ECV at an All Star Resort & Bus Stop Waits

[Stefecatzz]

How does it work with buses at an All Star resort with an ECV when one bus is used for all three resorts? I'm wondering how often it would be to have to wait for a second or third bus due to others in line who got on before you at yours or one of the other resorts if you're waiting at Music or Movies?

they only go to all 3 when it is slow. there should be a CM there ( I think they let them know if one line get longer then expected or if there is something like someone waiting in a ECV) I have been to sports where a big group ( like 300 or 400 all came at once the CM let some one know and we had a few busses in about 5 minutes he then let us all know that the calvary was coming because some people were starting to change there minds.

In the event that you end up sharing a bus, and it arrived too full to load your ecv, the bus driver should call for another bus to come to pick you (and any remaining guests) up. This usually only takes a few minutes. This procedure is no different than at any other resort that shares buses or has multiple bus stops.

That was not my experience at Movies in December 2015. We were sharing buses at all times of the day and it was very problematic and annoying.
Yes, the Driver radios for another bus but plan on 15 minutes not 5. We waited 15 to 20 minutes from when they radioed. Remember the All Stars are the furtherest out from everything.

I was at Music over spring break a couple of weeks ago so it was a very busy time but I never had to wait for another bus - only twice were there 2 of us with scooters wanting to board. It really wasn't a factor. Every bus that came was empty.

Only once did I see a CM out there around the bus stop - which seemed odd - but the busses were running fine. Only once did we wait very long for a bus but that had nothing to do with using an ECV.

I ever had a problem in the morning as they have their own buses. At night going back from MK we had to wait for another bus because there were more than 2 ECV. But at POFQ I had to wait in the mornings too. I prefer the values for the buses as they have designated lines for each park and a handicap space for the ECV to wait in.

I stayed at Movies in October and only shared a bus to Disney Springs and Typhoon Lagoon. There was only one time we had to wait for another bus because there were too many wheelchairs/ECVs, but it wasn't that long of a wait. We had walked up as the bus was almost finished loading. I only saw more than two wheelchairs in the line that one time. When we had to share with the other two resorts on our way to and from Disney Springs, we got on the first bus without a problem, on the Sunday of Columbus Day Weekend.
I was pleasantly surprised with how convenient the bus system was for a wheelchair. We were really nervous about it before going on our first trip because I had heard a bunch of complaints about the all-star bus system, but we never had a problem in the 8 days we were there!
