New Disney Bus Paint Scheme

[Tom Morrow]

Oh, not sure if it's been mentioned, but I saw a bus with a new paint scheme that was different from the ones pictured in this thread. Same colors, but different design. Wasn't able to grab a picture though.

I have no problem with Mickey on Disney stuff. Mickey fits. Mickey works.

Really? I think that's my biggest pet peeve with WDW merchandise. For the longest time it was tough to find attraction/park/resort-specific merchandise without characters plastered on it. They've gotten a lot better about this, though.

If I can find it, I'll bring me Kodak Brownie over when we come and I'll try and get a shot of it.

Now I am as big a fan of Disney as everyone else on here. Why I'm on here!! But as long as the busses work, are clean, air is flowing during the summer and have a nice paint job then I'm cool with them. They get me to point A to point B. Monorials seem to have more of a special place in my heart but they too are not themed.

The first thing I thought of it looks like a Ohio State Buckeyes bus.

Just needs some decals.

One late evening at WDW I wanted to go to the Boardwalk and grab some cold ones at the brewery. I was staying at All Star Sports and planned on taking the bus from there to Downtown Disney and then change buses. I asked the driver where the bus from Downtown to the Boardwalk was located. As I was the only person on the bus he got on the mic and asked if he could take me directly to the Boardwalk. And that's what happened. Kudos to Disney bus drivers and kudos to the new paint job.

I can explain that. There are TWO buses with the new scheme - one is painted, the other is wrapped. Theyre going to see which holds up better and go for the cheaper option.

I'm all in for a new fresh paint update for the Disney Trans Buses about time they update the paint.. but from what I see the paint scheme doesn't have that Disney feel to it like the old scheme has IMO.

If by old scheme you mean a white bus with the word Disney in large print, then you are right, it isn't the same. It lacks the whimsy that the old ones kinda portrayed. However, and I've said this before, it has incorporated a safety factor of red reflective paint, done in a clean smooth style that trumps the old design by miles. When it comes to basic transportation, I'll take safety over whimsy every single time. It still says Disney on the side of it and it is still going to the parks, etc. and it is basic transportation.

Understand the cheaper option will win but the wrap idea lends itself to movie/cruise/dvc/resort/event cross-promotion. Kinda like a more expansive monorail wrap option.

I understand that but I just pass on the information that I'm provided.

I am not fond of the new paint scheme. Seems rather drab to me.

There is nothing "whimsy" about a plain white bus with a logo stamped on it. Not every change is bad!

They do kinda look like tOSU buses. Big, slow, and uninspiring.

That was funny.

I say that they are full of spirit and that is very inspiring. Maybe red and white would look better.

Photos just don't do this thread justice... how about a hole you could drive a bus through?

Thats a horrible sports photo. I wouldnt transmit that.

The old busses are cute. The new ones are not. I don't care if it is painted, stamped or wrapped and am not even sure what all those things mean. I do understand "cute", though. I prefer cute and Yes, I like Mickey. So sue me.

Last time I was there, I still saw the regular (cute) busses. If I saw another, I didn't notice it. But it might have been mistaken for a Mears bus or shuttle - wasn't looking for them.

When are we supposed to see all these new "city" kind of busses?

 

[AintNoOtherMan]

I like it... I still think it could be better. I'd love a new design which resembles Tokyo's Mickey buses, but with a dash of color. I don't know why, but I have a slight preference to the older ones. But neither are jaw-dropping or anything.

 

[Chas. Harding]

To be honest, as long as it has wheels and a couple of seats, I don't really care what colour it is.

It's just great to see one when want to hit the parks!

While at OKW in March, a bus with the new paint scheme was making the run to DHS. I liked it, and thought it looked much classier (well as classy as a bus can be).
