That's some big heads up there.

Definitely to add AC to the cabins, right? .. right? ...... right?

Maybe cable tightening.

 

[MisterPenguin]

Time to inter the ashes.

It will be an upcharge if you want a cabin with AC.

Makes sense since the Skyliner is a major reason to book CBR or Pop.

Makes sense since the Skyliner is a major reason to book CBR or Pop.

Or a major reason to avoid them!

Which resorts served would have Friendship boats?

They like to joke that you’d take SkyLiner from BoardWalk or Y&BC to DHS.

LOL

Disney Genie will track your local temperature throughout the day and when it senses you’re warm, offer a refreshing ride on an AC gondola. Rumors that it spends the afternoon steering guests to wait in the hottest lines before it offers this upcharge are completely unfounded.

During the exact week I’m going with my friend to celebrate her bday and staying at CBR . Geez.

Good Grief it's barely had a years worth of service and they want to do a week's worth of maintenance on it?!

Must be something with the lifespan of the cabling.

Cables to periodically need to be tightened, which might require re-splicing.

Just a heads up...those of us who read the forum in dark mode can't read your comments.

I would think this first tightening would be the most for this rope. New rope running a bunch of hours a day will stretch out more than one that has been recut after run in.

Glad I saw this. We were going to be there at the Riviera that week. Have to move it now.

Same with the hogwarts express

 

[HauntedPirate]

Making sure I tell my wife to not book a trip during this time.

 

[jt04]

My take is this means they've decided to keep the system.
