What appeared to be an ordinary bus ride to EPCOT quickly turned into a horrible scene when a Disney World transportation bus alarmingly approached a Four Seasons Resort Orlando shuttle without stopping.
When the Disney driver realized the bus in front of him was dangerously close, he slammed on the brakes. The Disney Resort bus stopped inches before a collision, but that didn’t stop it from sending multiple riders to the floor and shocking guests.
Once the Disney bus had parked at its designated station, the driver rushed to apologize and ensure the safety of all guests. Unfortunately, a young woman complained about a hand injury and asked for a bandage as she stood up, helped by her family.
The driver apologized and commented that he had given the last one earlier that day. Instead, he suggested the woman go to the first aid station near the Mexico pavilion in the park if she needed help.
Once off the Disney bus, Inside the Magic asked the woman if she was alright. “I was more pissed than scared,” she said, adding that her finger was bleeding after her acrylic nail had pulled off her natural nail.
The young woman and her family assured that, despite the blood, her injury was not severe but that they would visit first aid at EPCOT if they thought it was necessary.
In line to enter the park, Inside the Magic encountered another rider who witnessed the incident. The Disney Resort Hotel guest commented that she was horrified as she looked up at the other bus coming closer and closer.
“I was concerned. I thought he wouldn’t stop and would hit the other bus. But he stopped at the very last minute,” the guest commented.
