you only had to use 1 table service credit for Le Cellier? I thought they were 2 credits now?

just as it appeared to be more strollers too.. and as I said, with that many forms of wheeled transportation (chairs and strollers) Disney should look into some sort of one way side of the street (left/right) walking... it would make it much safer for everyone involved. 
Since it was a group of teenaged girls, it’s very possible that they were a dance or cheerleading group and the girl using the wheelchair sprained her ankle (an Ace bandage is very appropriate for some injuries - you don’t get a cast for a sprain).
At The Land, there is a wheelchair lane, well marked by signs and pavement markings. People with wheelchairs and ECVs do try to use it, but it is often full of people walking who did not bother to look at the signs.I was there from 9/29-10/2 and I guess since it was just super crowded, that it appeared to be more there to me..
My husband and I along with are two sons, 4 and 1 and extended family were at Disny from 9-23 till 10-1. Here are my thoughts about the trip.
We stayed at POP Century. We have never stayed here before and found we did enjoy the resort. The food court was very busy but we really never waited much in line and were able to find a table. Our rooms were kept clean however, no towel animals
Scooters....need I say more? Wow. I do not remember having to wait for so many scooters!! I think people are taking advatage of them. I understand getting on first when you have a medical reason but I don't think I should have to wait for the others to board before me along with their family. One time there were 5 scooters waiting!!! Awful!
I thought the parks were busy but we didn't wait much for rides. We waited 70 min for Splash Mountain. When we got to the fork where the fastpass meets the stand by, the CM took probably 50 fastpass to 10 stand by if not more. There needs to be rules. I understand they have a fast pass but you can't forget about those that don't.
Dining....T-Rex was AWESOME!! Wish it was on the dining plan! I highly reccommend eating here! Crystal Palace was very good! We LOVED Canada! We ate lunch here and used 1 table service. I would eat here again, if not twice next time. Hollywood and Vine was alright. I think I would try Mama Melrose. We liked the Fantasmic package, didn't have to wait in that long line. CRT...not so great. It was fun seeing all the princesses but the food was not good. We had lunch here and the menu choices, I think 4, were not good. The portions were small. I think I would try dinner, perhaps a better menu? Not worth 2 table services. We really enjoyed the characters at Tusker House, I would eat there again! Sci Fi was very good this time also! The shrimp was so so good and the milkshakes were nice and think! Ohana's was great also! Over all, we got in right away when we arrived and our food came very quickly! We had great service at all locations.
We had a great trip except for the heat and humidity, wow. Can't wait to plan our next one! Any thoughts or questions let me know!
At Laughing Floor the line on the right is for handicap entry to the show plus friends/family. A wheelchair cannot go into the stadium seating, that's why there's a separate line. The people in the HC line sit up front, and never get to participate in the show. There's spaces for wheelchairs/ECVs and benches for others. Most people would prefer to sit in the nice stadium seating. You get a kink in your neck watching the show from the front. I don't know why this bothered you.
All-in-all it's easier to enter the monorail with a scooter. HOWEVER, you have to accelerate a little to get up the ramp, and in a few short seconds you have to stop accelerating or you hit the wall on the other side. I know this personally. The real fun is entering a monorail where the other side door is open. I haven't seen it yet, but I bet there's scooters entering the monorail car and going out the other side. If there are 2 scooters, they aren't put in two cars, they are all put in one car. I have been in a monorail car with a total of 4 scooters plus people sitting. No one had room for their legs, and I could feel the breath of the scooter driver behind me. It was very uncomfortable.
The hard part of the scooter-on-the monorail is getting off. The CM places a portable ramp up to the floor of the monorail. The ramp isn't as wide as the doorway. To exit, you have to back up, keeping your wheels straight. This is very hairy. You worry that you could be at an angle and drive yourself off the side of the ramp. Again, I haven't seen this, but the potential is there. I feel like I should get a Disney congratulations button after each trip.
To OP: Writing about scooters at the bus stop is OK. Your badly-informed opinion of scooter-users fakin' it and making you wait, well, not OK. You wrote as if able-bodied folks were your only readers. Sorry, us handicapped folks are here too, and your comments weren't written in the spirit of Goodwill. Plenty of handicapped people stay at Pop. There's 2880 rooms there. Sometimes, the only way a family can afford to take their handicapped relative to WDW, is to rent a couple rooms at a Value and then rent a scooter for them. And I think that's nice, that these families take their handicapped loved one along for the fun. I know it must slow the family down a lot, but the happy memories for the kids and the handicapped person is priceless.
An ever-increasing group of Baby Boomers is starting to use mobility equipment; I am a perfect example. I now need a scooter full-time. Please find a way to understand.
