First of all…..I know not everyone has been to WDW, but from what I see, there’s more people here that have than haven’t. If you haven’t been to WDW, please select the option “I’ve never been to WDW” in the poll.
I saw the below picture on Facebook and I thought it was a pretty interesting picture so I saved it. Then I decided to make a poll from it.
WDW has an amazing and efficient transportation system. There’s the monorail that takes us to the different resorts around the Seven Seas Lagoon, the MK, the TTA and to EPCOT. There’s the Ferry that takes us from the TTA to the MK. There’s the watercraft that takes us to & from DS from different resorts, and to & from EPCOT, HS and the MK from different resorts. There’s the Skyliner that takes us to & from EPCOT or HS from different resorts. Then there’s the buses that take us to & from everywhere in the Disney bubble. So much free transportation for everyone to enjoy, even those not staying inside the Disney bubble. When people start commenting to me about how expensive WDW is, they forget about so many things, like this transportation that is taken for granted. Disney could charge everyone who rides each mode of transportation, especially those that aren’t staying on property, but they don’t. This transportation isn’t free for WDW. Someone has to pay those that operate/drive the transportation, maintain each of them, fix them when they stop running, keep the roads smooth (I rarely see potholes there) and etc. Do I wish WDW wasn’t so expensive? Of course, but when I start thinking about everything that costs them money, that I take for granted, I understand why. So with all that…..let’s talk about the WDW transportation that we have used and enjoyed.
Have you been to WDW?
If yes……Which complimentary WDW transportation have you used & enjoyed?
(multiple choice)
For Me……I’ve been going to WDW since 1976, when I was 5 years old, and I’ve been many times since then. I’ve used every mode of transportation except the watercraft. One day we need to ride it, just so we can say we rode on it. Truth be told, we drive to many places. If we stay at a resort that’s not on SSL, then we drive to the TTA. Regardless where we stay, we always drive to HS. On EPCOT day we always drive to HS and take the Skyliner to EPCOT so we can rope drop from the international gateway. We always drive to AK and DS. We are not a lover of taking the buses. It’s nothing against the buses, we’ve had no bad experience with the buses, I just don’t want to wait for them, sit with hot sweaty people (I’m one of those people), have all the stops before mine and etc. I just want to get in my car and go. I also like the freedom of getting in the car and taking a last minute detour to do something other than go where the bus is going. We have not rode a WDW bus since 2002. My DD21 asked me in March, on our last trip, “Have I ever been on a WDW bus?” and I told her No. Yes, it costs money to rent a car, but I don’t care, I factor it into the vacation budget. I would feel to trapped without a car and that would make me feel uncomfortable and anxious.
