I would say 800 drivers since their may be seasonal bus drivers and such that pick up shifts during the holidays and other busy days.

I feel like this is price is right...someone say 1 bus driver lol jk
I know this is probably your first flight...and it's mine too...ha, ha

Rain upon that planet Earth. And they rain ... and rain ... and rain. The deluge.

Well, since there are around 260 busses, I'm going to take a shot in the dark and guess 300 bus drivers.

-No

384

-No

260 buses, they begin running around 7:30 am, figure three drivers per bus on rotational shifts. So my guess is about 750 drivers

-No

like agingerbugg's answer, but the drivers can't work 7 days a week. I would say around 255 buses x 4 (3 rotational drivers per shift and 1 for dispatchers and people who have an off day) = 1,020 drivers

-No **

I would say 800 drivers since their may be seasonal bus drivers and such that pick up shifts during the holidays and other busy days.

-No

** Hint: Len90 is on the right track and closest to the correct answer but his number of buses is a bit low.

Okay, so going on Len90's theory, I would say 1052 since the number in a May 2008 Orlando Sentinel article has the WDW bus fleet at 263.

Since we have been keen to have two part questions, I have one...

What building, visible from the World Showcase, but located outside EPCOT, was designed to blend in seamlessly so as not to look out of place with this country that provides the foreground?

Name the building and the country.

And no, it is not Soarin' or the Swan and Dolphin, which are visible behind Canada and France respectively.

I don't even know if this is considered out of the park or not, but is it that World Showcase Events Pavillion that is behind a gate in the UK?

The Tower of Terror in DHS was designed to blend in with Morocco, if I remember correctly

Good job, MouseMom23, it is TOT and Morocco. A picture can be seen here. Your turn.

That is really clever. Disney really pays attention to detail.
