Thanks! Not sure if there will be 2 different POTC wraps or if this is the other side of the one you posted, but here’s a different look.

That is the opposite side. 3 sides have wraps and each is different.

I think & hope that from the loading platform it should be reasonably difficult to tell which character design you're entering until you're in the cabin itself.

Don't want kids running to the preferred cabin - might have a problem with two kids headed to different ones.

They look great..I just hope we don't see those certain families having to wait off to the side just because their favorite character was taken and have to wait for the next one to rotate back just because little X wanted to ride the Elsa Gondola into the station since someone took it before them....

As the mom of two boys who are VERY particular about pretty much EVERYTHING...I guarantee you this will happen. I'm warning my sons ahead of time that there will be ZERO waiting for specific characters.

My kids would already know... “you get what you get, and you don’t throw a fit!”

Why would I take a bus from DHS to Epcot when I can take a gondola? I can ride a bus around my city anytime but I don't have the opportunity to ride a gondola. Maybe I'm just a transportation nerd but I would take a longer route on a more interesting travel method than a shorter one on a boring one.

So would I!!!!! We park at TTC for Epcot and we take the Epcot Resort Friendship boats for our Epcot Break!


As for what happened Today, saw the DPB story and sounds like only the DHS line is uncovered?

The DPB said it itself, this is a major milestone for the Skyliner! Seeing Rob's Joy and seeing all the gondolas uncovered at the DHS Station this morning was great! Besides the normal sites(here, Corless, Blog Mickey)Rob has been following the Skyliner closer than anyone. Disney creates life moments all the time. I remember the first time I saw CADCT online, the first day of FOF, HEA. A special moment I will always remember is on the train station for my second CADCT on what was planned to be our last MK Day. for our 2013 trip. My mother wasn't looking forward to EE the next day(she rode it before with no problems, just not crazy about it.) Turns out that my parents wanted to trade AK For a trip back to MK for a THIRD DAY!(my favorite park and first time we've done that on any of our trips.)So a third day of DAWM, CADCT peoplemover, etc. Needless to say my mouth dropped, jumped at the chance and was so happy!

Granted that may be a Parents moment a little more than a Disney moment but Disney's certainly a part of that!

I am convinced they decided to reveal today because of me lol (kidding but the timing is sus) I did lots of investigative photography yesterday around several resorts and DHS taking pics and was stopped a few times matter of fact. I had my DSLR with zoom lens and was trying to figure out the character designs, even managed to get a pic of something clearly written in German and from Doppelmayr. Also got a super up close clear visual of what the tags on the wraps say (thinking about making that into a sticker or something and selling it) take a look and have fun. part 1 of photos

The cars will be pretty close together so it will be hard to see the end graphics, but you may be able to see the side graphics of the cars as they unload.

I just understand why you decided to question and judge others for stating something factual and then pretend like it never happened.

Not at all what I did. I merely said that I had doubts that the cover came off accidentally. I would think that my theory was backed up by the fact that they are all uncovered now. However, whether intentional or unintentional is not relevant anymore. I cannot be responsible for anyone's inability to understand sarcasm or doubt and twist it into something to make me seem evil. I have NOT contradicted my original statement that started all this crap. It might have been misunderstood, but, what I was trying to say I have been saying in my responses.

Here's a picture from Mickey Views twitter account just after the storm blew through showing the wrap hanging by a thread.View attachment 370994

OK, now that there is evidence that it was taken off by the storm, I stand corrected. I just have a habit of not believing everything that I read. Thank for the picture it speaks a thousand words.

You attacked others for stating the removal was accidental. And when presented with facts that it was in fact accidental you acted as though nobody had questioned it being accidental in the first place. There is photo evidence of the cover hanging from the gondola after the storm and more photo evidence of them closing a roadway under the gondola to remove the remnants.

I find it interesting that the pack date on many of those gondolas were 10 months ago.

 

[Brian Swan]

Yes he is.

Not in this picture, but there are lots of pictures on DFB, and Dopey is definitely on the cab.

We have had photos of the labels since January.

I'm wondering if the 1 wrap coming off is what resulted in the rest being uncovered. From a risk point of view if 1 came off more could in another storm. IF Disney would have left them on and it happened again resulting in anyone having even a small scratch there would end up being a lawyer waiting to help.
