ADA lift bus, lower capacity-- see these all day long (want to load in rear door, and step up into those seats... most likely to have empty butt-places there

Haha finally another member that has an interest in the buses!

The ADA lift buses are not all the same. There are a few different low floor buses in the Disney fleet.
2000-2002 Nova LFS: These have the back window which is offset to the right as the engine is in the back left corner. They are not very well liked by the drivers and had their share of problems.
2004-2011 Gillig Low Floor: The new fleet bus. Disney started ordering these in 2004 after the Nova didn't take off. They have been reliable and are now the main bus run by Disney. The large quantity ordered for 2011 and 2012 should really limit the RTS. All of the 2011s (46 of them) were transporting guests by mid Aug. Bus 5069 is the highest numbered bus until the 2012s start coming in and I was a passenger on that one early in my stay from Aug. 19-Sept. 1. It still had that new bus smell!

The RTS is now only going to be run for extra buses on crowded nights, to handle monorails or boats being out of service, and as spare buses.

Unfortunately, if Fuji took over, we'd probably lose Figment unless the companies have gotten over their Fuji - Kodak rivalry. Isn't the back story that Figment was originally designed to be green, but Kodak said that was a no-go since Fuji's main color is green? I agree that it's time for a refresh.

I apologize if this has been said before - but you may be a Disney nut (or perhaps just a nut in general based on what I'm about to say) if you listen to the Soarin' soundtrack and SWEAR you can almost smell oranges when it gets to that point in the song. [Bigger nut for knowing when that point in the song is.]

You may be a Disney nut when several icons on your computer are the different area logos from Epcot. Also, you may be a Disney nut when you're going back in February and all you can think about is how you're going to spend more time in the World Showcase and NOT miss Maelstrom this year......still mad my family decided to skip it last time.
