Omnibus back at WDW?

[ImperfectPixie]

I've seen it reported (by a "meh" source) that the Omnibus is back at WDW...any truth to this?

Do you know when the last time it was at WDW was? I don't remember ever seeing it?

How is bringing something back a budget cut?

Pre-pandemic I believe.

I would assume they are talking bout it taking more than a year to bring it back once the park reopened.

Omnibus, YOU are the Magic!

I believe that would be the joke...

Ahhhh...I thought it hadn't been in WDW for much longer than that. Thanks.

I was aware that they were using them for the cavalcades, but I can't remember ever seeing it being used as guest transportation or even in MK at all for a long time prior to the pandemic.

As with all of the vehicles, it was sporadic. Pre-pandemic, we had good luck riding each vehicle in the hour before park open. We’ve ridden every vehicle except the horse-drawn streetcar.

Thanks! I had been under the impression that they'd basically been discontinued (aside from occasional use by the Dapper Dans) because of how crowded Main Street has been for the last however many years.

Funny, I think that's the only one I HAVE ridden.

good deal, I was thinking more of 'labor' type stuff so I brought this up thinking they were using the driver/vehicle, just not carry guest.

I did see the horse drawn street car out that same day, but I did not see anyone riding in it, but I assume they were letting folks ride.

There must be a dartboard backstage where they choose the vehicles each day.

We rode it shortly before the pandemic hit.
