"Mickey Mouse" bus?

[DISFANSHAN]

We're just back from 4 days at Disney World. I was wondering if anyone knows who/what is transported on the Disney buses that say "Mickey Mouse"? You know, the buses that bring you to/from your hotel and the parks......they usually say "Magic Kingdon", or "Pop Century", etc., but this past trip I kept seeing one that said "Mickey Mouse".
Just wondering!

I might be wrong but I think they are pretty much cast member buses to get the CM's back and forth. Sometimes they send special buses to get people to and from places quicker like if you had a character breakfast you had to get to, they'll let you on these Mickey Mouse buses. I'm not 100% sure but I think that's it.

We saw those a lot too while we were at WDW 7/28-8/13.

I think someone once said they were being used for training also.

I think they put that sign on when the bus is not in service for guests.

I also saw a few of these when we were there last month, and I asked one of our bus drivers about it. He said it's a recent (within the last year) alternative to the "VIP Cast Member" or having nothing on the screen, and that those designations are primarily used when they transport cast members or when bus drivers are done with their shift. There may be more uses, but that's the info I was given.

Bingo!

I needed a ride back to a hotel really early in the morning (half and hour after MGM opened- I went over early to ride TOT and RNR before leaving at 10 am. When I was picked up they put Mickey Mouse on the bus so that none of the guest would try to get on it because the driver was going off duty when he dropped me off.
