I’m kind of surprised how low to the ground the gondola towers are. I thought they’d be taller.

I always thought they would keep them as low as feasable. They have to be above any vehicles and such, but I guess I always assumed they would put the wires about 30 feet above the ground to keep it mostly below the treeline.

What's going to be really weird is the few months before they open when everything is in place but no-one is riding yet, seeing all those cars moving around empty.
 

Last day at WDW and spending most of it in my favorite park, Animal Kingdom. Some parts of it I can’t believe are inside a theme park.
Have fun! I hope you're getting the same beautiful weather we're having here today.
 
Not overheard at the parks, but last summer DH had a coworker who was so excited (and determined) to go to Pandora on her trip to Universal.... Hollywood.

One of my coworkers started to book a trip to Disney to see Star Wars Land. Thankfully they talked to me because they just saw the concept art and assumed it was opened already.
 
OK - It's been said before - but why the heck would you pay $150 for a ride to the airport. I just looked for laughs and I can book a limo with Mears for $105 to the airport from AKL. Is this a "I have so much money I can do stupid things" service?
People apparently are using it. The biggest reason I think people are is the “trust” in Disney.

I agree it's a trust thing and I think it's also seen as a convenience thing. No need to venture out to someone else and arrange things. If you're on Disney property you may see it as just as easy to let Disney (especially if you've used their monorails, their buses, their ferry, their boats on your trip) handle you. You may or may not even look for other ways to get to the airport if you'd rather just let Disney handle it so you may not even know that you get get alternative transportation for a lot lower.

*Would I do it? Nope, we'd have a rental car and we look at things from a money standpoint most times.
 
This is what I'd like to research for next year....is there a site or sites I can check out that lists large school or sports groups or events scheduled for wdw trips? I know this is a favorite destination for HS bands, team competition events etc but how can I find out when?

https://www.disneyyouth.com/programs/performing-arts/

This has everything they run for performing arts. If you click on individual events, some of them run year round, others show specific dates.
