Is it just me or does this give anyone else a Pandora vibe? Perhaps the new transportation, whatever you want to call it, will connect more than one resort to the parks.

As far as I'm aware AK and CSR are not currently getting Gondolas.

I didn't see any permits either, but the Gondola system seem to be a great match for AK.

I'd love to see some other transportation between AK and AKL.

The turning station in the Boardwalk parking lot is on a pretty good line to add the CSR if they decide to.

The entrance was used by a lot of CP's coming to the parks on Transtar busses - they'd be dropped off in front of costuming and just walk over. Not exclusively, but with costuming moving in the future, there really wasn't a need for the entrance.

Well - I have to say if you are going to a water park just to swim, you are doing it wrong anyways - better off staying at the resort pools.

Don't get me wrong, I've done water parks before. I just don't enjoy them as much as some people. I'm sure it's just me being weird. I'm not really comfortable in a bathing suit to begin with, so I'm sure that's a huge part of it. One of these days I'm sure I'll go, just to say I've done it.

at this time with my vacation style it's not worth it to us to swap out a park day

That's it for me too. I'd just rather spend a day in the park then to go to a water park. Now if River Country was still open...I just might lol.

We always went in this way. Never a line for security.

I always try to go in that way but the last time we were turned away and told to go to the main entrance with the humongous lines. I was pissed.

This was the only way I would enter DHS. I've never had an issue of being turned away.
It was a shorter walk and had no security wait. Definitely a pain that they've closed it

I've used this entrance many times. I didn't realize it was a secret.

I guess it's the same as EPCOT. People getting off the monorail don't seem to know there's a 2nd entrance on the side opposite the monorail ramp.

 

[Reddog1134]

By the way, the little white and blue areas above Movieland Memorobilia is the 2nd entrance area.
