Well the Orginal fleet was getting on the older side, It was time. You may still see some of the older disney cruise line buses around for a bit. The new ones have a completely different color scheme to them and event feature porthole windows. The tv's inside are bigger as well. Hopefully I'll be able to get a picture for you all soon.
Yeah, I've seen those wizzing around. I like that they are using Van Hools, too. Very nice buses in and out, and then I saw the modifications that Mears and Disney are putting on them, everything from color schemes to seat styles and etc. I tell my motor coach driver friends back in Oregon how Disney and Mears got together, took an already awesome motor coach, and made it better, and they laugh. They just don't understand how it can be made better. To make any bus have a "WOW!!!" factor going down the road is a very cool thing. I laugh every time I see a coach in the oncoming lanes and think "Wow, that's a pretty bus!" I'm such a geek.
Some people are going to be wondering what the heck a "Van Hool" is.
Side note: Those buses have the coolest lavatories on any motor coach. At my size, I can almost do jumping jacks in it. I'm sure that's a visual you all wanted.

I noticed the new design a couple of weeks ago on the Beachline(Beeline) on my way to Orlando and was so excited, I had to call my wife and tell her about it. (I honestly don't know how she puts up with me...calling about a bus...but it's a DISNEY bus!) I like the new design quite a bit, but I must admit that I will really miss the old design, too.
