The "new" Magical Express video...

[kkayluvsdis]

My kids kept asking me "who is Gus? and why is he not driving our bus?"

This.

Maybe they were sick of all of us emotional Disney people tearing up and/or full blown crying during the videos . I dunno about you guys, but the only thing I felt watching the new one was boredom.

August 2013: DME bus involved in crash. One fatality.

October 2013: New video debuts on DME stressing safety.

I'm guessing there was a risk management assessment after that accident in which someone convinced everyone else it would be a good idea to bombard passengers with safety tips for the duration of their commute on a DME bus.

It's like 5-10 minutes of a 35 minute journey! I don't think it's that much of a big deal.

If Mickey was in the video did they replace it because Wayne Allwine passed and they are working in that (awful) new Mickey voice?

I know he passed in 09 but it's taken some time to change other things with his voice wondering if this was just next...

Oh No!!!! That was one of the BEST parks of DME, It always got us so excited for our trip... the video always made me feel like: "Okay, NOW we're on Vacation"

Who cares what's playing on the buses? After all you are heading to the most magical place on earth! Be thankful that you can afford to take a vacation like this. I feel like this is the most ridiculous complaint ever!

It was fun for kids. I never really paid to much attention!!

I don't care, we never saw the first one. I'll still be excited to be on it!

I'm sure we'll just look out the windows and say what we always say - riding along an expressway looks the same in any state with a flat terrain! The same hotels, billboards and expanses of nothing. It looks just like when I'm taking the Kennedy in Chicago out to Woodfield Mall.

For a lot of people a Disney vacation "starts" once they board the Magical Express. All I was saying is that I, personally, am going to miss that video. It was specifically something I (and my children) looked forward to.

That's great for you that you don't care. And yes, I am paying a lot for that vacation, and would like to enjoy it right from the get go!

I am a little disappointed. I loved that old video, wasn't aware that it had changed.

Can I also say how much I hate the comment that you should be grateful for going to WDW? I pay for the privilege of going to WDW. I'm well aware I am lucky to be able to afford a trip. But I am a paying customer, and as such can be disappointed when something is not as good as it once was.

And where on the ridiculous scale does a post complaining about a post you call the most ridiculous complaint ever fall?

The video stinks.

The video in the link looks boring. We rent a car so it doesn't matter to me though. Glad to hear we won't be missing much.
