what are the ME busses like?

[David Grossman]

I am planning a special trip and trying to to understand what the ME busses are like. Are they Nice seats, bathrooms, ect? or is it just a plain transportation buss?

Thanks

They are the nice, comfortable touring buses. You're high up and there is plenty of room for luggage underneath. If you've seen the cruise buses, that's what they are. On our way from the resort to the airport, the driver played a video that described the Orlando airport and then a Little Mermaid video which was great for keeping children occupied.

I can't recall if there is a restroom on it. Depending on where you're staying, you should be on the bus for less than an hour.

I'm pretty sure I saw a bathroom in the back -- but with less than a hour trip, even with multiple stops, I can't imagine being desperate enough to try it!

The ME buses are more like a touring bus (with padded seats, high seatbacks, foot rests, multiple TV screens, etc.) than a regular WDW transportation bus.

I sat in the back of two busses last week. There are definitely bathrooms, but I don't think I'd be brave enough to use them. I'd be hitting the bathroom at the airport and then again at the hotel if I really had to go!

The DME coaches are 2005 model VanHool C2045 european touring coaches. Also used on DME are Disney Cruise Line coaches, and standard Mears coaches. All are pretty equal on the inside. Even the oldest of them all (the DCL coaches are '97s) are really nice inside.

They all do have restrooms on board, but I'd recommend avoiding them. They're VERY tiny, and uhh... objects in motion tend to stay in motion.

Here's a DCL coach:
