Ouch! We've been lucky enough to never have an outage more than 5 minutes. Sorry that happened to you.
Re: "Even worse stories to tell," please share the worst.
We were at Epcot with a forecast for a heavy thunderstorm later in the evening. We left early and made it to the Skyliner, only to have them there was reports of distant thunder so the Skyliner was being closed just as we arrived. They directed us back to the front of Epcot (long walk!!!) to get a bus.
We almost made it to the bus stop before heavy rains started.
A bus was arriving just as we got there and we thought we had gotten lucky. But this was in the early days of COVID and even though there was plenty of room on the bus, the young women before us got the last spot (4 seats). Of course, they could not seat us next to her (despite there being MANY empty seats on the bus) due to COVID protocols.
But we were first in line for the next bus and under cover so we thought it would not be too bad.
We ended up waiting almost 90 minutes (!!!) for the next bus. It was a driving rain and some around us were getting soaked. We watched dozens of busses drive by:
The line behind us kept growing and growing, with those at the end of the line left to stand in the rain:
When we finally got on the bus, the bus driver had
left the roof hatch open and we ended up getting very wet on the way back to Riviera
while sitting on the bus!
About 3 hours start to finish.
