Cool. But the majority of my DME always seem to be a yellow Mears.

Anybody got pictures of Tokyo's buses. I think they have round windows.

Isn't there an urban legend that Steve Jobs provided this feedback to Iger during the Pixar acquisition (I swear I read that in some puff piece on Iger). So, Disney's California Adventure makes it sound like there could be other California Adventure Theme Parks and that it isn't unique. Where Disney California Adventure is more definitive.
I don't necessarily agree, and it creates awkward naming conventions when they just remove the 's.
"El Gran Magnifico"
Mr Flibble is Very Cross.
Wonder how much that's gonna cost?

Name change here makes sense. The name Disney's Magical Express makes it sounds as though other companies may offer the same service, that this is just Disney's take on it. As Disney Magical Express, there is no mistake that this is the one and only DME.
Silly, yes. But should have been this way from the start.
As for the bus design... they can do what they want so long as the buses go back to operating in a friendlier manner (fewer stops, less folk packed in). I can't recall the last time we took a DME bus that was done up in the traditional DME style. So their rolling billboards will be pushing to get folk to think "Oh boy, Pluto! Let's cruise!". Meh. It'll change again.

As someone who was in the business of wrapping vehicles...I wholeheartedly agree. Either use real round windows or don't, but don't use printed vinyl to fake it.
"Hey, Bob, did you design the new windows for the DME busses yet?"Extensive market research has shown that fake round windows tested better and are more aesthetically pleasing than fake square windows.
"No, but I'll get around to it."

I think it's because Imagineers are not just engineers designing rides and new lands but also artist that might design a vinyl wrap for buses.

DH and I ran into Gus at Hollywood Studios when he was streetmosphere-ing as Officer Peabody. Excited to meet a "celebrity", we mentioned that times must be tough for a police officer to have to moonlight as a bus driver. Alas, "Gus Peabody" did not play along, and was a little bit of a (slang term for a part of male anatomy), which is now the only thing I can think about during the DME video. Obviously it's not a big deal, but meeting him in person definitely soured me on Gus so bring on a new video!!

The updated DME videos somehow manage to feel more dated than the ones they replaced.
