So basically, the driver brought us back to Pop, still made no announcement, kinda mumbled 'you need to take another bus', and that was it. When asked, he said to just get in the Disney Springs line, which, as you can imagine, already had a queue.
By the time I got off the bus with my stroller, DS, etc, the line for the Springs bus was out of the chains (keep in mind there were all the other people from AoA, in addition to those who were already on the bus from Pop, and those who had been waiting for a bus after we started our 'adventure').
I told DH, no way we're getting in that line. It was almost 6:30 and we had no ADR'S as it was, so who knows what time we would have found dinner. I went to guest services and asked what the heck was going on. The three people, including the manager, were thoroughly confused. They said the only buses that should be shared are DME and the early bus they run to get ppl to character breakfasts, never any others. The manager offered a taxi voucher, but I declined as I didn't want to bring DS in a cab with no car seat. She then gave us 2 any time fast passes to use tomorrow. She also said she'd be calling transportation to let them know what happened.
A lady from transportation actually called me tonight to ask about our experience and she also stressed that shouldn't have happened, and, as I pointed out, the driver should have actually communicated about the situation.
We wound up eating dinner in surprisingly quiet food court, letting DS play in the arcade, and now I'm doing laundry (yay!).
