Staying at a resort with multiple bus stops and a scooter?

[LisaRay]

I have rented a scooter twice now but both trips were at POP and we are looking at staying at Coronado Springs for the 1st time.
At Pop you just line up and there is only one bus stop and the scooter is loaded 1st. But at Coronado (or I guess any resort with multiple bus stops) how does the scooter loading work?
I would like to be near the 1st bus stop for 1st on and 1st off BUT the location of renovated rooms and also near the pool/hot tub is where the family would prefer. There is a bus stop close there too but it wouldn't be the 1st stop it would be the 3rd stop.
So just looking for thoughts from people who have experienced the multiple stops with a scooter. Thanks .

You will be fine any where you stay and the resort as fair as getting on or off the bus. And if you every have to wait because the buss is too full or already had 2 on it already they will call for another buss for you

Thanks I just hate to have to slow my group down any more than I already am by having to wait on another bus. I still have time to decide about my room request since it's not until Jan. but as a planner these are the things that drive me crazy. The things I can't control. LOL.

Other than early morning, you'll always have the risk of passengers already on the bus when it arrives at first stop as they are returning from the parks. So first bus stop at the resort won't necessarily guarantee the ECV spots are open. I suggest requesting the resort location near the amenities the family wants.

Enjoy your vacation!

By 1st on and 1st off, you mean by bus stop right? As you probably know you'll be the last ones off the bus, as they wait for the bus to empty and then let the scooter out. Not sure how that works when the bus is full and you have individual stops though?

What concerned me when I stayed at a resort with multiple stops was that each bus can only take 2 (or is it 3?) scooters. So if I'm at the last bus stop, I may not get on the bus, if it's full of scooters. At least if there's just one stop, I'll know if that might happen. Last time, I was at OKW at the second bus stop. Although I always got on the bus, our bus then did have to deny boarding to scooters at the last stop. Has that ever happened to anyone?

The only time it has happened to me was the day after the parks being closed for Irma. There was a man at the stop before me and only room for 1 more ECV.

There probably were 10 people on the bus. I easily got on the next bus. This was the last stop at SSR.
