How does the ranking of AKL change if the Sky Liner is added?

[sethschroeder]

nope, Skyliner would be lovely but still a solid #2 (just in my ranking of course!)


this would be an awesome stroll! not much further (1.2 km, >35 ft) than Grand Floridian to Magic Kingdom (0.97 km, >25 ft) ...

I see a 0.0% chance they add an entrance for an existing resort. AKV/AKL holds a good number of people but not enough to worry about putting in a whole new entrance.

Now if you were to say they were going to build a Asian Mountains inspired wilderness retreat resort that is DVC/Hotel which goes on the opposite side of the park and enters by Everest then maybe you might have me thinking.

I'd like a path to AK. It would be so nice to be able to just walk there from Jambo.

Put a path in at AKL with some lighting and some fencing- this is one of the things that doesn’t need constant high levels of maintenance and would really lift the resort. Imagine strolling back from the park on an evening after a meal.

So much this! We want a walking path to AKL, but what we really want is more outdoor areas to walk around, for my husband to run in the morning, and just be outside. There isn't even a nice path between Jambo and Kidani! For a resort designed around the outdoors, it is sadly lacking in a lot of outdoor recreation. (And I'm saying this as someone who loves AKL and owns there).

I wouldn’t bet on any transportation/construction updates like adding more skyliners for at least 5-7 years given the money they’re going to have to make up for this year and most of next year.

Fully agree

building a path from AKV to AK part would make the most sense.

It would be quite long but if you come to disney thinking you won't be walking everywhere, you be mistaken! I'd LOVE a walkway!

The bus ride is ridiculously short so why couldn't they have a path along that route?

Lol!!! Would work for me, but most here complain about the walk from Kidani to Jambo!!

 

[sethschroeder]

What is weird is why doesn't Kidani and Jambo connect with a bridge on at least the main floor. If they wanted to keep the loading dock area hidden just don't have windows and instead do digital signage.

I understand they were built at different times but just weird since they are so close.

IF a Skyliner stop is added to AKL, does that drastically change it's rating or just give it a little nudge?

I think it would move it up for some but probably enough to make a big difference overall. I can't see it happening though. IMO they could have done something up front even just to get from one part of the resort to another and from Kidani to/from Jambo.

This!! I would absolutely Love a walking path from the lodge to the park! Walking/jogging path is the one thing the resort is missing. There is nowhere to walk and I much prefer walking outside to a treadmill!

I thought this was in the works or at least in discussion a few years ago???

It's a mile. We walk that far at the BWV just to get to our room from the lobby most of the time.

Here and other sites but not officially from what I understand.
