Susan Arnold already making her presence felt?

I know this was a joke, but for those that take it seriously, no. These decisions are made at a much lower level.

Yeah, was totally joking - but you don't think leaders ever make decrees for stuff like this? Especially in the face of bad PR? When it becomes a joke on the Stephen Colbert late night show, you know it has gained more traction than just in the Disney fan circle. I could see someone (not necessarily Susan - but potentially Josh or Chapek) saying that they're getting bad PR on this and to figure out a way to get the trams running again.

I work for a large company, and we have decrees come down from leadership - sometimes as a result of bad PR, decisions which normally would be made by much lower level people, but in this case the CEO or Cxx made the decision and handed it down.

This was in the works for awhile though before the announcement came out.

Honestly, I feel like the hits keep coming re: bad PR and they're not doing enough to get ahead of any of it. Getting 1 of 4 parks a tram and the rest sometime next year - helps slightly. But the news also came out that no one can make new plans to go to Disneyland in 2021. Just from a headline/LSSC standpoint, that's not a great PR story (even as I realize that it's a reality). I think new info re: the omicron variant will take up column inches that could've gone towards "how out of touch is Disneyland that people can't get in for the rest of the year" stories (but maybe I'm wrong and those wouldn't have mattered/happened).

I'm guessing no official date(s) yet? So glad their back though. A mile at the start of the day is doable but after a full day of trekking all over the parks? It's rough

…I did feel a lot better about that last dole whip you squeezed in!

Thank goodness.

No more deciding to go home and having a pit form in your stomach as you realize you're already tired and you have THE WALK to tackle...

Probably a reaction to Jackie Gailey’s comments on NBC’s Today show. Talk about bad PR! Way to go Jackie! Here come the trams!

about time. What a crappy look this has given disney.

Should be ashamed of themselves thats its taken this long.

 

[AnnaKristoff2013]

I'm amazed they're bringing them back without an upcharge (to improve the guest experience of course). They could have added them as an ILL$ attraction.

A Tram is a Wish Your Heart Makes

Nobody messes with Jackie!

Glad to see them return. we use Disney transportation most of the time. But the times we drive to a park, the trams are appreciated.

 

[TinkAgainU]

I did not renew my Disneyland pass until the park posted the trams were returning. The hike from the parking structures to the entrance in California is insanely long with kids.

I may be in the minority, but I rather like not having trams in the parking lots - they are SO noisy! I have never understood why WDW does not have electric-powered trams.

I agree with you. I'd rather just walk instead of take the tram personally but the trams and the cars in Tomorrowland Speedway should be electric by now.
