    News Improvements coming to the entrances of all four Walt Disney World theme parks

    And if you have someone "trapped behind security", they're less likely to see the ticket prices and run away.

    News Swan and Dolphin Tower Expansion - The Walt Disney World Swan Reserve

    Most of the first floor was poured yesterday. These hotels seem to go vertical pretty quickly once they start pouring the floors.

    Disney Skyliner shutdown and evacuation - October 6 2019

    This thread is growing faster than the original gondola thread. There's no way I'm keeping up with this one... btw - They totally need a fireman's pole to attach to the gondola's so people can just slide down to get out.

    News New Gondola Transportation - Disney Skyliner -

    The astro-turf is a bad call. They missed a great opportunity to "plus" the Skyliner with some cool landscaping or grass art.

    Watch the incoming cars, and if yours is wrapped, let a party go in front of you. Seems easy enough to line this up a few cars in advance without much help from a CM.

    Seemed taller than it needed to be in that section though... For evacs, it would seem that closer to the ground would be better.

    News New Gondola Transportation - Disney Skyliner -

    @Lift Blog I think I've read this entire thread, and I don't recall this being brought up before. Are there specific height specs (beyond the obvious height for street crossings etc.) for the tow line, or are they simply aesthetics driven? For instance, on the way to DHS, there's a place...

    2BR Waitlist for Columbus Day Weekend

    Looks like I might be the only yes vote... Not surprising actually. I just couldn't vote against myself. :) I've had DVC since 2009, and this is the first time I've had to waitlist. I'm usually a better planner, but this year I've been slacking.

    Rumor Light Rail / Tram Link for Disney Springs to TTC?

    I thought I read light rail in the article, but High Speed Rail is the terminology they used. http://www.fox13news.com/news/florida-news/construction-starts-on-high-speed-train-route-from-orlando-to-south-florida .

    News New Gondola Transportation - Disney Skyliner -

    I'm impressed with the number of different themed cabins there are. I figured there would be a half dozen or so, repeated over and over again. This almost looks like Disney had an in-house competition to design the coolest gondola cabin, and they printed all the entries.

    Could someone please annotate where the gondola pole is? They have camouflaged it so well that I can't find it. Maybe a @bioreconstruct style big yellow arrow would help.

    Did anyone else find it ironic that they mentioned the great view, right before showing a bunch of cabins still covered with the white protective coverings?

    Rumor Higher Speed Rail from MCO to Disney World

    All reports are that Brightline / Virgin Trains is still bleeding money, and their solvency will only last another year or so. When a company backs off an IPO, it's almost always because the market will not sustain their asking price. Don't get me wrong, I like the idea of HSR. If there's a...

    Rumor Higher Speed Rail from MCO to Disney World

    And even when invited, nobody has created a competing chart that significantly reduces time or saves money. For $22 a person, I could hire a private Cadillac to pick up, and drop off my family of 5 door to door in about 30 minutes. At $35, we could hire a limo.

    News New Gondola Transportation - Disney Skyliner -

    The solution is as simple as it needs to be. There are 3-4 cabins in queue all the time on the outer loop. That gives passengers 3-4 "cycles" in the outer loop to load and/or unload, which will be plenty for any need. You load in the next cabin to launch, so whenever the passengers are ready...
