>When we were in Walt Disney World last week, it was different for us. Normally, we either drive down or when we do fly, we rent a car. I like to have the ability to go where I want, when I want. This trip, we drove down with friends in an RV. It was great, we had a wonderful time, but until late in the week, we didn’t take the RV because of parking options and we were at the mercy of the Buses. Now, the Walt Disney World Transportation system is wonderful. With just the buses alone Disney has the 3rd largest transportation system in Florida. I have the utmost respect and admiration for the bus, boat and Monorail Cast Members that have to deal with thousands of people daily. I can’t imagine the stress to do these jobs. And except for a bad day here or there, you normally get a very pleasant person taking you where you want to go.
With all that said. If you don’t have a car, and you are staying at one of the Resorts that are not on water, you have to wait for the bus. Most of the bus runs are pretty well timed. They come around to each Resort about every 20 minutes; which for this size operation is awesome, because Walt Disney World is about 47 Square Miles. But even with their excellent system, you still end up waiting for the buses and spending a good amount of time on them, when you don’t have a car. This leads me to today’s Unknown Magic. Not the Buses themselves, but the people you get to meet and talk to on the Bus.
A few days later it was the young family from Oregon sharing the bus with us. He was a teacher also and we got to talking about the testing and kids and teaching in general. Their kids were young, maybe 7 and 5. It was a nice way to spend a bus ride back to the Resort.
When you are on the Buses, talking to someone helps the time pass a little quicker and can lead to Magical Experiences, because you can learn about different things that happen in the parks or maybe even something special that is going to happen while you are there. Or you may just find out something that you think is really neat.
So, now you know, even if you have to wait and take the bus, there is an Unknown Magic waiting for you; the other passengers. Talking to some of them can lead to a Magical Experience, so say hello.
