Who can use the Monorail???

Playing the odds -- for the very few times they'd have to restrict the pontoon (once every two or three years, for about two or three trips max???), that's not a big concern.

I'm not sure if you're referring to my post.
I don't think a DVC member staying at OKW or SS should ever be told they cannot use the pontoon. It's just wrong.

Well, then you and Disney may have a difference of opinion. Unfortunately, it's "their house, their rules," and so they get to determine what is and is not "wrong" when it comes to what's best for their guests, as a group (even if that means that OKW folks have priority for the OKW pontoon). Again, I think this happens very very very very rarely, so I wouldn't worry about it, but if it poses such a concern for a guest, that guest may be better off avoiding using the pontoon, entirely.

I agree that this is not a hugh problem on a everyday basis.

But the pontoon that runs now is a DVC pontoon not a OKW one anymore.

It's an DTD,SSR,OKW loop. Then a POR,POFQ DTD loop.Last is Westside,PI ,Marketplace.

So they would be getting a call if I was told I couldn't board it.I do still have a problem with anyone being able to walk into SSR off the street or through transportation but thats another story and really is no difference from most anyother place we vacation.I just don't understand the checking cars at the front gate only and free access everywhere else.

You don't actually believe, that Disney executives-management sat down and said, when we have a DVC guest, leaving OKW and going back to SS villa, leave them at OKW or tell them to take the bus back???
Or maybe you do.
Disney does not make rules like this, but some CMs that work for Disney do.

Decisions like that are made by operating managers. That is the appropriate level for such decisions to be made. As I indicated earlier, Disney will confirm the policy if you inquire about it at WDW Guest Communications.

It's no different than BWV, BCV, and VWL. I'm not sure what you problem is...
