When you wish upon a scar

Sweet and holy Jesus in a Mickey hat, what is going on down at Walt Disney World? First the rock 'em, sock 'em Monorail episode (1 dead, 7 injured) and now two buses get together in front of the Contemporary (12 injured).

We don't judge, and you know we seldom question, but could it be that our friends at Disney got a little too ambitious when the Wonderful World of Layoffs made its debut in Orlando? We'd guess that driving buses, boats, trams or trains, all full of Disney-addled families who are long on sugar and stress and short on sleep and money, would fall somewhere fairly high up the tension scale, like air-traffic controllers in gaily themed uniforms. Tack on some extra shifts and the threat of sudden termination around every carefully landscaped corner, and we're not talking Happiest Place on Earth anymore.

Unless you're a personal injury lawyer. Line forms behind Scrooge McDuck at the big silver golf ball in Epcot.
