At Rutgers if you have room to move your arm where you could even look at a watch (if you were wearing one) then that would mean the bus is too empty. I have been on pretty crowded Disney buses in my previous stays and I do find that they try to not over fill the buses.

When you try to compare yourself to every other disney nut and see how much more of a nut you are then them :D

So here's an issue I have noticed, which way is the worst? Driving your rental back to MCO, taking Magical Express back to MCO, or driving your car back home. I know first hand only the rental car way. It's extremely painful to have to pack your trunk up and drive out to the airport. Then you also have the emotional stress of returning the car at the airport.

Boy, you must get really attached to your rental car during your vacation if you have emotional stress returning it to the counter! ;) :lol:
I have experienced all three of those scenarios, although I was only 6 the last time I had to ride home from Florida. They are all sad because it means your fun vacation has come to an end, but I much prefer a day of airports and airplanes to the 2 day drive home through the mountains and heck they call Atlanta :shock:

I can't speak for two of your scenarios, Len90, as I have only driven back and forth from WDW...many times in the same day...

When you can tell a vehicle is hauling Disney vehicles before you get anywhere near the vehicle doing the hauling. Earlier today I was on my way to the bank north of WDW and spotted three white SUVs being hauled by a big pickup truck and immediately thought Disney Security. When it got closer, lo and behold, Disney Security SUVs. Later, on my way to drop off some movies at Blockbuster, I see a flatbed truck hauling a ride vehicle at least 500 feet ahead of me and I thought to myself: Maelstrom. When I got close enough to pass it as it was going really slow (I guess they are really strict when hauling any ride vehicles to and from the attraction) it turned out to be a Maelstrom vehicle. The truck ended up behind me on Epcot Center Drive and I felt like I was "escorting" the truck until it turned to take it to backstage Epcot.

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.”

Oh Pop, I just found my 1999 video last week. It is so fun watching Disney talk of AK as their new exciting theme park. Only sad part is it mentions River Country, and Discovery Island.
River Country is gone? I wish I didn't look so stupid right now but it's probably close to 20 years since the last time I was there.

That's pretty cool to see attraction vehicles out there on the road. I'm surprised they don't have them covered.

Amy: it's not the attachment to the car but rather the memories that just last week you were packing this car up at the airport garage and now you are returning it to never see it again.

icpscientist: River Country officially closed in November 2001 as Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon were both larger and more modern.

MadEye: next time you need to find a way to take a couple of quick pictures. You need to always carry the camera around as I am very to curious to see how Disney transports items like that around.

Idunno, but it does sound like a sentimental attachment mixed with melancholy, Len90. :wink:

Ah yes, the fond memories of being tucked into the trunk like a precious package from the Disney Outlet stores :lol:

I always thought it would be neat to see ride vehicles out of place. I cant see figment as a thug either.

Indeed. Alas the camera isn't working at the moment. :x :cry:

When you are at a Florida Marlins game in South Florida and the first thing you notice is the background for the Angels players on the jumbo screens when they are up to bat is Paradise Pier (before putting Mickey's face on the Sun/Fun Wheel whatever it is called now and getting rid of Maliboomer).
