New costumes will be given out starting Feb 17. All drivers must be in new costume by Apr 5. Thats according to the bulliten. However i would assume that they meant that the first day of wearing the new costume is Apr 5, rather than letting us wear both from feb 17-Apr 5. So there it is...

It has been confirmed that new costumes for bus drivers will be here soon. Supposedly on NOV 5. New costume is black pants and a grey polo type shirt with eppilettes on the shoulders. It is intended to look more professonal and somewhat resemble the Mears drivers uniforms. Looking forward to the...

Most of us have seen the new commercials that show someone opening a card or something, and the Mickey balloons start coming out, right. Well those balloons will soon be all over the busses and monorails. Right now, only 3 busses have the stickers on them. but they'll be put on as each one goes...

Disney has bought a hybrid bus. Yes i said bought, not just testing one on loan. You can see it at FW. Its a gillig bus with a slightly different nose piece and side panels.. but inside, it looks the same as the rest of the gilligs. its bus #4984. No word on if they will buy more, or if they...

On our daily update sheet today, i read that Vacation Club Way will be closed between BVD and OKW main gate on Tues, Wed, and Thurs, between 7am and 3:30 pm, from now until Sept. because the new treehouses are being delivered (in prefab sections) during these times. All Saratoga traffic will...

If your driving down Osceola towards the AKL, between the light at Sherberth rd and the stop sign to turn into AKL, you'll see some fresh pavement and a new median island that has been put in. look closely and you'll see the utility pipes sticking out of the ground. This is the location for the...

Was at TTC, and on the monorail board was a rendering for a new scheme for the monorails for the YOMD. It didn't say when/if they were going to put them on, but i'll give you an idea of what it's gonna look like. The front half of the end cars will be a solid dark blue. and when the blue gets to...

If this has been covered already, I apologize. But there are fences up between McDonald's and PI. I have heard everything from Disney is just getting rid of the loop that is there now, to this being the location for the new Dino-Burger. Although, putting it next to McDonalds doesn't quite fit in...

Begining today 9/17, the busstops at Marketplace will be closed for 2 weeks while they are being rehabed ( repaved and a new paint job ). All DTD busses will run out of PLeasure Island only. Cue line ropes have been put up, cones are blocking some of the parking spaces in Parking Lot G for the...

My managers have told us over the past month or so that Disney is planning to to test some new park hours. One night in Dec., they are planning on having MK open until 2 am, and then have EMH until 5 am. they are working out some of the logistics for turnaround to get the park ready to open...

Was on the news when i went on break last night. A guest dropped their camera and then decided to hop out of the vehicle to retrieve it, and ended up going to the hospital. news said it was a sprained ankle or something. But while i was watching, who should walk in but a Disney security guard...

Well, today is the day we vote on the same contract we rejected 2 weeks ago. Disney offered no changes to the contract and today the members of the Service Trades Council will vote again on the contract. The only difference is that todays vote will be to either accept the same contract we...

first off, parking at downtown disney is free. it's $10 for cars at the parks. because disney wants your money, if you park ay DTD, you will have to take a disney bus to a resort, and then transfer to a park bus at the resort. same for the way back. bus to resort, and then a bus to DTD. it's...

Disney changed their plans, and instead of going live at studios next, like they said on all the info sheets they gave us, MK went live with the new system friday. Fort Wilderness went live on Wed. ( I honestly think it's because the good busses have the system running and if MK was last, then...

Yep, there is one. We've had it for about 3 weeks now. saw it today in Fort Wilderness. It's black with Hybrid in big letters on the side. The battery sits on top of the bus and is 6 ft by 5 ft. it is a Gillig bus, like our new ones, but has nicer seats inside and a different front nose piece...

Well, the system is up and running now at DTD. we've discovered a few bugs in the system and thus have pushed back its rollout for EPCOT which was supposed to be last week. Here is what is working. themed music for each hotel from DTD. if there is more than one hotel such as the...

As a WDW bus driver, i can tell you a little about our new system which will be coming online in a few weeks. The new system will start at Downtown only for about 1-2 weeks, then the parks will come online 1 by 1 with the last one coming at the end of may/begining of June. Not all features will...
