Cast Member Bus Catches Fire at Walt Disney World
If there’s one thing that is “less than optimal” for this Disney consumer, it’s the buses at Walt Disney World.
Having ridden these behemoths for much of my life, both to-and-from school back-and-forth from work here in the Northeast, I just can’t stand the entire process.
The waiting. The whining. The armpit-in-my-face-ing.
A Tough Commute
So, I can feel for the fine folks trying to get to work via Disney bus in the below video:
YIKES! A bus on fire at the happiest place on earth.

Not what you’re looking for in terms of a Cast Member commute…
A Twitter user by the name of Mattie has posted a video of a Walt Disney World College Program bus that caught fire over the weekend.
In the video, you can see the white and grey smoke rising as the bus nearly hits the ambulance truck in front of it. Firefighters are yelling “Get out of the way!” to the costumed cast members as they run from the bus onto the grass median.
So far, there is no word on what caused the fire or if anyone who was on board was hurt from the fire.
Shoe Leather Express
So, as far as buses go. I always do my best to stay on properties near Disney’s Boardwalk and use shoe-leather as my primary mode of transport. And, yes, I am a dyed-in-the-wool monorail guy (and no we don’t have to talk about those vehicles’ mishaps ATM).
How about you? Do you avoid bus-bound resorts at Walt Disney World? Let us know in the comments!
I have stayed at Disney hotels for years and ridden the bus gazillion times. I don’t feel unsafe if it started on fire everybody would get out. In fact I’m going next week and staying at Disney for eight days where I will ride the bus many times. And I will not be afraid
