Stupid Guest Tricks

Were the buses Disney transportation?

I thought those are the only ones allowed on Disney property?

Beyond the transporation center?

nope ... you've got DME, the yellow Mears, and any private charter buses that are going to and from the hotels right alongside the WDW buses ...... from the overhead shots on the local news stations, they looked to be all white so they may be WDW buses, but not sure

There's also the AmeriCoach buses that transport the CPs to and from work and the occasional Cruise Line bus. There's also a lot of traffic in that area, both guest and cast.

Chances are they were both Disney buses. They by far out number any other bus in that area.

The article makes it sound like it was two Disney buses, thankfully this was not serious.

Disney is under the never ending spotlight, so you can expect things like this to be blown out of proportion. I'm sure among the first responders were lawyers for BOTH sides...

just saw some pics sent to wesh.com and they were WDW buses .... let's hope things don't get WAY blown out of proportion

Good point.

Nope, wasn't me. I only work weekends.

Two MK buses, the first one stopped at the merge as there was traffic, the second driver was not paying attention and rear ended the other bus.

Plenty of other buses on property.
Many off property resorts run shuttles to the TTC and other parks. During busy times, you will have private charters running guests to the parks. After the monorail crash, while the rails were still down, we had Dynamic and Bus Finders running from Magic to the TTC

You know...incidentally, I had just driven by that spot on my way to work not more than 10 minutes before hand.

Eerily similar tot he monorail crash which was an hour before hand but on my way home...

Way too weird for me...

So, I am guessing when I go next year to WDW for vacation, pick alert bus drivers? What time did this crash occur? Moe and I have driven on the roadways out there and they lanes end quicker than you know it.

I hope everyone is ok and safe.
