheelchair accessible taxis operating in and around Disney property and Orlando.

Wheelchair access is one of the reasons I almost always vacation at WDW.

when we just went to disney there was one time when there were four wheelchairs/scooters on one bus. they can now put the bus seats up and everyone stands and no one complains. the bus even tips down and a ramp opens up for them to wheel on.

The majority of the busses can hold either 2 wheelchairs, 2 ECVs or one wheelchair and one ECV.
If someone boards with a folding wheelchair and then gets out and folds the wheelchair once onboard, those wheelchairs can hold more.

There are a hand full of buses that can hold more than 2; those are new and I don't think there are very many of them.
If you follow the link in my signature to the disABILITIES FAQs thread, post #4 has a list of FAQs about buses at WDW, including a link to a thread from July about the new buses (with pictures!).

And they are first to board and first to leave the bus.

Disney is about the most accomodating I have seen as far as handicapped accessibility.

With getting the wheelchair unhooked and using the ramp/lift, the people who were on the bus with us are often through bag check/security before we even get there.
