Not really, the Contemporary almost sits inside the MK, their viewpoint is that they are already there. There is no anticipatory section of any Contemporary stay. That is the one and only WDW resort that actually is in the total immersion bubble. It made no sense to not have a sidewalk there. I believe initially the resort train ran to MK in a counter clockwise direction because of the closeness of MK to that resort. The Poly was about equal either way.
No one ever said that there weren't people that could or would walk the mile there and/or back. But the numbers would not warrant the expense of building a path that entire way or the cost of security to protect it. The biggest physical cost was going to be the required bridge over the canal when multiple transportation options exist already. Maybe those with that much energy can run in place while riding the Monorail or the Ferry's.
MK was designed for 10 million guests...getting more than double that and using a fleet of monorails past their expiration has really made MK a nightmare to get to and to leave. I do not find the trip on the monorail, bus, or ferry ‘magical’ by any means anymore.
Because Tokyo and Paris didn’t have the room.
DisneylandParis does have a train that runs from Paris that has a stop right in front of DLP though. I thought that was pretty cool. Now that's a grand entrance!
It does. I think though the grandest entrance in Paris is via their “World Drive” - Avenue Paul Seramy is 2.5 miles long, dead straight, and if you could physically drive in a straight line past the gates at the end you would end up in the hub.
Let’s just say Paris had a head start on terror attack prevention

MK cannot handle 10 million guest not even close. That's a fact, not sure where you got your info but I get mine from management.
TTC was most certainly his idea. That's how it is taught at Disney University. However I do agree with your remark about critters of the night. Very good point!
TTC as we know it was not designed or planned until long after Walt was gone. The idea of parking and being transported to the park was indeed Walt's plan, but not for the purpose of a grand reveal. It was planned that way so guests visiting the theme park would be forced to see EPCOT. Without EPCOT having been built and with the TTC being built so close to the park it never could have and never did live up to the purpose Walt had intended. Also many things taught at Disney University are complete fiction just designed to make people feel good about WDW and portray a positive attitude toward WDW.
Yep and about twice that sounds almost as overcrowded as MK is sometimes so these numbers while probably wrong are at least pointing in the correct direction. But I think we can safely say MK is at or above ten million.
As beautiful as it is, that road needs some repaving.
I was staying in Paris and rode the train to Disneyland. Didn't have a car, but, wouldn't have used it anyway. I love trains. It was a very comfortable trip to DLP, but, the trip back to Paris was a lot more crowded. You probably know that the commuter type trains have two levels with stairs leading up to the second. When full, many people stand on the stairs. I was standing at the bottom of the stairs and when the train started moving, after a stop, a lady lost her balance and fell from the stairs. I caught her with my right arm and stopped her for smashing into the floor. I manage to do something to my right shoulder that 3 years later is still a problem and I didn't get as much as a Merci from the lady. It was still a fun trip though. I guess that part of the fun of riding up to the entrance in a train, for me, was mostly due to the train ride itself.
Using that calculation yes it would absolutely work but he didn't specify " a year" or "each day" . If you go by each day that's not a heavy crowd and is indeed do able. 27,000 that is. If you read his post nothing eludes to per year. So I had to assume he meant per day which is why I said " no way"
Parks are designed to an annual attendance and the 10 million visitors design of the Magic Kingdom is rather well known.
What do you have to prove what you say is fact? And what proof do you have that what is taught at DU is fictional? Also how do you even know what is taught at DU?
