Just a random comment on bus capacity. When we were at AoA this past summer waiting for a bus to MK first thing in the morning, the transportation CM kept barking (in her best drill sergeant voice) the following information every 30 seconds or so while we waited: "These buses hold 75 people and we WILL get 75 people on each bus. Have your strollers folded and ready to load as a bus will be arriving within a minute with a second one a few minutes after that. Once you get on the bus quickly find a seat. If there are no seats available, move all the way to the back of the bus so we can continue to load. Don't stop at the front -- we will make you move to the back anyway. You'll be on your way to Magic Kingdom much faster if everyone moves as far back as possible right away. The bus will not leave until there are at least 75 people on board." I think we heard that at least 5 times....it's ingrained in my head now.

Wouldn't backwards be bad? Though I guess if there aren't any people waiting to get on and off, it doesn't matter as much. Interesting that it can do that.

Watching it more, I'm seeing that they're changing directions occasionally.

Gondolas went up. Hopefully they won’t come down.

I'm sure it's been addressed on this thread somewhere, but they're going to really need to expand the security check area and entryway for the International Gateway. It gets backed up just serving the Crescent Lake resorts (only two lines for security). If it's now going to service four more hotels, they should double it accordingly.

I don't think those phrases were in her Disney lexicon. I will say that everyone got on that bus really fast...and I wouldn't be surprised if there were 100 people on that first bus.

Great video:
If you watch toward the end he shows in slow motion the door-closing mechanism at work, and it's definitely mechanical and not electrical.

The cars do seem to be powered, but despite what the video says, I don't think there has been anything official about what exactly it will be powering.

He still seems to have this belief of AC on board.
