As has been stated, time and time again, it'd be nice to expand the monorail if it didn't mean jacking up ticket/resort prices or cutting costs on other amenities. I wouldn't want to see advertising on the monorail cars to pay for it either. The whole idea of the monorail is to immerse yourself in the World, and it's hard to do with cereal and candy and new car ads staring at you. I don't particularly like them on the buses either, even if they're adveritising Disney-related products, ABC, ESPN, etc.
What I'd like to see is WDW try to develop a more attractive bus so people would stop griping about them. I don't know if double-deckers would be feasible, but that'd be cool. More comfortable seats would be nice. Mini-buses that can be reserved (for a fee) for larger parties so they don't overcrowd a bus with other strangers (and better still, perhaps for everyone, handicap-accessible vans for free for parties with someone who needs special assistance, so the jerks won't gripe that the guy in the wheelchair is taking too long, and he's got so many people with him, there won't be enough seats for anybody else). Video or music playing on the buses to make them more immersive.
Heck, Disney is already conquering Mears with the DME shuttle serrvice, why not tick off cab companies as well? Bring in really beautiful, London-style cabs that can be hired to bring people anywhere in WDW only. Make sure they're as evenly distributed amongst the resorts as possible. On those days where you just can't wait to get to the parks, you'd pay for that perk, and it's not only nice but, depending on the theming of the cab, an intimate World moment.
