Funny bus stories

Yes, that's the one!! I thought his name was Freddy but I couldn't remember for sure! Definitely not a fun & games sort of guy, is he?

That would be a NO! Even people on the bus were talking about him. And when he was thru with his speel on the NO this and NO that, a man in the back answered: "Sir, yes sir!" The whole bus laughed.

One evening, we had gone to MK, and stayed until the park closed, after the fireworks, after the crowds cleared. We got onto the parking lot tram, and evidently, we all had forgotten where we had parked. My brother's family and my family had come in separate cars. We actually had remembered our section as "Goofy" and it was actually "Dopey" or vis versa. Anyway, there was no such section as we thought we had parked. We drove all around to all the sections, and the tram driver stopped and walked back to us and asked just where we were parked, and we had to admit we didn't know. By then, all the parking lots were almost empty, so, he drove us around until we spotted our cars. Talk about dopey and goofy.

Pittsburghians need not apply.

How about the other end of the State of PA. Catasauqua, just north of the LVIA International ( ) Airport

What parts of PA are Robo and MariDisney from?

DH & I will be in the World Sept.24 - Oct. 1, 2006

Mine is a boat captain on the boats from DTD to POFQ/POR. It was late and we were headin' in.The captain turned on some jazz real low and you could just hear him hummin' along. Between that and the rocking of the boat, I think half of us dozed off. When we got into POFQ he helped everyone off the boat, told all to have a wonderful evening in a very quiet voice and we headed to POR. Did the same thing there. That trip relaxed dh and I so much that we strolled hand in hand back to Alligator Bayou. It was one of those lovely, quiet times that are so rare on Disney transportation.

When they grinned at us they had vampire teeth! Not the cheap vampire teeth like you get at Walmart at Halloween. These were custom made vampire teeth that cover the existing tooth & somehow was held on by suction or something. It was very different! DS talked about that for weeks!

DD 32 has 2 sets of vampire teeth (different lengths) They were made by a friend who used to work for a dentist. They are made of real dental quality enamal and are custom fitted to fit over her teeth. She used to work for a haunted hayride and also did vampire roll playing games. She looks really freaky with them in. We always called her the vampire anyway because she likes night (works midnight to 8 am) and is allergic to the sun.

My favorite bus driver was probably the one who welcomed us to "Disney Air" and told us that "We will be cruising over to Animal Kingdom Lodge at an aproximate altitude of 3ft." There was a whole speech involving loss of cabin pressure, and ending in reminding us to be sure our seats were in their full upright position as we approached the Lodge. Cracked me up!

We were on a bus about 1:00am to POR from MGM. There was a couple on the bus. The DH was carrying their two sleeping girls, while the DW had the stroller. At POFQ, DW got off the bus, then realizing it wasn't her stop, she got back on at the front of the bus. Her DH speaks to her across the bus, "not our stop honey." She replies that she is tired. He goes on to say, "Tired? Who's tired? I bet no one on this bus is tired, if you are tired raise your hand?" Of course, all of us raise our hands. The DW goes on to say how the rest of us haven't had two crying, screaming girls to deal with all day. Then goes on to say how this is the only time her DH deals with the girls, when they are asleep. The DH goes on to say, "this is my trophy wife, isn't she beautiful?" Which she was. He then goes on to say how you shouldn't marry your trophy wife and how she looks great and he just looks old. Then he starts asking her if she has ever had to pay a bill since they got married, and she admits that she hasn't. It just keeps going, but they were smiling the whole time and so was everyone on the bus. I really hated to get off the bus, I wanted to stay on and hear the rest.

If that couple is a Dis'er, thank you for the entertainment!

Don't remember where we going (i think MGM) but it was from ASMo to the park first thing in the morning. It was toward the end of our week and I am NOT a morning person. I think I also had a headache and had not had my morning coffee. so I was in a VERY non-Disney mood. I really wanted to clothes my eyes and sleep on the way to the park. There were only about 3 or 4 families on the bus and for some reason we all sat in the back elevated section. I was on one side all the way at the back with DH and the kids were directly opposite.

For the first time in my Disney experiences we got a Cheerful, talkative driver. I was NOT happy! The speaker was right by my head and he was really being kind of stupid and annoying, not funny. Most of us were ignoring him and as my head throbbed I made a few very quiet comments to DH about how I really wished he would just "shut up" and a few other scarcastic comments about things he said (like "who cares" etc..). This is really not usually me, but I was just CRANKY!!!

So he starts Trivia questions. I know most of the answers because, well, I DIS!!!! But I am not going to answer because I am not getting involved. My girls try to answer a few, but keep getting beat out by the other adults or are wrong. Well he asks what the "most popular buffet in WDW is". Lots of guesses are made but no one can get it. Driver is getting excited because he has finally stumped us. I swear I litterally ROLLED MY EYES at DH, and looked across to DD10 and whisper to her (very quietly!!!)

"it's Boma".
DD says "what?".
"Tell him it's Boma, that's the answer".

Remember we are ALL THE WAY at the back of the bus and I have said nothing above a whisper that could barely be heard by the person next to me. Driver says "HEY, SHE KNOWS THE ANSWER, THAT'S RIGHT! IT'S BOMA!!!"

HOW DID HE KNOW WHAT I SAID???? I know I was facing away from him when I said it and there is no way he heard me! I am thinking they must have microphones in the back of the bus and he has probably heard every nasty comment I have made about him.

No idea if there are, but boy did I feel like a total heel. I got a huge smack in the "you know where" about being a jerk and not living the magic. Lesson learned.

And I popped a bunch of Tylenol and found a big cup of coffee as soon as we got in the park!

 

[Family Fun Mom]

Oh man, this thread brought up a hilarious memory from my childhood & it did happen on a Disney bus! We (me, Mom, Dad, 2 brothers and 1 sister) were staying at Ft. Wilderness waiting for our bus & realized that we needed more sunscreen. My Dad offers to pick some up at the little gift shop & then meet up with us at the MK. My sister goes with him & off the rest of us went. Then for some reason that I can't remember we drove around & then circled back by this same bus stop about 15 minutes later. We notice that my Dad is standing at the bus stop smoking like a chimney when he supposedly had quit smoking! My sister is busy eating a HUGE bar of chocolate. We on the bus are all exclaiming "Look Mom - Dad is SMOKING!!! And no fair, Sarah gets candy!!" The other passengers start chuckling at this scene, and as my Dad gets on the bus he is exhaling a huge cloud of smoke right as he sees us - BUSTED!!! Mom is giving him the death stare & quickly confiscates the "bribe" candy given to my sister. The bus driver and all the other passengers were laughing and we were too!

That is a great story! I am roaring here.

We had a somewhat funny, mostly scary trip last year..... we got on the bus to AK and our driver was a woman. she didn't say a word to anyone. just FLOORED it away from the bus stop. I swear she took the corners doing about 80!!!!! Everyone was holding onto what ever they could(good thing no one was standing) then she ends up at MGM....yes this is the AK bus.....she goes the wrong way out of MGM's parking lot, almost hits 2 other buses and proceeds to once again floor it towards AK. Now when we get to the turn for AK she once again almost passes it.....but does she slow down to make the turn???? Nooooooooo, people were almost flying across the bus......my kids wanted to know what happens when a disney bus falls on its side(we were pretty close!!!)
We finally make it to AK and as we all stand up on (very shaky) legs....she then announces that we made it to AK with 1 minute to spare(for what we still haven't figured out!!!!!) As we were passing her, she told my kids that disney buses don't fall over(oops...I guess she heard us )

We had a bus driver named Mark who was wicked funny. He should be in stand up. He told jokes the whole ride. We were in stitches.We were going to DTD and he pulled into the Hess with Crispy cream and bought a box. He quickly apologized and offered everyone a hot donut. He said it was how he maintained his figure. He must be 350+ lbs. He was fun.
Another time we had a new girl on her first run. We got lost.Twice! She would not call for help until we al started getting upset. I was just behind her and she actually had a map in her lap and a 3 ring binder open on the wheel while driving. I felt bad but I did report her because she was scary and obviously no where near ready to be alone. This 10-12 yr old boy jumps off at AKL goes on his knees and kisses the side walk yelling Yes, Yes we made it alive. I laughed so hard I nearly peed my pants!

We had Mark a few years back at park closing. He had a big stuffed Eeyore that 'crowd surfed' the packed bus all the way to the back and up to the front. Great guy and kept everyone from feeling cranky!

We thought he was terrific.We have had some others who just didnt have the disney spirit.One guy complained the entire ride about how bad thier benefits are and how he thought they should be on strike.

 

[dgboos]

We also had a great driver. He sang songs throughout the ride and would yell out we're having a great Disney day. Then when we passed the HQ he told us that they had the larges sundial in the world in the lobby. We told him how much we enjoyed our ride. He told us he was an accountant that decided to move down here and work for Disney cuz he loved it so much. He would take vacations twice a year and stay at the Poly. They are characters and its always great to get one that loves their job!!!

"Wicked Funny" ---- I just had to look over and see that you were from MA!!!!!

I have only been on one Disney bus once. It was from AK to DL-when it was DL, I think. I got so sick from the heat and eating a big meal at RFC, and having a panic attack that I would get sick on the bus, which was standing room only, that I must have looked purple!!! My DH and I were standing, and a woman got up and offered me her seat, as well as her kids seats!! I think she wanted to be as far away from the wicked sick chick as humanly possible. Sorry anyone if that was you and your kids! Not funny but memorable!

That's what they had. DS thought it was a hoot!
