we'll be there in November! I said to my husband look how long that pier is! He said you walk miles in Disney, you'll make it.

We will be there in December. Can't wait. Walking should be no problem for us but is their a tram from the ship to the island?

That pier is a problem. I’m picturing walking back on the ship after being at the beach all day with tired kids carrying all the stuff in direct sun and it doesn’t look like there are benches or anything if someone does need to stop- what was Disney thinking?

I had better rent an ECV! I was thinking of doing one of the tours of the island, but with the ECV I can’t. Very disappointed.

The more I look at that pier, the more I hate it. Disney didn’t even bother to make it colorful or attractive.

I hope photos of the actual space post soon!

We'll be there in Nov as well! So excited!!

So cool but whoa - that's quite the hike to and from the island!!

Any reason to believe they won't have a tram to transport guests to the island? I haven't heard one way or another. As to the look of the pier - it's a pier. I'm not there to look at the pier, I'm there to look at the island. I think it will be an exciting trip one day for us. Can't wait to see more of it!

I've just been assuming they will have trams. Can't imagine they wouldn't. And yeah, it's a pier... I actually think it looks cool because it's so long--but I understand those with mobility issues seeing it as a hurdle.

I believe the ship docking far and needing the long pier is part of sustainability efforts and care for the marine life

And better than tendering.

That seriously does not look good! Where are the vibrant colours and welcoming magical feel. And I sincerely hope they will put strollers available free of charge

we'll be on the 11/10 Fantasy Christmas cruise! It'll be our first Christmas one. We've done HOTHS three times.

I haven't heard anything definitive but John Magi commented on a post on IG that they have secured (with work) transportation to the island. I did not get the impression from his comment that trams would run along the pier. Time will tell though.

There are only two tram stops on the map and neither of them is on the far end of the pier, so I don't expect trams to be running down the pier at all. I would be surprised if Disney doesn't offer transportation via golf cart or something similar to those who need it, though. That's pretty common in other ports that I've visited.

I’ve seen screenshots on Reddit of one (unsourced) post from someone there who’s saying that guests with physical disabilities will be the only people who get transport, everyone else is required to cross it to get to the tram stop.

I am sure for severe mobility needs they will. Do exhausted kids count or parents carrying all their stuff? DCL primarily targets families. I am sure a 7 & 4yos are going to LOVE that walk after swimming all day and being tired.

Also the fact DCL didn't even try to make it attractive is sad. It can help motivate kids if you can say things like keep walking until you get to "the green triangle" or the "mickey painting" and we will take a break. This is going to look endless at the end of the day.
