Disney Bus Drivers are AWESOME!

Hi,

Just got back from WDW two days ago. We used Disney transportation during our entire 8 day stay. I was so impressed with the Disney bus drivers. From ME drivers to theme park bus drivers, to me, they were the stars of our trip. From service with a smile to their sense of humor to their helpful directions, they sure added some pixie dust to the monotony of bus transportation to and from the parks and airport.

While no one was happy to wait for an hour at POR for an MK bus on two evenings and no one liked the sometimes long wait and crowded buses at MK back to POR, these guys and gals were the picture of patience. This was our 8th trip to WDW. We have always used WDW bus/monorail/boat transportation each time. Kudos and a big thank you to all the amazing bus and boat drivers we encountered.

On our trip in November, we also encountered some truly magical Disney transportation CMs on the monorails and buses. A few were very rich sources of Disney trivia and tips.

I also agree that the vast majority of bus drivers are so nice and friendly and very helpful.
Also, they are the ONLY Disney employess who know anything about transportation within WDW!!!!

And they weave such incredible tales about what used to be or what will be -- they have such vivid imaginations!

and we had a pleasant experience with disney's magical express to just taking the buses to and from the parks. Everyone was very pleasant. One night we had a lady on our bus I think her name was Carol... we had just left MGM and missed Fantasmic b/c it was raining pretty hard and thundering.. I was pretty upset but the whole ride back to Saratoga Springs she was giving us some disney trivia and asking questions while the bus driver was driving.. (She was a Disney employee) and knew tons about WDW. It made the ride back rather fun!!

I have to jump in here too....the drivers were awesome!!!

I had a magical moment with a driver at the CBR. I needed to get from CBR to the Boardwalk. So I hopped on a DTD bus and asked the driver which slot was the Boardwalks. He told me that if no one got on the bus to go back to DTD then he would take me straight there so I wouldn't have to wait for another bus!! No one got on so I got a straight shot to the Boardwalk!! I was so excited!!

Then there was Jim on the CBR internal shuttle who made sure that he came back to get me after I got off at the Custom house. He was about ready to be done for the night but told me to wait outside and he would make one more extra run and pick me up. Sure enough he did just as he said and came back and took me back to my building!!
