And this does not suprise me. On many occasions, I waited for the next bus to arrive so I could feel a bit safer on the ride. I had a 7 year old with me and of course he thought it was cool to stand on the bus. But on 1 particular evening, we got on the bus at Downtown Disney and headed back to our hotel, All Star Music. The ride was nerve racking at best. We were the last 2 let on and barely behind the yellow line. The bus driver had a very heavy brake foot and slammed on the brakes frequently, sending most of us bracing our children and ourselves. I complained at the hotel, more of a heads up about the dangerous driving of this particular driver, but I don't know what they will do with the information. I was not impressed by the drivers most times we were on the bus. My suggestion to Disney is to have a "secret shopper" type method of checking up on the drivers. Someone, posing as a guest, there to evaluate the way the bus is handled. It was almost enough to make me want to rent a car next time! I hope they get this under control.
