DisneyVampire 45 Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 No they true. It won't be long before almost every resort will have some type of DVC setting. Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It sure seems like that's the plan. I can't believe that we'll ever see DVC at the value resorts, though. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk Thanks for posting that, when I was looking at the drawings they had the entire food building circled and a vague demo note but I wasn't sure to what scale. My personal opinion CB needs the renovation. I wonder if they'll move check in for the non DVC side over to the food court building? That would make a lot of sense to me and separate the DVC portion.

WBI If I remember right, they are going to keep most of the DVC and regular check in around the same area like the other resorts. To keep the flow constant with what is already in place. Just one side of the resort is DVC and the other regular guests. Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites

arthuruscg 34 Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 It looks like there will be only 2 gondola lines. AoA > hub> HS, the other Hub> CB> Ep. But with that hub placement, I wonder if they are leaving the possibility of adding a 3rd line to TL and Disney Springs. That would leave only needing buses to AK/BB and MK Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The gondolas will have a limited amount of time for people to get in and out while detached from the cable at the bullwheel. If people are folding strollers or on a scooter and take too long the cable would have to be shutdown. I saw that, and also Hollywood Studios Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beckers 1,136 Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 Maybe you won't have to fold strollers? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DisneyVampire 45 Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 Okay devil's advocate.... what about our lovely 3pm thunderstorms etc. Wouldn't they have to shut them down during those? Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
arthuruscg 34 Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 I suspect they will be big gondalas that you will not have to food a stroller to use. Like on the monorail. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk Even if they have to shut down for an afternoon thunderstorm they usually don't last that long and just like the MK resorts they'll have buses standing by.

PghBob 31 Posted February 18, 2017 Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 I remember the times when they had a gondola ride in the MK. It was frequently shut down because of high winds. And, of course, they had problems with idiots throwing stuff down from the gondolas. I guess the new design fixes both of these issues. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Between people throwing, attempting to jump during grad nights, or weather related it was often stopped and the reason it was taken down. This is one reason why I think this is a false rumor. However, I'm in the research now to find out. Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If they copy their gondola there it shouldn't be a problem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
arthuruscg 34 Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 I agree that they would have to be enclosed. The larger gondola systems can operate in pretty high winds due to the cabling system design. I wonder what the cost to operate vs the bus system would be. The other odd thing is why not have a drop of point over by the monorail. That way the resorts would need even less buses. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beckers 1,136 Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 Probably because the monorail seems to be a hot mess of problems in the past. Someone posted earlier that I think they could potentially move equal to 50 bus loads an hour? That's a lot of CM's they won't have to pay. I'm sure this will cost a ton but the flip side of how many people they won't have to employ is huge (and crappy for the drivers!). I'm assuming the gondolas are unmanned?

Buses are for cities, not so much for Walt Disney World. My guess is that it is all about the bean-counters, not the "guest experience" but maybe this is one of those times when the two are the same. And it's sad when they have to plan a new ride around the Lowest Common Denominator and treat guests as though they are ALL walking liabilities. How about treating people like adults and when those few non-adults misbehave, punish them severely and publicly as a deterrent to other non-adults.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In this day and age of sue everybody for anything considering your customers and liabilities can be prudent. You could always tie the punishment into the attractions. Flogging and keelhauling at Pirates of the Caribbean, having to sit through Stitch's Great Escape for a full day, in Frontierland it could be dragged behind a horse.

I'd be in favor of all of that! Although sitting thru Stitch all day would qualify as Cruel and Unusual Punishment.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
