Disney buses get packed to the gills all the time. You say you've been to Disney at least once a year for 15 years and you didn't know this? The bus driver was following orders and doing his job best as he could under the circumstances.
OP: You are definitely one who should be driven around in personal comfort. Take a car or a taxi. And I agree with you. Next trip, maybe you should go skiing, on your so-called bad hips and knees.
have you never been exposed to sarcasm? I move slowly and I am amazed at how this discussion about a bad bus experience has turned into "I hate kids, strollers, fat people etc." Or even better, I am an uneducated, priveleged, self righteous, spoiled princess.
I have been on crowded buses. I have been on crowded buses at Disney. I have 3 of my own children and when they were young and required strollers and other items I did drive my own car. This experience was the first time I have ever felt that someone was going to get hurt. If the rude driver had not suggested that I was a liar, I probably would have let it go.
To those that suggest that Disney provides the bus free of charge--what wonderland do you live in? All of Disney's free items are already figured into the price of everything else you encounter and reach for your wallet to pay for. Seriously, do you believe that a t-shirt made in china and sold at the Magic Kingdom actually cost $35.00?
I am also having a problem with other posters that think because they have children, even children with special needs, they have a right to impose those children and thier things on other people. I do know how hard it is for families to get to Disney. I do know how hard it is to get children and thier things from point a to point b. I do not understand why people with children believe that they are the only people in the world that matter. The responses to this post prove that. Now remember , before you all go off on me again. It was my child that was being smashed by a woman that was trying very hard not to fall down while trying to hold her child that was throwing a major fit.
The original post was about the treatment of Disney's so called guests at the hands of Disney employees.
When we travel to Disney we have rules that we follow. Maybe others should consider them. We never stand in front of children when viewing a parade or show. We never walk in front of people trying to take a photo. We never separate families when moving through crowds or lines. In order to follow these simple rules we must be aware of our own surroundings and adjust our behaviour accordingly.
I find it really shameful that instead of seeing the original post as a problem that Disney should deal with the majority of posters have take this as an attack on them. Every single "guest" that was put on that bus and then treated as if they did not matter, as if they were nothing more than dollar bills being moved from one pile to another, is owed an apology. Disney blamed the passengers for what happened on that bus. Not their driver--
It is my fault my camera was broken--apparently I had it in the wrong spot at the wrong time. It was the parents fault my son was kicked and drooled on. It was the parents fault that a stroller came loose and fell on people. I am certain that it was probably the girls fault that her toes got smashed. Maybe she should have been wearing steel toed shoes.
As long as people continue to think that this is normal and we should expect this kind of treatment when we go to Disney--then Disney will never correct the problem.
