I'm with you on the noise factor. During a stay at Saratoga Springs, my room, though a corner room and quite large, was facing a bus stop. Those things are quite loud at midnight, and they run quite late. Fortunately I only stay at that resort on the final night of my trip so it wasn't going to be an ongoing issue, but now I know to request a room away from the buses.Quote:

Thanks for your agreement comment.There actually has only been one,maybe two incidents where I had to call security,and that was in 2000 when we stayed at Allstar Sports,in Sept(our first on property stay).A group of cheerleaders and football high schoolers came in about two or three days before we were to check out,and boy were they loud.No consideration for anyone else! So I called security twice and they finally got them to shut up! I told security,that I pay good money for this accommodation and I expect quiet when it's nighttime,when everyone is tired and ready for bed.Plus,my girls were only 5 and 8 at the time.All of our other on property stays have been fine.Quote:

Yikes.
When I'm stuck behind a gang of portly electric scooter-riders.
this last trip my cringe issues were the bus wait for CSR from DTD, the cheerleaders, the huge tour groups, and the fact that alot of the food places and rides were shut down for refub or something..
there is nothing like walking all the way to the back of the park to ride something to find that its not running.. i didnt do my early investigating
Speaking of scooter riders or those in wheel chairs,I have compassion on those that are afflicted with some reason for having to be in a wheel chair or have to use a scooter,because I do hope and pray that I never have to use either one.As human beings they have just as much right to be at WDW as those of us that can walk.But I do wish that there were certain buses used to accommodate those folks only,and for those that can walk,the normal buses without those wheelchair lifts and ramps.plus,special entry ways for the rides that these folks are able to ride,so that the lines are not tied up with scooters and wheel chairs.Disney just needs to "sprice up" on this.Quote:

You're right. It's not just the rides, but the buses, too. Nothing like the collecting rumblings when a bus empties out, the driver closes the door, and makes the 15-minute preparations to get the scooter on the bus.Quote:

Let's stop the scooter rider bashing here and now. It will no longer be tolerated.
