Disney SeaWorld? Maybe!

Your choices are:

1) Bus / Shuttle

I don't see any others.

The most practical solution would be some form of light rail system. A bus is simply the cheapest mode of transportation which can be put into place here, which is why we have buses at most existing parks and resorts, instead of a far more practical, efficient and effective monorail network. It's all about cost.

I think we stand a better chance of seeing Horizons reopened than Disney acquiring Sea World, though.

There's no way at this time that Disney is going to buy Sea World. Even though I think it's more realistic than a 5th gate, buying a park that is way too similar to the AK is just a bad idea at this time in this economic slump. But, if they did buy Sea World, I look for the Magical Express buses to transport between WDW and Sea World and the overall cost of a stay at WDW to go up up up.

Light rail, while having low operating costs would be prohibitively expensive to construct due to right of way acquisitions, breeze requirements and slow conditions. The only way it will ever happen is if the idea of an Airport to Disney link is revived, then routing it to Seaworld wouldn't be such a big project.

Buses, while more expensive to operate offer extreme flexibility and require a very low capital investment to implement.
