As part of the new DVC area being constructed at the Grand Floridian resort, the second in a series of monorail closures came into effect this week. This should run for no longer than a week, and the monorail beams will be closed from 11:30 am to 6:00 pm. Additional transport is being provided during the works, in the form of watercraft and busses.
We heard earlier this month that Disney were looking at introducing Articulated busses to their transport fleet to allow larger numbers of passengers to be transported to and from the parks. Yesterday several people spotted a Nova Bus LFS Arctic being tested by Disney Transport. The bus will be tested into mid-April. All going well, the plan is to use these types of busses between value/moderate resorts and the parks.
Each of these busses are 62ft long and capable of carrying upto 112 passengers at a time.
