Separate question: how often do we think someone will try to climb these?

Hmm. Looks pretty smooth, and unless you have elastic arms and legs, I don't think you can shimmy on up it.

 

[Mackenzie Click-Mickelson]

Is that the only one? Are there more directly in people's views? If that's it, I don't think it's a big deal.

Others may (will) see it differently.

Well I mean that's the only photos WDWNT took and posted in the article but given this concept art there are probably several more as it goes straight over the resort. Will they be as close to guest buildings as the photos they took I've got no idea.

See I can't help myself. I look at that picture and I think that looks awesome!!!

If the added pillars are like the photo posted previously, in my opinion it's not too bad as it's not in someone's direct view.

Well there's a target audience for everything at WDW so I guess you're the target audience for the look , me not so much .

For a company they used to be all about presentation the Skyliner has changed that a bit. Is it right outside a window? No but it’s still not great.

I think from the sky while you're in the gondola it will be quite the view for sure. From the ground, not so much and that goes for other people's concerns about sightlines when you're inside the parks and it's the ground view that I was talking about.

Even from the top you’re going to see a lot of tops of buildings and what not. Not everything at Disney is kept up to on stage standards when they aren’t in guest view.

 

[Farro]

It's all how you look at it - in my eyes the gondolas add a little "something", a nostalgic feeling of times gone by. Seeing the mechanics isn't a distraction to me and I'm sure they will be downplayed as much as possible.

I will happily stand alone in my corner.

Honestly, who actually sits and stares out a hotel room window? I mean, I get why some people might want to sit on a balcony (although that's not a pleasant experience in Florida from March to November.) But, are there actually people who pull up a chair, plant themselves at the window, and watch people walk by the exterior corridors at Disney's Value and Moderate Resorts?

 

[MommaBerd]

As I said before, it is good to know that this will not be a bother to some guests, and for those who ARE bothered by it there are other places to stay that don’t have gondola poles 10 steps from the room. Though @Farro, I will give you that the rooftop views at BC are almost as bad...but at least the roof tops don’t affect the overall look and feel of the resort.

Yeah a view in a deluxe is worth something in a moderate or value I think for the most part the curtains are drawn. Who really wants people walking by your room looking into your room. The one exception is AoA since they have inside hallway

We got back from CBR a few weeks ago. At the time there was at least 3 towers going up, one in Jamaica, one between Aruba and Jamaica, and another further down Aruba before you got to Riviera. We stayed in Trinidad North away from all the towers. I couldn't imagine staying close to those towers with gondolas constantly going by.

I'm not so much worried about the pole view as I am about noise. Won't the gondolas make at least some sort of noise? Now that, to me, would be annoying.

I was just about to type the same question! I haven't been following the gondola thing too much but reading these last few posts it made me wonder if it would be like a chair lift for skiing, which makes some noise if you're close to it.

ETA: or like a gondola when you're skiing - d'oh

Yep agreed. The "ride" is what will be a great view IMO. Can't wait for this.

The monorail shows a lot of roof tops and back stage (The MK Resort loop and going through EPCOT) and nobody seems to care.

But all of a sudden its a big deal now?

Not really - all the mechanics are at the stations so they should be pretty quiet

Super peaceful ride at Keystone anyway.

 

[TheFloatingBear]

The ones I've been on around here aren't all that quiet, but maybe just older? These can't be too bad if they're traveling that close to the resort rooms...

Gondolas and chairlifts really are pretty quiet at the towers, unless they aren't maintained, you shouldn't hear a thing inside a room even if it's right outside the window. The stations are quite loud though.
