An unknown device was found attached to a Walt Disney World bus Thursday leaving thousands of guests stranded as all Disney buses were recalled to the bus maintenance facility near Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Disney had all the buses inspected at the facility to find any additional devices on their 300 other buses. A device was found on one of the buses by a maintenance worker around 3 p.m.

The device was inspected by the Orange County Sheriff’s Bomb Squad for 3.5 hours before being declared harmless. It is still not known what exactly was attached to the bus.

UPDATE:
The device on the original bus turned out to be a simple tracker. No word on if this was placed by Disney or not.
