News New Gondola Transportation - Disney Skyliner -

[Andrew C]

There is at least one pole directly in front of rooms at CBR. Tim Tracker posted a pic of one...I believe it was room 5255. If the pole is 30 feet from the room, I'd be really surprised.

From room front door...as you mentioned

this is 30 feet from the build? which way are the gondolas running in this picture (left to right or out over the water and towards my computer)?

We have no real means of telling how far the pole is from the front of the room...my experience in installing exterior pole signage tells me that it's very close, but I wouldn't even hazard trying to make any kind of accurate guess.

Roughly, parallel to the shoreline. That's Riviera behind the pole; the station is to the left of the main building.

This pole is the closest of the 4 and is about 15 feet from the roof line of the building. The other three are 50+ feet from the buildings they are near.

That's closer than I thought, lol. When I first saw Tim Tracker's pic, I thought about 20'.

Could be from the door. I just measured to the roof line using online measuring tools as I'm not sure how wide the overhang is.

Wonder if they will have a room category for this. I mean they do for every thing else.

Ohhh...good point. And there is quite a bit of overhang, if I recall from our last stay, about the width of a walkway if memory serves.

Gondola view? Priced $10 above standard view?

It will be an up-charge for being close to the gondola transportation.

Actually, it's Meet and Greet view room.

This is Poley, the gondola support pole. He'll be the new mascot of Epcot Illuminations 2021 when he rises from the middle of the World Showcase Lagoon.

OUCH.

 

[jt04]

OUCH.

These rooms will stay booked because they will be priced best. IMO.

 

[flynnibus]

OUCH.

Meh... there are plenty of areas where walkways face obstructions... like the buildings themselves.

It's an eyesore yes.. but no one is losing their "great views"

 

[MisterPenguin]

Thanks for the photo. I might be incorrect. Remind me tho when this opens...I could swear there was going to be a coffee/food cart. Ha! Time will tell.

Well... there was a time they were selling pizza by the Pop buses...

No privacy at CBB.

A nice pastel pole would have been great. I'm thinking a light pastel blue. Could a made it blend into the sky. Maybe they have some extra paint from the new Guardians ride building.


Or go away green.

Just so crazy the did the two by epcot but ignored this one.
