We are all a little weird
And life's a little weird,
And when we find someone whose
Weirdness is compatible with ours,
We join up with them and fall in
Mutual weirdness and call it Love.”

Awful. Heartbreaking no matter when or where it happens but I can only imagine even more so when you're supposed to be on a vacation of a lifetime.

Wow that is a terrible tragedy. My heart goes out to the family and the driver of the bus. According what I have read the boy hit the side of the bus and was dragged under.

Looks like a Gillig bus.

Praying for the family involved. :( Disney has been having a lot of bad accidents lately.
Can't wait to take my twin boys on their first trip to Walt Disney World! Planning on heading there sometime Feb-May 2014!

OH NO. Disney has been so good over the years at preventing this type of accident. This must be the 5th transportation accident in the last year. I'm not sure I can remember that many in 10 years before. This is just a terrible thing to happen to anybody.

My heart aches for the family of this child and for the driver of the bus. They are all held close in my prayers.

I wonder, are there fewere buses and tighter schedules, there are as someone said, more accidents lately.

Regardless, heart ache for all.

Oh my Lord. This is so sad. My heart goes out to this family.

What on Earth is going on at Disney that is causing all these bus accidents? Too few employees? Too many routes for too few employees? Come on Disney...this must stop!

So sad, my heart and prayers go out to the family and friends of that child. I wonder why in the world he veered off of the bike path?!

This one was not Disney's fault and there was nothing they could do to stop it. The boy was on the sidewalk next to the bus and, for some reason unknown to us, veered into/hit the bus and was pulled under the wheels.
