Unbelievable crowds at MK yesterday 9/28! Wow!

[Future_WorldPhonencian]

Its the halloween and christmas parties that drive up those crowds in MK sept- dec. MK is the most popular park in the world. I completely understand people not wanting to "burn" a ticket at the MK on a day that it closes at 6 or 7pm. And I also understand people enjoying the parties. Disney needs to either spread Christmas parties more evenly between the 4 parks (or build a 5th gate and spread them even more) Or find a way to offer earlier or later hours to "standard guests" Maybe open MK at 7AM on those party days or push the parties a little later so they can do a standard and a party fireworks show.

Transportation post Fireworks at the MK is ALWAYS a nightmare. In fact, on my last 2-3 trips to MK we left just as the Fireworks were starting to avoid the Mad Rush. (I should mention that we are fortunate enough to have seen them several times already) Something has to be done. The monorail has its own slew of issues. The Ferry boats are reliable but slow. MK needs a 4th transit option along with the Buses, Boats, and Monorail. Maybe they could install a peoplemover or Gondola system around or across the Lagoon?

Well if the rumors are accurate, they’re finally finishing the walkway around Seven Seas Lagoon and I think that will help alleviate at least some of the pain. Most people will still likely wait for transportation but having a walking option will at minimum do a lot to help the Poly and GF guests who can’t get on resort monorails packed with day guests trying to get back to their cars at the TTC (not that my last trip made me bitter or anything LOL).

I would totally take advantage of a walking path... For some reason I was under the impression that it didnt connect to the TTC just the Grand Flo...Wonder if they will they advertise it as an option or it will be one of those "secret" options that only those in the know will use.

GF already connects to the TTC via the Poly. I imagine they’ll keep it quiet as it’s not particularly easy to navigate!

Technically they are only building it out to the GF, but that’s all they need to do since it’s already been possible to walk between GF, Poly and TTC.
