Elevator up to Bistro de Paris?

They do have an elevator. Normally it is limited to people in wheelchairs or with ECVs. I will park my ECV downstairs and use the elevator.

It may be the slowest elevator anywhere in the world, I think it is powered by hamsters running on a wheel. But it does work.

Oh, yeah, I know those hamsters. Their older, slower-moving cousins power the elevator in my apartment building. It travels at one mile per hour. How do I know? It takes so long to travel five stories, I was able to calculate the rate in my head, on a single elevator ride!

My DD hates it when anyone touches her wheelchair without her permission. Because she can't speak, she will do whatever she needs to do to get their attention - which may include hitting and/or pinching if they persist.

We've had some of the same experiences on the bus as you describe, so we do the same thing as you on the bus.

My spouse has learned to be quite firm about it. He asks the people how they would feel (usually tries to pick a female) if they sat down in his seat and he forced them to spread their legs apart so he could stand right between them. That seems to cool their jets a bit but it is always frustrating and one of the main reasons we never, ever stay for the late firework shows at the Magic Kingdom and only stay for Fantasmic or Illuminations if we can walk back to our resort after.

I think it is similar to the reasons that people jump in front of wheelchairs and ECV's...they just see the open space and go for it without realizing that the space is there for a reason, such as to give the person time to stop.
