Two Walt Disney World buses crashed this afternoon in front of the Contemporary Resort on Disney property, injuring 12 people, the Florida Highway Patrol said.

The rear-end crash happened about 2:40 p.m. when one southbound bus stopped to merge as the World Drive narrowed from three to two lanes, said Sgt. Kim Miller, an FHP spokeswoman. The second bus, which was traveling slowly, did not stop in time.

Is it bad I just thought to myself "Guess it's just a case of a boat or ferry accident, and then it's 3 for 3".

All things considered, Disney is having a bad month - but I'm sure compared to public transportation worldwide, this is nothing...

Disney have accidents..I have witnessed 2 serious ones. One REALLY serious.
It happens...unfortunately, just like real life.

Hopefully everyone is ok and it's good that no one was killed.

Also it's weird that the last three bus accidents happened at or near the Contemporary. When I was there in December 2008 there was that Disney bus which hit a van parked in the bus only zone, a few months ago there was that car hit by a Disney bus and was killed along World Drive and now yesterday's accident.
