Brilliant job on who ever was in charge of editing/continuity. The new Express spiel correctly states that the MK has six themed lands, but the Resort spiel still says seven. :brick:
Overall, the new voice is growing on me, but would it have killed them to have double-checked the information first? I also wish they would have restored some kind of description for the Contemporary and Grand Floridian Resorts. And I think the "Magic Your Way" spiel is in an odd spot. It seems to me that it would have been better to have put it right after you leave the MK.

a friend of mine believes that the new narrator is Tom Kane.

It doesnt sound very enthusiastic
That part on the Express beam sounds to me like sixteen! LOL. I had listen a few times to get it straight that it was 6 themed lands.

Nah. Tom Kane sounds much better.
Excellent points! Especially on the "Magic Your way" spiel, it feels VERY out of place.
A new level of awkwardness was reached when the "Aloha and Welcome Aboard" part was said on the resort spiel.

Thanks for today's laugh! :ROFLOL:
I just listened to the resort beam spiel and it sounds almost too perfectly voiced.

See, I thought the old one sounded too perfect... No one is THAT enthusiastic, the way the old guy was. No one I could stand to be around, anyway.
Somebody in TDO probably got tired of turning on the radio every day and hearing their "Voice of the Monorail" hawking everything from used cars to appliance repair. There was no exclusivity. Locals are just as likely to identify Joe Hursh as the voice of Del-Air commercials as they are the voice of Disney.

I literally cracked up at the placement of the Magic Your Way promotion on the express loop. :ROFLOL:
Not a huge fan of the new voice, but at least it's more calming than the previous narration.

A.The new voice is terrible. No emotion. As others have said, it sounds like a GPS, not a real person.
B.The Avengers monorail going past the Grand Floridian looks absolutely horrendous. Literally, embarrassing.

No. That's one thing I think as dumb as Disney is with these decisions, they know there would be an absolute uproar over. I think they realized the popularity of this when they started printing t-shirts.
