The driver looked like he was more than prominent enough to handle this situation. Did the guy attempt to do him harm...yes he did. Was he successful...he was laughingly inadequate. It was almost comical. Should he have assorted body parts put in a wringer...yes-sirree! But lets keep things in perspective. The driver didn't even appear to be shock up.

I can't wait to hit HKDL as I believe it is the only Disney resort that doesn't shill timeshares ... yet ---- see that wasn't so hard and we both know the inuendo was there.. have a great trip Spirit, and I really will hope when you approach HKDL you don't run into a kiosk that reads- Disney's best kept secret in HK

That bus driver was doing nothing more than (seemingly) following protocol and EARNING his paycheck in an honest manner. I work for a Disney competitor right now and I have been attacked. The attacker was charged with assault, battery, and terrorist threats. >>I don't think I've ever waited longer than 15-20 minutes to catch a bus even at peak times.<< I wish I could concur

They seem to have buses ready in anticipation of the heavy demand. I can't say the same at the resorts, where I have waited more than 15-20 minutes for a bus... especially buses to Downtown Disney.
Originally Posted By bobbelee9 When you're eager to get somewhere, any wait seems long. In 31 years of going to WDW the only bad wait we had was this year trying to get from Poly to MGM. After 30 minutes we decided it was a good day for AK.

My kids often say Dad you should have said something to that guy when someone cuts line or takes a parking space or cuts me off in traffic. But i don't because that space was just not that important to me and is not worth getting myself upset over. Its not that I want or let people just walk all over me, but I refuse to upset myself because other people want to act like idiots. What example is that for my kids? As far as the driver could handle the situation and was a big guy and all that. I am in retail and I can handle myself and I'm big enough, but situations on the job where people get abusive and get in your face are stressful and do affect the associate regardless of there size or temperment. The worker is trapped because the job doesn't allow them to just walk away. And afterwards you rewind the incident continuously for awhile second guessing what happened. I feel sorry for the driver and I hope the attacker gets what he deserves
