Didn’t they change the announcer a few years back? I think I remember that the new voice wasn’t that popular so they went back to the predecessor. That one brought back memories of my brother and I riding the monorail for hours as children, trying memorized the entire announcement in Spanish for when the doors close: “Por favor mantengase alejado de las puertas”
As a voice actor, and as a Disney fan…the new narration is horrendous. Bank VRU voices have more excitement, my guess is this version won’t be around for long.
heard it for the first time yesterday (6/17/12), wow…VERY lame, unenthusiastic, and un-Disney Like. The busses still have the same sound, so maybe a temporary speil…one only hopes!

The narration gets updated every few years. This is the latest in a long line of narrations and narrators.

I hope they update the resort monorail as well. It still uses the Celebrate Today theme and mentions 7 themed lands!

I just returned from the GF yesterday, and they had updated the resort monorail!

It definitely lacks the energy and enthusiasm of the original Jack Wagner narrations, and those of Kevin Miles, Matt Hanson, Joe Hursh.
Noone did it like Jack Wagner.

I really hope they bring back Joe Hursh.
Matthew Greene
Disney needs to let Joe Hursh continue doing the announcements. This new guys sounds cheap and has 0 enthusiasm.

Why isn’t Christian Nyby mentioned as one the best narrators of Disney documentaries?
