News New look for Disney Magical Express to debut this summer

By that argument, nothing could be classified as complimentary except maybe the air (but not even air conditioning).

The oxygen is free.

That's pretty radical...

Still with no fee thank god

That looks cool, they just did a wrap Makes the bus look new..

 

[esskay]

Meh looks like a real lazy effort there. They don't look modern, unique or 'Disney'. At least with the Mini Vans they stick out and make you smile when you first see them. Given the light colour they are going to look pretty washed out.

 

[Cmdr_Crimson]

My guess is they wanted to continue with a theme as the Cruise Line buses have that porthole window..

Also for anyone who wants their DME video vibe....The 2018 videos were uploaded to Youtube
MCO to WDW


WDW to MCO

Just going by a design standpoint the round windows make sense for the DCL buses but not for DME. The old design took ques from classic buses of the mid century. You don't see round windows on motor vehicles for the most part as they are impractical.

I do prefer the white primary color to the older yellow. Looks cleaner.

This is probably more of a brand guideline thing than anything else but the Disney logo just feels out of place with the rest of the "Magical Express" text.

Anyways this is just my thoughts on it.

Extensive market research has shown that fake round windows tested better and are more aesthetically pleasing than fake square windows.

Actually,
If it comes from Disney...
It was "Due to Guest Demand"

Side note,
I wonder if this will bring a new DME video?

 

[EOD K9]

Ohhh. That's a really good point! Maybe they'll do this to the cruise line buses as well and then use them all as needed instead of attempting to have separate fleets.

I like the different DCL bus livery. I like to feel entitled when we cruise.

 

[dizneeboy]

Did they just wrap the old ones or are these brand new buses?

 

[larryz]

So the livery says "Disney Magical Express" but the video still says "Disney's Magical Express"...

I say we fight for the possessive and start using apostrophe's any and everywhere until Disney relents and restores it (where appropriate). Disney's will's not's like's this's. (Gah, my head hurts just trying to type and read that...)

If this means they update the videos to get rid of Gus, I'm all for it.

There must be a petition somewhere to send him back on patrol. Too bad there's no more Adventurers Club to banish him to....

Let's meet at Cinderella's Castle and form a plan!

Let's meet at Cinderella's Castle and form a plan!

I'll guard the flanks over at It's A Small World...

I too am confused as to whether or not the buses are new as well, or if it's just the wrapper that has changed

 

[Kevin_W]

Let's meet at Cinderella's Castle and form a plan!

Sure! We'll eat at Cinderella's Royal Feast (wait, they use an apostrophe on that one) and then ride Prince Charming Royal Carousel (where they don't use one).

They are new.

 

[PeakSeason]

They are new.

I was just on one today and the inside did not look new.

 

[Notes from Neverland]

I was on one this weekend and it was definitely a new bus. They did a nice job of moving the monitors so they're more in line with the roof, and not hanging down. Feels like there's more head room.

I just wish that they would bring back the older video. Even though it had Stitch, the narrator's voice was calming and the "storyline" was enjoyable. I liked how they worked in the various characters (ex. Capt. Hook looking for Peter Pan). The new video just doesn't appeal to me that much.
