It's front car is completely overdone with a "Dreams Come True" overlay, not just some graphics in the windows or a Stitch out on the nose. It's so complete it even covers over the red stripe on the lead car. Pretty impressive, actually. I got some pictures and will post shortly.

Originally Posted By Doobie I thought it looked pretty nice. But then I like the stuff done on sides of buses as well. I don't at all like the overall design of the "Dreams" stuff. Just way too New Age-y for me. But in the context of the rest, I thought it looked good. Doobie.
