It’s good news for lines.
Exactly. And as in the bus system. It’s meant to transport people efficiently. Someone wanting to ride alone or with own family due to covid…. Well that ship sailed almost a year ago. So this is good news. Load them up. The busses are packed as tight as you can. There is no reason the bench’s on the skyliner isn’t full also. Well. Unless there is no line. Then none of this is an issue.
It’s about as reasonable as requesting a private half car on the monorail in terms of capacity.
I would be reticent to put single older adults and single adolescents on the same gondola, but 2 families of 4 should suck it up or use a private motor vehicle, either for hire, rented, or owned. That infrastructure predates the Skyliner

I don't even see this as a change? I was just there in June during some crowded weeks, and every time there was any kind of line we were always sharing gondola's with other people and it was fine. My party size varied from 4-6, and the only times we rode alone were when there weren't really any lines.
While all of WDW’s transit has some sort of attraction - like novelty and bespokeness, at rush times they are critical pieces of resort infrastructure. I know sometimes the company forgets that themselves, but moving large masses of people safely and expeditiously is the name of the game be it on monrail, in the water, above the treeline, or inside the accordian of the bus back to AllStar Sports.
Exactly. It’s like saying. I want half the bus to myself. Lol.
I imagine the average family of four or five with one in the stroller included in that will still be getting a Gondola to themselves. The potential stopping will hurt load times more than trying to squeeze another follower with the family and strollers(s)
It is likely going to be operations discretion like pretty much everything else.

Personally I like when there wasn't anyone else just because sitting that close facing each other gets a bit awkward when you're tired and sweaty lol.

It sounds like the change is that they will no longer honor requests for a party to have their own cabin if there is a line. Before they were willing/allowed to accommodate requests.

I liked that that gondolas were also a quick escape from others. I don't know that I'll use them if they're squishing other people in there. UGHHHHH! :-(

AGREED! With the crowd levels at the parks being way beyond (which still is better than DL's wall of people), having a few minutes to escape is great. NOTE ALSO that we NEVER had other stuffed in our skyline that used to be at MK!

So we’re not allowed to ever mention the leading actor of Mary Poppins? Got it.
The software will edit both the proper name of a specific person, and the insult. No one will get a warning for talking about the leading actor of Mary Poppins. But they will if using it to as a profanity. But you already knew that.

You could follow public speaking advice. When you feel uncomfortable, just imagine your audience naked.

When you're the leader, you don't have to follow.
And yet some people have figured a way to type Bert’s IRL name. (I’m not one of them.)

Or just bury your face in a phone like most do. Earbuds help too
