I was reading the thread about the bad experience with a Typhoon Lagoon bus, and it made me think of some funny experiences we have had with WDW transportation. I'll share one here, and I'd love to read about others.
We were staying at AK Lodge and waiting in line with others at one of the parks. We hadn't been waiting too long, but I think it was around closing time so there was a pretty good crowd of people. A bus pulled up to the AK stop and we all piled on. There were enough of us to pretty much fill the bus. Then the driver said, "Next stop is (I can't remember which hotel he said, but it was NOT AK Lodge...let's just say it was Port Orleans Riverside for the sake of the story!). We all said, "No, this is an AK Lodge bus!" He said, "No, it's going to Port Orleans." We all said, "No, this is the AK Lodge stop!" The poor guy was really confused, but finally he said, "Okay, AK Lodge it is!" I sort of think he might have pulled up at the wrong bus stop, as none of us had bothered to read the front of the bus. At the end of the day, you just kind of automatically pile on to any bus that pulls up at your stop.
Once we were at Typhoon and heading back to our hotel (I think it was Port Orleans), and a woman came running at our bus, flailing wildly. The driver probably thought she had missed it, so he stopped and opened the doors. She proceeded to berate him for five minutes because she was waiting for a Coronado bus and two Port Orleans buses had gone by while none for Coronado had shown up! The poor driver was trying to be polite but to get her out of the doorway so he could get on his way. I don't know what she expected him to do, but boy was she wild!
Anybody else have some funny stories to share?
