Does anyone have any experience with wheelchair access and the shuttle? This is my 1st year in my chair and I'm worried we didn't get a Downtown hotel and would like to know what issues anyone had with their wheelchairs, was there a ramp, do I need someone to carry me to a seat. It's just me and my 15 year old daughter and I don't think she could carry me. Thanks LeeAnn
i do! they run a special shuttle service for us. essentially like super shuttle vans but with wheelchair locks and the like along with one bench seat. they don't hold many at a time, and they don't run routes like the regular big bus shuttles. it's more an appointment based/on-demand shared ride sort of thing. i just discovered the wonders of it in the last year or so. just outside entrance A of the convention center, to the LEFT as you face the doors, there'll be an unmarked table and/or a tall stool chair. _that's_ the headquarters of the ADA shuttle. the folk there i've worked with have been lovely. you'll have to make an appointment for the morning pick up, and the demand is much higher than the supply, so know that you might not get the time you want (unless you like to arrive a bit later in the morning). during the day, it's a bit more on-demand, and at con closing, again, an appointment is best if you know when you want to go back to your hotel. it does NOT run 24 hours a day. i don't remember the times, you'll have to ask.it is a ramp shuttle, so you'll not have to transfer or be carried or anything, just roll on and off.hope that proves helpful! feel free to ask me anything else, especially if i wasn't clear in my explanation. sometimes i'm not.good luck to you and enjoy con!mal
Thank you so much! This helps so much, I'm so glad it's a roll on roll off, one thing that has really irritated me lately is when I've had to be picked up by an absolute stranger, it's as embarrassing for me as for them. The only bad problem is I get exhausted and my pain goes through the roof so I don't see a quick way to get back to the room to rest & recharge. Another question we have Thursday-Sunday badges will I be able to go in disabled services to sign up on Wednesday? Or will I have to wait for Thursday. I would like to take care of it Wednesday so we don't have to wait in line Thursday & miss panels. Thanks again for the help Im new at this & I'm just worried 1st time away from home after losing use of my legs LeeAnn
How late do the Shuttles run? Is it 24/7?

When the estimated time of travel is posted, does it include wait times between shuttles?How early does the big rush start with the shuttles?Where does the shuttle drop you off?Is there only one entrance to the Convention Center? If not which is best for going to the FUNKO booth?
