The CM will always say move all the way to the back of the bus while standing, turn to the back of the bus and if you can still see the floor, keep moving, or something like that. This concept in completely lost on some people. COMPLETELY. They won't even realize they are being a SG. :mad:
Not just guests do that, cast do it also. There are times that the MK Cast Shuttle is going to be full. The driver keeps saying "move all the way back!" and people will stop at the backdoors instead of moving to the very back of the bus. It seems to not happen quite so much now that they've changed the type of bus they generally run back there. The ones they use now have a slope to get to the very back while the other buses had steps. It's like the people were afraid to climb the steps or something. The number of times I've had to call out "move all the way back, people are still trying to get on!". The sooner they move all the way back the sooner the bus will be full and the sooner it can leave.


Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long.

We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious…
and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

I'm currently working at the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular (until TL reopens) and every day I get people asking where the ride is. I point to the West and tell them "about 3,000 miles that way". And some will argue aqbout it.

I think I've mentioned this before but one day I was leaving Universal's Islands of Adventure and there was a guy next to me talking on his phone and I heard him say "yeah, we just spent the whole day at Disneyland!"

When I was in the park with my cousin, we came across a SG claiming he was at Disney Studios. He was waiting for his family to meet him next to BTRR. I seriously have been at the Disney Studios and I have not seen BTRR.

Also, I have witnessed a SG ask if the Haunted Mansion was behind BTRR at Disneyland. Nope, that's at the MK. :mad:

Well actually the buses quite often make multiple stops if they are going to resorts, so I could understand the concern about keeping the family together, particularly if its a young child who might not know which stop to get off at or who might panic if they lose sight of his/her parent.

Of course they could both move to the back together....

When we were at the All Star Resorts, we did take the bus to certain areas. One morning my friend and I were going to Epcot. The driver continued saying please move to the end of the bus, we will get there faster. Some SG family with teenage kids decided to stop in the middle of the bus and said lets get the bus going. The driver said, please move all the way back into the bus. There are allot of empty seats and there are 40 more guests wanting to get on. The bus supervisor came on the bus and told them to move. They did not, hotel security came on and removed the lazy butts. Apparently they have been doing this for a few days and today they were being kicked off Disney grounds and banned from the park. :eek:

Awesome. Serves 'em right.
