Right now only DTD is using the new system but Epcot is suppose to be coming online next week. There are going to be 3 phases to the rollout of the system so thats why the drivers are a little confused about some stuff.
:ROFLOL: :ROFLOL: :ROFLOL:Disney have designed the PA system to occasionally give guests unsubstaniated rumours and info on possible new parks. This will fully replicate the bus driver experience without the driver having to keep his mind off the road. :lookaroun
:lol:
Usually, a little talking is fine.
But you probably haven't experience one, who thinks they know everything about Disney World, and 99% of the information they give is false.
They just keep talking, and talking, and talking, and talking, and talking......and talking.
Sometimes, their talking leads to slower driving, because they want to make sure they have enough time to say everything they have to say. :lol:
Sometimes, they think their comedians as well, and keep on being annoying.
It's especially bad when you're tired, and you just want to get to the place you're going.
Wow, that is a huge improvement if the drivers are now only just a little confused.
The current "new" system is only the part of the change that invovles the speils and music.
The buses otherwise operate as always. Later, they intend to switch things over to automated guest flow systems.
Very cool to hear about the new bus systems. I can't wait to see it at the end of the month.
I hope these new systems and music prevent the bus drivers from talking to much now. :lol:
Personally I enjoy talkative bus drivers. Granted some don't have their info straight. We screwed up on EMH for DAK because of a bus driver! Some of them are pretty entertaining though.
I do look forward to the new bus configuration though. It sounds like a more immersive experience which is what I love about Disney in the first place.
I'll need to tell my mom the news, she wants to retire, move ot Florida and drive WDW buses. :lol:
Can you actually hear what is being said now? The older busses the speakers were clear and loud, the newer busses were hard to hear and even harder if the bus was half full or more. Add a tour group or cheerleaders and you couldnt even hear yourself think.
I prefer the "human" touch of a bus driver as opposed to an automaton. Taking buses in NYC, you're lucky if a driver will answer a simple question.What's wrong with talkative bus drivers? I always look forward to them.
