WDW Buses

[LindsayDunn228]

I posted this on the Tips board but I decided to post it here as well.

I ran into a big no-no/disrespect thing while I was there 2 weeks ago. Like I've mentioned, I am a paraplegic and use a wheelchair, so needless to say when I take the WDW buses I have to use the lift/ramp located near the back. In most cases, the bus driver's close the front door and come help me aboard and strap down my chair. Now most of the time the outside of the wheelchair door is marked DO NOT ENTER or EXIT ONLY. What killed me was while the bus driver was busy w/ my chair, people would climb on the lift/ramp and get on the bus.

HELLO?! The main door to the bus is closed and it's obvious why. What are people thinking?! I had to give props to the drivers who made them get back off and wait for him to open the other doors. Furthermore, if you can read English, the DO NOT ENTER signs are plain as the nose on your face.

One time I was waiting for bus and another bus pulled up. Both doors open but there was a huge DO NOT ENTER sign right where you could see it. This man uses it anyway and gets on the bus. The bus driver called out the guy, made him get off and get on using the entrance doors. I nearly laughed!!

So folks, please respect the signs, wait your turn, and don't get impatient when a wheelchair has to board.

LindsayDunn228,

I'm sorry to hear that happened to you. Some people I guess were only thinking of themselves instead of the person the driver was helping get on the bus.

It wasn't the fact I was getting my chair strapped down and he came in anyway, it was the fact that he couldn't respect the fact he was going to have to wait just like everyone else and get on the bus the right way.
