It's no big deal to me. When I'm on the Disney bus I usually talk about the upcoming day with my family like everyone else does. The music and spiel is there if you'd like to hear what they offer, but you don't have to listen to it if you don't want to. It's not like their blasting some rap or rock in the bus!

Yes I'm jealous, but when you go once/year like I do, I look forward to the corny and being surrounded by Disney Porn (read: disney spiels, voices, music). I can see how it can get annoying, but for the first time visitor it's a good chance to tell them about some things they may not know about.
Originally Posted By RoadTrip <<I wouldn't call this a 'transit horror'.>> The thread title was facetious, using the overstatement of those who think the monorail spiels are the end of the world as we know it. I must say though, I do enjoy the blissful silence of a bus going back to your resort after park closing. Everyone is so tired, even the kids, that there is hardly any sound on the bus whatsoever. It is glorious. Now it is gone.

When you only go once a year you really want to take in everthing there, including spiels, and music. I could see how it could grow old for someone who is there on a very regular bases.

That, and the dip in the quality of the overall monorail experience, from smelly interiors to lengthy delays.

Its pretty much the same idea as the monorail. If you're going to one of the parks it talks about the things that go on at the park, what's new and plays music that themed along to the park. The only thing I found really annoying is when you head back to the resort it plays the exact same thing every time. Yes thank you I know I'm staying at Port Orleans, you don't have to tell me the exact same things about it everytime I head back. That kind of annoyed me. Also the "music" for Port Orleans was mostly background noise like swampy type sounds: cricket noises and frogs croaking which got old fast. And a couple busses it was WAY too loud to the point that you felt like you had to talk over it. So not the worst thing ever, but I can't say it really added to my experience in any way.
