Tourist Dad Tosses Tot at Disney Tour Bus Driver

Tempers flare at the Happiest Place on Earth

Disney World is supposed to be the happiest place on Earth for a kid, but for one tot and dozens of tourists on a tour bus, it turned out to be a horrifying place. On Oct. 12, stunned tourists watched as a father tossed his little daughter at a Disney tour bus operator recently, sparking a fight on the front steps of the bus.

The driver caught the baby and gave it back to the man's wife who did not appear to be overcome by theme park angst. When the baby was clear, the show continued as the still-angry father lunged at the driver and grabbed his throat.

Some folks on the bus shouted for security while others grabbed their cell phones and set them to video record. "That is not a happy bus," one tourists can be heard saying on the video. The YouTube video doesn't capture the baby toss, but the little girl is visible in the video, dangling from her mom's arm.

Witnesses said the argument and eventual baby toss started when the man and his family tried to board the crowded bus to get back to the parking lot from Disney's Hollywood Studios park.

The driver said the bus was full and that's when the unidentified man turned his child into a stunt man. Police are investigating the incident, but so far no charges have been filed.

At least the bum didn’t toss someone else’s baby.

I hadn't even seen the picture yet, and I was already thinking the same thing.

“Police are investigating the incident, but so far no charges have been filed.”

But they will be. As they should be.

I suspect you’re right. Sounded like he may have thought he should have been able to get on first, priority treatment, because he and his wife had a baby. It could be some form of discrimination against this Muslim man and his wife, or he could feel “entitled” because he’s a minority. Not enough info to tell. Regardless, throwing a baby and lunging at the bus driver’s throat is pretty seriously wrong.

getting around the parking and finding your way there is extremely frustrating

What part of "throwing his child" didn't you understand?

Yes, the guy is a mohammedan dirtbag with a perfect mohammedan wife that doesn’t seem the least bit perturbed that her husband used her baby as a weapon.

Look for this incident to be investigated by Child Protective Services, after which the child will be taken from the unfit parents. . . sic!

Last time we were at Disneyworld, as we were coming up to the parking booth, a guy walked out and said he was escorting us to the special parking lot, which was right by the trams, for absolutely no reason whatsoever. We were very pleased.

It was a good thing too, because my kids are getting too big to hurl at people.
