It is weirder that Disney Walt Disney World has avoided that branding for so long.

Only 10 cars in the whole system!? Capacity is going to suck.
960 per hour total riders if all were sent full (8 riders x 10 cabins x (60minutes/5minute trips))
Still 18 - 20 buses.
That exemplifies why this is being built, IMO.

But they're apparently massive. I worry about cars that size snapping the rope and plummeting to the ground.Only 10 cars in the whole system!? Capacity is going to suck.

They are keeping demand down by making them giant solar ovens. Transportation to you destination is free... as long as you don't roast first!Only 10 cars in the whole system!? Capacity is going to suck.
I'm glad that they decided to have the Epcot gondola at the front gate so that you can easily transfer to the monorail. But I'm not so keen that you have to take the Tower or Terror elevator down to get off in DHS.

Do you know how much of the trip to the front of Epcot will be underwater? I heard it was going through cresent lake to the the world showcase lagoon.

It's really out of place with the rest of the resorts that use Disney's. Not to mention Disney's Hollywood Studios, Disney's Animal Kingdom, Disney's Typhoon Lagoon, and Disney's Blizzard Beach. Disney Riviera Resort just sounds like someone is saying it wrong.

I agree, I honestly hate the dropping of the 's, especially for DCA, it just makes no sense? and like you said, Disney (sans 's) Riviera Resort feels very out of place on WDW property

Perhaps it was a typo that no one caught.

It had the 's on the slide at D23, so somebody goofed.
"Disney" can be an adjective, such as in "I'm taking a Disney vacation."

Unfortunately, the non-possessive branding is correct and is consistent with the rest of the company's use of "Disney." I wouldn't be surprised if the current "Disney's" branded resorts get a change in the next few years to the current, non-possessive scheme.

I don't know which is actually correct, but the Poly was renamed well after Epic Mickey came out and DCA was renamed. If it hasn't happened by now, who knows?

That would be even worse than the branding nonsense.

Funny enough, the signs attached to the construction fence at Old Port Royale say only "Caribbean Beach Resort", without the D word. Inconsistent branding, panic!!!

That may be a bit of a misunderstanding, perhaps 10 cars in suspension per side (direction) between each segment. However, like a omni-mover it is continuously moving. That 10 number just doesn't smack true.Only 10 cars in the whole system!? Capacity is going to suck.
