    I manage so far to keep it all in perspective by admitting that my worst day at FW/WDW has my best day working beat!

    While I agree totally with the spay and neuter concept, and all of our pets have been, I never understood the term "fixed".  The problem is that nothing is broken, it all works just fine...it IS fixed.  The equipment needs to be un-fixed!  :rofl2:

    I would have no problem admitting (bragging about) either of those things.  At my age, the statute of limitations ran out long ago!

    I know it, and for some inexplicable reason which once again shows how poor Fiends judge of character is, my rep points keep climbing, knock it off.
     
     
    You would think that, but it's just a coincidence.
     
     
     
    Thanks Beckers, that's very nice, but I won't be accepting any donations and would rather you buy those two little guys, and maybe even the big guy, an ice cream and tell them it's on me.
    See what I did there? Gutta get those bribery rep points up. Dave is getting too close.
     
    Anyway, these two guys love the visitor, especially Buddy.
    It's odd that he wants nothing to do with Dobby, but loves the kitten.
     

     
     
    She was not a basket case like Lil Lou when I found him. She's been eating and drinking and doing everything else normally, but I guess because she's been a stray for her entire short life, she was keeping to herself until today. She's started acting like a kitten and is playing as she should be.

    My math is simple... if there are more than 2 digits total or the first number is greater than 2 ... it's too long.

    Let 'em lock up all the phones and such.  My grandkids can't sit or stand up straight without something like that in their hands.

    Sorry not to piss anyone off, but I fail to see the humor in anything with that man in it. He makes me sick to my stomach.

    Mtnmanky...aka Leon reacted to Lou... in Keys to the Kingdom tour for adult first time visitor?   
    Actually that's not where I got the name from, it's work related.
    Buses are referred to based on whatever bus hub they're operating from.
    If you're working out of DHS, you're a Studiosbus, if you're working out of Epcot, you're an Epcotbus, and if you're working out of the MK, wait for it,........... you're a Magicbus. The other hub names didn't sound as good as Magibus, and as I liked driving out of the MK, it was Magicbus.
     
    And while I have your attention Ramon, I'd like to respond to something you said in a previous post.
     
    "Next time your in the MK look into the eyes of those little ones that are seeing Main Street USA and Cindys castle for the first time and tell me you don't see the magic in their eyes".
     
    There is no need for me to go into a park to witness that, and I'm assuming that the other drivers have experienced the same thing, but I have seen that same look in hundreds of kids eyes over the years as they get on the bus.
     
    They'll look up at me, pause, and look at me as if I'm something special, not just schmuck face bus driver.
    Sometimes, I'll get a little wave from the real little ones as they pass by in their parents arms. Or every once in a while, after the ride is over, one will ask for a hug. And even though you all know I don't hug, I do.
     
    There are 2 incidents that really stand out though. The first was when a little boy ran up to me, he was very excited. He opened up his hands and showed me a little toy Disney bus that he had just gotten. His mom told me that he just had to show it to me, wow.
    And the other was when another little boy handed me a home made card when we arrived at the park which read, thanks for making my visit magical. Whoa, another big wow.
    These types of incidents caught me off guard when I first started, and I remember telling my wife about them when they occurred.
     
    My time as a WDW bus driver is probably drawing to a close in the not too distant future. It's become a job now, and after six years, it's getting kinda old. I'm going through the motions, but one of the things that keeps me going are those types of incidents, which btw, and I'm glad to say, still happen on occasion.
     
    So yes, I do know what the magic is, and where to find it.
