Thrawn said:An airport would be a huge expenditure, in the billions of dollars, and completely not worth it. All Disney has to do is give out maps to the busses and its problem solved.
I suspect expanding the monorail to the airport would be more cost effective than justifying a new airport... :lookaroungoonsquads57 said:I don't know about anyone else, but i can hear the PA announcement now..."Welcome, one and all, to Walt Disney World International Airport...."
If I'm not mistaken, an airport was in Walt's original plans for Disney World anyway.
Stay tuned, I guess.
Very true, but buying 47 square miles of swamp land in central Florida back in the early 60's was a risky venture as well. I honestly don't think it would ever happen but who knows, if the bean counters say an airport and an airline is an economically viable business there would really be no reason not to do it.Thrawn said:An airport would be a huge expenditure, in the billions of dollars, and completely not worth it.

KevinPage said:Disney exists, people will complain and file lawsuits simply because they are the big fish in the pond. Nothing will change that.
Even though the suit has no merit, what does the livery association have to lose? ZERO. They either get what they want or keep dealing with their situation of no longer being able to glom off Disney.
Put that in your pipe and smoke it livery association. :drevil: :drevil:

And you forgot the whole Customs process. I suppose, given the current mood, Jafar and Captain Hook would be fitting choices to handle that. :lol:

PigletIsMyCat said:Er, customs. Well, I have never travelled internationally, so here goes....
Upon arrival at DisneyWorld International Airport, our international guests' luggage will be pulled from the aircraft and deposited in our state of the art Customs Checkpoint, where Jafar and Captain Hook will rifle through your belongings and ask you what you are declaring in a menacing way. Roz from Monsters Inc. will verify all your documents and stamp your passport with a special DisneyWorld stamp. Welcome to America! Our domestic customers will proceed directly to the main check-in area, where there is NO baggage claim, you check in immediately at the Resort Counter, where you are given your Key to the World and also given the option to board a clean, air conditioned bus to your resort (bypassing check in there) for a shower or nap, or checking your carry-ons here (to be transported directly to your resort room with your luggage) and proceeding directly to one of the parks on the new DisneyExpress Monorail, which connects DisneyWorld Internation Airport with all four parks.
Please, enjoy your magical stay!
Eh? Eh? Can you hear the muttering of the TSA in the background? Can you see the cast of 'The Emperor's New Groove' picking up trash?
Don't get me wrong, I like ENG too, but I was just trying to think of a cast that would have funny costumes... My next choice would have been the cast of 101 Dalmations... imagine, hundreds of people dressed in black and white like wittle puppy doggies picking up your trash.... family fun at it's best.MKCustodial said:Nice... But why couldn't the cast of Black Cauldron handle the trash? The Cauldron serves as a trashcan! ENG is cool...
Disney has already stated that DME was only going to be free during the 18 month pilot program and after that there would be a charge for the service. But like EMH if Disney finds a way for this free service to give them a return on their investment because more people are not renting cars and traveling off site to eat and shop then I suspect DME will remain free.Scooter said:Frankly, this whole "FREE MAGICAL EXPRESS" thing makes me nervous. :lookaroun
Since when does Disney do ANYTHING for free for very long?
I think it's all about the almighty $$$'s
When Disney drives all or most of the Limo and other bus services out of business, and the number of taxi's dwindle to a small number because of Disneys "Free" services, I think "FREE" Disney buses will be gone and Disney will charge a hefty fee to bus their guests to their respective resorts.
I was told as a child...if it's seems too good to be true..it probably is.
