No. They detonate nearly everything 'suspicious' these days.
That the bomb tech is working directly over it without a full suit on is telling me its nothing.

Wesh update #4
The Orange County Sheriff's Office bomb squad is investigating a device found under a bus at Disney World.
The resort has suspended bus service, a Disney spokeswoman said at 5:30 p.m.
A worker doing maintenance on the bus noticed the suspicious device and alerted authorities, the Sheriff's Office said Thursday shortly after 5 p.m.
The bomb squad and a hazardous material team are on the scene, which is reported near Disney's Animal Kingdom but far from places where guests visit. But Disney said it has stopped all bus service until at least 7:30 p.m. as other buses are checked.
Hours at the Animal Kingdom were extended to 7 p.m., since guests who rely on buses can't get transportation.
The view from Chopper 2 shows emergency vehicles around a large building. A member of the bomb squad went into the building. (Live Video Of Chopper 2 Over Disney)
Dozens of buses can be seen lined up near another Disney work facility.
A guest at Epcot called WESH 2 to say an announcement was made over loudspeakers telling guests that they were experiencing backups with bus service, but did not mention a bomb scare.

Orlando Sentinal Update 2
The Orange County sheriff's bomb squad is at Walt Disney World now investigating a suspicious device found underneath a Disney bus, authorities confirmed.
Bus operations have been suspended, but taxi service has been expanded, a Disney spokeswoman said.
A maintenance worker found the device during a routine inspection about 3 p.m. His supervisors agreed that it should not have been there and called the Sheriff's Office. A robot and X-ray machines will examine the device, officials said.
We'll use whatever necessary tools to determine what that object is," sheriff's spokesman Jim Solomons said.
If the device can't be deemed safe on scene, it will be removed and detonated in a safe location. The maintenance building has been evacuated as a precaution.
All Disney buses are being inspected as a precaution, company spokeswoman Andrea Finger said. They will be put back in service one at a time, she said. Taxis will take up the slack in the meantime.
"We anticipate that all buses will be back in service within two hours," spokeswoman Andrea Finger said.
Hours at Disney's Animal Kingdom have been extended to 7 p.m., and water parks were open till 6 p.m. -- longer than usual, Finger said.

There was a number of buses running at Epcot. We're just getting on the monorail now.
Don't know if all bus service there is running, but my family that was at AK was able to get on a Poly bus and are there now.

After being shown some graphic internet videos by Disney Security of packages being blow up in people's faces, we've always been told to call security and never touch the package. Back in April I found an weird package along side of the walkway eading up to (the closed off) Wonders of Life. When I called Disney Security they said "What's in it?" I said I didn't know. Then they said "well open it."

I have the strangest feeling that is exactly what might happen.
I also hate at how the news are exploiting Disney. Well, how our news channel is exploiting them....

Disney employees in close proximity have been evacuated from the scene and all bus service at the Walt Disney World has been suspended indefinitely.

We have stations in Orlando that love Disney and others love to get dirt on them. They are also doing a story about cruise ships that are failing the environmental laws. Carnival recieved a "D-" and Disney and others recieved an "F." And, go figure, they only interviewed Disney on the matter.

To be fair, the others probably just told them to stuff it, and Disney actually answered questions.

The bomb squad and a hazardous material team are on the scene, which is reported near Disney's Animal Kingdom but far from places where guests visit. But Disney said it has stopped all bus service until at least 7:30 p.m. as other buses are checked.
Hours at the Animal Kingdom were extended to 7 p.m., since guests who rely on buses can't get transportation. A guest at Epcot called WESH 2 to say an announcement was made over loudspeakers telling guests that they were experiencing backups with bus service, but did not mention a bomb scare.
The view from Chopper 2 shows emergency vehicles around a large building. A member of the bomb squad went into the building.
Dozens of buses can be seen lined up near another Disney work facility.
Shortly after 6 p.m., bomb squad members could be seen placing something in an open area near the bus facility, apparently in preparation for exploding it.
The Sheriff's Office said the suspicious object was reported about 3 p.m. during routine maintenance at a back-stage maintenance facility.
The incident is the latest in a series of incidents at Disney World. In July, a monorail pilot died when another monorail crashed into his near the Magic Kingdom. A stuntman died during a rehearsal of the Indiana Jones show in August at Disney's Hollywood Studios.
