353 - The WDW Transportation Upgrade Discussion

On this week's show, we invited our friend Len Testa to 'armchair imagineer' a way of improving the Walt Disney World transportation system.

You will no doubt recognise Len from his own podcast - Disney Dish but also from TouringPlans.com

So, how did Len tackle this challenge? At the forefront of his mind was to consider the impact on the environment for the solutions he wanted to champion. 

So he suggested two pathways to connect the resorts to the hotels. With Disney recently completing the Grand Floridian to the Magic Kingdom path, these ideas sounded fantastic.  Would you enjoy a stroll from Animal Kingdom Lodge in to Disney's Animal Kingdom?

The next idea was based around using the Skyway and expanding it into a true network. Below, this map shows the current routes.

The idea being, resorts could be connected to parks, as well as Disney Springs, to alleviate the pressure on the bus system plus taking adventure of this cleaner, and popular, transportation system.

We then moved the conversation to looking at the exisiting transportation systems and considering what could be done to improve them.

What do you think to Len's suggestions? We would love to hear from you with what you think.

Donna's WDW trip 

Our friend and listener, Donna went to Walt Disney World and she has given us details on her trip. 

Sucesses:

Snagging a ride on Rise of Resistance and a short wait for Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway.

Using Mobile ordering to get food quickly.

Taking a picture in front of Cinderella's carriage.

Custodial cast member pavement artwork.

Challenges:

Transportation  problems as the bus system - at times - could not manage the numbers of guests.

Lack of food options. 

Not all merchandising places are open.

Not attractions are operating.

No character meets but there are long distance opportunities.

Because of the above points, the queues are longer for the attractions. 

For everything else, make sure you listen to the show!
