Sure do remember them.

I would think it would be difficult for drivers to safely maneuver them around World Showcase particularly when the park is very crowded. As it was, folks would barely move out of the way even when the bus horn was honking away.

I certainly do remember them - just always seemed a bit too dangerous trying to get a bus around the WS with all the people walking. But they were fun - sitting on the top driving around the WS.

They did help bring like more a "World tour" kinda feel to world showcase. They are missed

I miss them, however, there was usually a problem getting through the crowds. If it was crowded I would just walk but if it wasn't I would take the bus.

Always looked like it was an accident waiting to happen....people just didn't look like they wanted to get out of its way. Then, when it did stop to unload the characters, it was chaos with everyone rushing towards them!

I remember those buses, the drivers did have a hard time getting through the crowds though.

I remember that, it was cool. I love how all the characters were there at once.

Sure do remember them. You always had to be looking out for them and it wasn't easy to get out of the way in many spots. But they did add to the worldly feel of World Showcase. I think they were named after world cities, I know there was one called Toronto.

I don't remember them, but I doubt safety reasons were a concern. They still have the bus on Main Street.

I remember when they used them to travel around WS. Definitely hazardous on the crowded walkways.
It was much better when they used it to bring out a bus-full of characters out for pictures. There were only a couple dozen people there so we got lots of time with the characters! :clappy:

the buses used to have serveral stops in ecpot and teens were a problem. the bus drivers told us how many times they had to stop because they grap the back and hang on. people were always walking in front. still is was fun and being on the top in front was the best. of saved a lot of walking.:mickey::mickey:

Ahhh...memories of the past! I remember those double decker buses in Epcot and MK! We have pictures on those buses in both parks.
