Yesterday (Monday the 14th) around 5:30 or 6:00, there were two Orange County deputies at the MGM bus stop, along with quite a gathering of Disney security, both uniformed and plain clothed. Anyone know what was going on? I found the presence of the deputies in plain view a bit unusual...

I have no idea what it was, but to have Orange County there...it must have been something pretty big!

Not uncommon
I wouldn't read much into it. It could have been more than a dozen things from casual conversation to discussion about a problem like shop lifting or a car that was broken into (the most common events that involve the police).
I think Disney has done quite a good job of maintaining security over the years and in particular post 9/11. Half of what any security force does is to maintain a presence for the peace of mind of their audience and to thwart the casual criminal and the other half observing and reporting for local law enforcement. My compliments. I have seen a dozen or so run-ins with security during my years as a cast member or guest and have always seen them act professionally and not overstep their bounds, even when one was physically assaulted on Pleasure Island weeks after it opened. The security guard was about my size and the perpetrator a skinny waif of a teenager who sucker punched him after being hauled out of a store for shoplifting. I was impressed the security guard had so much restraint; I, on the other hand, would have ripped the guys head off. Perhaps that's why I worked in CRO...

In my world, Monday was the 14th. However, since this incident occurred at MGM, I have the explanation:
"You're traveling through another dimension -- a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination. That's a signpost up ahead: your next stop: the Twilight Zone!"
