I guess you just envision the buses growing wings and getting past all of this increased traffic. You and others keep mentioning all of the delays with the possibility of transfers with the monorail (despite the fact that some system could be worked on or worked out), yet you always seem to neglect all of the delays and stops, and additional stops that the buses make as they pick up from several stops or several resorts as well, as they stop at all of the stop signs to and from the resort to and from the theme park, etc. Meanwhile the monorail bypasses all of these traffic lights, stop signs, and additional motor vehicle traffic. But I guess that you were too busy using your brains while riding your ferrari to notice all of these things that a normal person could see! 
Even with all the traffic, taking a bus is still faster than any conceived monorail idea. Even with stoplights, stopsigns, too many cars, and occasional accidents, it doesnt' take more than 20 minutes to get between just about any two points in WDW.
But you ARE correct in that these delays are why a new, better system is desired. No one here is arguing that buses are the best long term solution. No one here is arguing that they LOVE the buses. However, the buses are the best availible solution at the moment.
The right transportation solution in the long term
will ideally miss the stoplights, stopsigns, and general congestion of car traffic.
Intuitively, some sort of WEDway variant seems like a neat and possibly feasible idea. The child/disability access issue could have numerous creative solutions, some of which have already been discussed. I have no doubt that a good solution to the problem exists.
The key is the fixed track problem. Either someone needs some sort of creative (and not unsightly) solution to laying many parallel tracks, or to come up with a wheeled version that can run on special roads or something to that effect.
If a WEDway-type system can work, I think it's a wonderful idea. It has lots of room for innovation, has the possibility of being magical, AND will have been born from the head of Walt Himself. It's been a while since I read the PRT stuff, but perhaps smallish PRTs that combine PRT and WEDway might be a good starting point?
Remember, the monorail and the rest of Walt's ideas were about dreaming about the future, not technologies from the past.
