I doubt a tried and proven gondola system will have the pains that RoL had.Is that a true March to October 2019 or is like a "Rivers of Light" March to October 2019??
Thank for the information, Just trying to sell myself on why I would use the gondola over a bus, when I consider that AOA/ POP/ CBR is to be one shortest trip to DHS/ EPCOT on Disney property (even faster if they cut thru the woods to the new parking lots in the future).
We have heard that bus won't be an option once the gondolas are running.

Disney is belts and suspenders on transpo whenever possible. I cannot believe there won't at least be limited bus service. At least for people afraid of heights.
Just repeating what sources have said. Part of the value of the gondolas to Disney is the savings on buses. Even limited bus transportation would still have to run quite a bit to be useful.

There are at least 18 Disney owned hotels. Not to mention that number explodes when you include villas and associated hotels. Plus even for many people (like myself) with a fear of heights, modern gondolas like the Disney Skyliner are very smooth and feel far more secure than most would imagine. Not to mention it has been proven time and time again to be an effective and safe mode of transportation.

Not arguing any of those points. But we can assume, like the monorail and boats, it's going to shut down in bad weather.
They would still need buses to MK at AOA/POP/CBR and other points in WDW.
People would have to use a park hopper to go thru Epcot to get thru to the monorail to go MK.

Obviously buses would continue to run to magic kingdom and other destinations not serviced by the gondola. It's bus service to Epcot and DHS that would be eliminated.

Yep - and DAK will be the hardest. They will somehow make you go to Blizzard Beach first to catch a transfer bus to DAK.

You can use the MAGICal Minnie Vans to get to Epcot/DHS should you not want to ride in the gondolas!

If you are redeeming an AP certificate for the actual ticket, you can only do that at the park.
People seem to be forgetting a key fact here: Disney is a company worth billions of dollars, they are paying people smarter than any of us here to design this. No engineer for a corporation that big is going to finish designing the system, have it start construction, and then go "oh sh*t, I forgot that Florida is hot"
That would be like a major modern calm boat ride at Disney not being Wheelchair accessible

If this new gondola system is popular they should build a line from the west side of Fantasyland to the east side of Tomorrowland.

It was a poor idea the first time for a castle park. Even Walt made mistakes.
I am pretty sure that was a joke.
