WDW Bus Transportation - Resort/Park Based Welcome Messages

Hello there,

Bit of a strange request, but I am looking in to finding out the majority of the "welcome" messages that the Buses on property show. For example, the buses to Old Key West will display Old Key West and then "Hello, Islanders".

If anyone knows more about various messages the buses display then that would be much appreciated. I thought I would be able to remember them rather than write them down when I was last at the world but, alas, I cannot.

Thanks folks!

Disney's Hollywood Studios - "I'm going to Hollywood!"
Disney's Animal Kingdom - "Hakuna Matata!"
 
This is one of those things Disney should've built a long, long time ago. Now if only they could get their busses listed in Google Maps...

So fun fact, WDW initially tested bus times and a request a bus feature using the in room resort tv back around 2000-2002. It lasted only a month or two and was a hilarious failure with guests waiting longer for busses than before.
 
I think they still do. They share with the Disney Springs and DAK buses serving the waterparks. If I remember correctly, they have shuttles from DS and DAK to and from the waterparks in the afternoon, but direct service in the morning.

It seems like they're not doing a direct service any more but I can't seem to get a definite answer.
