No one was bashing DVC or linking it to this bus issue save for the fact that DVC IS a big part of WDW, and this is where it happened.

I assume that means somewhere along the line The Spirit will be announcing the opening of an unexpectedly terrific new E-ticket at the "Timeshare Kingdom of the World". Yea. Like that will happen! ROTFL

It is what it is. If YOU want to find it offensive because you are tied to the product just being mentioned, I have no control over that.

It's been around a while, before 9/11, but many people nowadays link "terrorist threats" more to something other than it used being used for here.

What happened on the bus was disgusting, although it happens much more frequently than most want to believe. And DVC had nothing to do with it. But it did happen at The Timeshare Kingdom of the World. I can't wait to hit HKDL as I believe it is the only Disney resort that doesn't shill timeshares ... yet.
