I was also very disappointed in the Jedi knight who decided not to intervene. If you got a lightsaber, use it.

And (bleep) like this happens on an almost daily basis at The Timeshare Kingdom of the World because no one looks at anything but the bottom line.

I wonder when this video will suddenly disappear from YouTube as Disney Legal uses its pixie dusted muscle to make it go away.

Would love to know the rest of the story. No way would I have stayed on that bus and definitely would not drive it! Overcrowding everywhere makes for dangerous situations.I have seen adults in a fist fight in front of the castle just before fireworks so this is not really a surprise. Hope Disney gets a wakeup call soon.

We can actually zoom in with the cameras and read the drivers name and his hometown on his name tag on their uniform. Also in the video one of the gentleman on the bus,{I wont identify him} was one of our plain clothes security officers and was in the load zone at the time and witnessed the attack. Security was called along with the OCSO,and yes it took them a few minutes to get to him. This was because the bus was in load zone C7 which is in the charter bus lot and away from the regular Resort load zones near the entrance to Hollywood Studios. If you watch the video closely you will see flashing red and blue lights illuminating the side off the bus.When the wife saw them pull up the wife took off,and tried to hide in the crowd,and left her child with the husband. Other guests identified her to security. They were then removed from the bus and load zone and taken backstage. The gentleman was then arrested and handcuffed for assault on the driver. He is also facing charges for Terrorist threat due to the assault happening on the bus, and public endangerment. They were also ejected from the resort they were staying at,and trespassed from Walt Disney World property.They will not be returning to the Happiest Place on Earth ever again. Also everyone will be happy to hear the driver was not reprimanded for the incident,and continued with his job that evening. I actually saw and talked to him last night and he is doing fine.
Also forgot to add copy of the security tape was provided to the OCSO,they are in turn forwarding it to the state attorney for possible further charges of Felony child neglect and endangerment. <<

Wow, if true! Charged with a terrorist threat? I don't get it, I guess.

"They will not be returning to the Happiest Place on Earth ever again."

That's good but, but what about WDW?

This guy is only guilty of three things: endangering his child, endangering the bus driver, and being a jerk.

I think on my visit next year i should just rent a car.

I can imagine the driver asked him to stand aside and close the stroller which is why he did not board before all the people since it seems he keeps insisting he was in front of everybody. It does not pay to ever get into an argument with anybody any more due to zero tolerance and cameras everywhere and security and computers that document everything for a lifetime...

let's be honest here spirit - 1/ this has ZERO to do with DVC 2/ explain the bottom line relevance to people being morons. If there were 200 or 2000 people in this area at one time this still could have and maybe would have happened.

Trying to pawn peoples behaviors off on DVC ownership as the cause is really lame. You can do much better than that

I know way more DVc owners than you likely do since I have been a member for 16 years- I don't one that would be the total butt heads these people are...

what if these are all locals ? Then what- ban Orlando people from the parks ? If the beancounters stop that would this situation not have occured. Are there NO locals that behave like this ?

the anti DVC stuff is getting really tiresome when it is stretched to an occurance like this

there you go spirit- gee what a surprise not DVC members- but likely a local tour bus...or one from not far away...
yep- timeshares had a lot to do with this

I'm guessing terrorist is likely the wrong word used- but Homeland Security protests things like all forms of mass transit...I hope they the book at the yahoo... one less moron on the street

the stroller issue has caused more than a few scenes when I have been boarding trams-- everything from tour groups who pretend not to speak English when told what to do - to those that just refuse and try and jam the opened stroller on
- to one total yahoo who was screaming at his wife for help with the mean old stroller and then decided to launch it airborne about 30 feet away from the tram and then told the tram driver "let's go" as the stroller laid in a heap near a parked car --

there is no shortage of total morons these days - anywhere
