It's kind of cool how you have to take the monorail and ferry just to get from the parking lot to the gate but at the same time it's so tiring, expecially at 12:30 at night after a long day in the parks. Why do they make it so hard?

Yea, I would agree that the lagoon should have not been filled in at all and would have been better as a parking lot like in the old Disneyland.

I didn't know it was hard
...I like riding the monorail or ferry trying to get one last view of the caste until the next trip! but the trams is where I get annoyed because my family is annoyed because they want to leave and I don't

Yeah lol, enterings fine, it's leaving and just wanting to get to the car... Thats the hard part lol. Epcots parking lot is great, most of the time I don't even need a tram.

Exactly. The trip across or around the lagoon is simply a build-up to the "grand reveal".
AHHHH-HA-HA-HA!

I have a whole series of pictures from the ferry to the MK from each of my trips. Why do I need 30 pictures, getting closer and closer and closer. I don't know. It's an involuntary reaction!

I think the "grand reveal" was appropriate back then in the 70's but now it sure isn't. I mean there's buses that stop there now unlike before it's just the monorail and boats.
Anyway, I still think it would be better for then to do a "reverse Universal" and make the lagoon a parking lot.
As a matter of fact most people's "grand reveal" nowadays would be hearing the fanfare music that they play on the bus when it turns towards the bus unloading area! Does anyone have the music so I can make it a ring tone?

I am sure that people staying in the Polynesian, Contemporary and Grand Floridian would absolutely adore the lagoon being turned into a parking lot.
Another benefit of being an onsite guest - easier access to the MK.

When did buses first stop at MK? Didn't they use to stop at TTC and people still had to board the monorail or boat, thus maintaining the "grand reveal"?

Because they didn't want to duplicate Disneyland's Mistake! They want you to feel like you Escaped from the Real world To A "Magic Kingdom"

Tbe lagoon is what makes it unique. Is it a pain to leave? Yes (for people using the parking lot). If you don't like it leave early .
The hotels around the lagoon woulf loose so much ambience without the lagoon, i don't see disney doing away with it.
For some reason I've always wanted to tale the ferry when we were going from epcot to MK but the wife never wants to. What can i say, i like boats.

People want to turn something that brings mystique and anticipation into a parking lot? Man, I'm glad neither of you guys are building a theme park.

Its geographical isolation is one of the things that makes the Magic Kingdom... magical. You feel separated from the real world because you are separated from it.
I think it's a situation where it behooves one to sit back, relax and enjoy the journey.

LOL - wouldn't that turn all of the monorail resort theme park views into parking lot views?
