The statement said no service for 2 hours, and since there is no other way out of AK, they have no choice but to extend hours.

Wow. But how are people getting around who don't have cars? Or they are not? (or taking a taxi) This is crazy and hope it is a false alarm.

If they took a bus, they are stranded at the moment.

They aren't. People are going to be mad but it's a safety issue and you can't do anything about it. Plus, everyone is already getting free food so there's not too much you can complain about.

they haven't said, but I would assume that other bus companies, such as Mears and American Coach are going to be utilized, but you can bet that there will be LONG waits for buses from the parks back to the resorts
Wesh update #2
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 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. Disney said it has stopped all bus service for at least two hours 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.
Dozens of buses can be seen lined up near another Disney work 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

First off, I hope everything is okay and this was a stupid prank or there is a very large dead racoon lodged under the bus. But this:
Has nothing to do with the current story.

Are they driving all the buses to one place to do the searching? I wouldn't want to be driving one of those buses. I'd be nervous as you know what even though its hopefully nothing.

100% true, but do you expect anything less?
Yes, they are bringing them to a different facility. Bring the buses to the people who can check them, not the other way around. Especially when bringing the buses to the facility gets them out of guest areas should anything happen.
Edit: Shouldn't have assumed it was the bomb squad checking them.
