I`m of the opinion a WEDWay system from each destination, linked to central monorail terminals would work - Walt though so in his original EPCOT Center
1 They are low maintainence (few moving parts)
2 40% of the track magnets can go down and still run at normal capacity
3 they can travel quickly and silently
4 There can be ALOT of trains - always one at the station waiting. Constantly.
5 No holding up the flow of traffic as you board the waiting car - one of the breakthroughs of the revolving station platform and speed alteration of cars entering and leaving the staion. Plus - its dosn`t have to be a circular platform - could be a speed ramp.
6 Proven in the field. WDWs have been running for nearly 29 years, and the first commercial one was at Houston Airport (if I recall) in 1980.
7 Dosn`t have to have a covered track - the EPOCT Center cars ran on an open track, the cars themselves were enclosed.
8 Originally, part of WWD phase 2 was to have a WEDWay from the Contemporary to the Village - so long distances have already been thought about.
I`m not sure, however, what gradient they can handle - Tomorrowlands track seems roughly level. Disneylands did change height, but this ran on a totally different propulsion system.
Once you arrive at your monorail terminal you disembark the WEDWay and wait a short length of time for your monorail (mark 7? Or are we on 8 now - whats TDL got?) No express line - a double track with each direction stopping at every stop. However, there would only be a few stops (I guess the parks and Downtown Disney) since the WEDWAY gathers people from the resorts. This could also lend itself to solar power - an array running beside the WEDWAY track?? The ultimate clean transportation Walt wanted?
Lets say we have a Monorail Terminal at MGM and a second one at Epcot. This line just loops North - South from these 2 parks, and possibly down to Wide World of Sports. A line from Downtown Disney runs east to AK, with stops listed below (either loop or terminating at DtD and AK)
The DtD Terminal is centrally placed, or at one end (Westside?) with WEDWAY feeding to it from the Marketplace, and possibly a station in the middle of the Plaza hotels.
Typhoon Lagoon would have a Monorail stop, shared with Old Key West. Port Orleans would either share this, or WEDWAY over to the Epcot terminal.
Blizzard Beach, Coronado Springs, and possibly the Allstars would share a Monorail Terminal. AK Lodge would have a WEDWAY, like the other resorts, to the nearest Monorail Terminal - AK in this case.
Caribbean Beach and Pop Century would WEDWAY (possible a shared one - like the original EPCOT idea of stations mid line) to the MGM Terminal. And a WEDWAY loop round crescent lake could link the other Epcot resorts with the Epcot Terminal.
Wilderness Lodge could WEDWay to either the Contemporary or the T&TC, maybe Fort Wilderness would still need an internal bus network to get to its WEDWay station (same line a the Lodge).
With enough capacity (both in length of monorail and ammount of monorails and WEDWay cars) this could shift a HUGE ammount of people around - quicker than the busses perhaps(no stoppig at numerous resort stations - maybe resorts like CBR would need an internal bus loop to the Station at Centretown - no red lights, no conflict with tourist traffic etc.
Lets remember Walts original plan for WDW was no private vehicles - apart from EPCOT Residents who would have WEDWay as well - these would be left in the main parking area (somewhere around where MGM is today) and Monorail / WEDWay would do the rest.
I think this calls for a map - will put it in me album when its done...
As I said, just my humble opinion.
