I am concerned about the multiple stops because I have a
scooter and there will be 6 in our party. I will pay for preferred room but which stop would be better. That is why I really want POFQ unless there are no discounts there.
If you're staying in a Preferred Location, you should use the South Depot. Do you have an Accessible room booked? There's a handy shortcut pathway past the parking lot area which avoids the main building completely when getting to the South bus stop.
There are two covered shelters for the buses. Wait under the one for the park you want, and get someone in your party to let the driver know that there's a scooter to load. You will be loaded first before the other passengers.
Leaving in 5 days for POR and getting excited. Not going to stress about the busses, It will just be about my sweet girl and making memories anyway. I know everyone is busy. But if we are getting a royal room, and want to be be near the mug refills and not too far from parking or the bus, any suggestions? I know I have asked before but wanted some input before I send my fax over. How is building 90? Should I ask for a bottom floor since we will have a stroller or does it really matter since there are elevators? Thanks for everything guys! Will blog and post our trip!!!!
The Royal Rooms that are closest to the main buildings are also mostly the furthest from the elevators (see my floorplan maps). However apart from the central block, the mansion buildings are only two floors and the stairways are fairly shallow, so getting an empty stroller up and down one of the closer sets of stairs is not a major issue as long as your little one can help out by walking a short distance.
Oak Manor (90) is mostly closer to the main area, but as I've said before, the
very best rooms are actually in the northern wing of Parterre Place (95). I'd word your fax in terms of what
features you want rather than asking for a specific building (e.g. ask for "close to the main buildings, and probably on the ground floor unless the room is fairly close to an elevator as we have a stroller". If you had more time, I'd have said to also put this request in your original booking too.
Love the room number maps, Andre! Is that new? Great job!
That's what my dh always says. His day to day job is very stressful.
Waiting for a bus at WDW...not stressful in comparison.
Leaving enough time is key.
Yes, the maps are fairly new, I first uploaded them over the Christmas break, and I've been doing some update tweaks this past trip to finalise a few of the finer details. On my website, you can click on the overall resort maps to zoom in to each building directly.
Amen to not stressing about the buses - people are getting
far too worked up about it! You're on vacation, just
chill and allow yourself plenty of time, and if you get there early then that's a bonus - oh, and it might help to try to avoid peak exit times when coming back from the parks.
Just consider the alternative of getting buses from off-site hotels, where they may only have a few a day, and then only to the TTC!
