More Wrapped Buses

[The Visionary Soul]

On a recent visit to WDW I have noticed a vastly increased number of wrapped Disney buses driving around the resort. No photos from me because I was driving, but I was curious if anyone else has noticed the same thing. Agent Carter was on the most recent wrap I saw.

It's for Agent Carter and Disney Infinity 2.0

not completely against it but i wish the wrap was confined to maybe the central section of the buses...and bottom and top front/back remained in classic livery so that they still fit into the Disney fleet look...

If it makes you feel any better, the roof is still white.

that would have cost money...and nobody would see it on a daily basis....disney strikes again.....

At least the design work is decent, vs just slapping a giant logo on the side. I like how they made the agent carter one look like a vintage bus.

Actually, the roof never gets touched. Even with the new silver/red scheme, the roof is still white. Why waste the space if nobody will see it?

Nothing to help take you out of the real world like giant Disney ads on the sides of buses.

Kinda reminds me of the billboards in the parking lot and within the studios.

I see that blight when I ride the train into Chicago.

I prefer general theming.

This type of theming screams Resort over advertising all their other wares.

The property doesn't promise to remove you from reality, that is the parks themselves. As long as those busses aren't running through the parks, then the theme doesn't really cause a problem. There are plenty of non-Disney busses running around to pull you into reality, why are these suddenly bad?

 

[ImagineerDude]

I don't think these are all that bad. It's not like they're permanent or anything. Seeing a Best Western or signs for I-4 don't help the whole escape from reality thing. Or $17 to park (or whatever it is now)

White is to reflect the heat from the sun away from the bus. Pretty much a necessity in Florida. And as you say, who cares what the color of the roof is. If that is what people are focusing in on, perhaps their attentions are misdirected.

The whole reason a county sized plot of land was purchased was to create a separation. It's the clutter and chaos of imagery that was avoided being brought in.

I think they look really cool.

Seems like a silly thing to complain about.

 

[HakunaMatata89]

i actually think the agent carter one looks neat.


the bus theming doesn't really bother me.

Less wrap material = more cost??

Edit: I'm an idiot.

It is not theming. Theming creates an experience. These are advertisements.

 

[tissandtully]

These are cool, don't see a problem with it.

I think the Agent Carter bus looks really cool. No problem here.

The Agent Carter wrap is pretty awesome.
