Fair enough but how many gondola systems of the sort without are located in a climate like central Florida?
Maybe I'm off-base but it seems nuts to me. After riding the Dsneyland monorail in that much more mild climate, which is also not A/C'ed but has open windows for ventilation, it can get awfully sticky in those cars.
With all the building of new resorts and rooms, I sure hope Disney has a 5th gate that they’re in the planning stages of behind the scenes.
Exactly this! Why build a whole new park when there is so much room for expansion in the existing parks? A whole new park would have the added burden of new infrastructure (parking lots, roads, entrance plaza, utilities, etc) built from scratch whereas the existing parks already have those in place.I think there's no need for a fifth gate. I think they need to continue expanding capacity in their existing parks, though, which is what they've been doing
I think there's no need for a fifth gate. I think they need to continue expanding capacity in their existing parks, though, which is what they've been doing and have to hopefully continue doing after Star Wars, Ratattoullie and Guardians, and Tron. (And yes there's the argument that guardians replaced a high capacity existing ride, but a high capacity ride no one rides on is not a high capacity ride....guardians to me expands capacity by taking a ride no one rides and exchanging it for what is likely to be a popular ride.

IMO a 5th cannabilizes the other parks. People only have so much time as it is. You add another park and people are spending less time at the other 4. I almost feel 4 is the perfect number. Less than that and there is still room for expansion. More than 4 and you could have some issues. Also if a recession happens (which it’s bound to happen eventually as it always does) people won’t be coming in droves to WDW.These are all great points as long as the current parks can handle the crowds. After being in both the MK and Epcot on days when we were shuffling through crowds because it was difficult to walk, it has me wondering if the current parks can continue to spread out the crowds enough to make touring enjoyable? If they can, great! If not then a 5th gate could be the answer, especially given the loooong time range it would require to build it.

We do when I remember to do itNot sure if we still do the “This day in Disney history” thing but I would propose to include that Mary Blair was born on this date, October 21st, in McAlester Oklahoma in 1911.

I’m also hoping that when those new resorts open 60 day fp will move back to only onsite stays. Otherwise that would be a lot more people fighting for fp at 60 days.Personally, I don't see on-site lodging creating any additional theme park guests. If anything, it will pull a few hundred people from off-site lodging back on-site. But, those are people that were probably going to be visiting the theme park anyway.
It’s been sort of rumored for a while now even before that post.RUMOR
Wreck It Ralph and Vanellope meet coming to EPCOT ... potential for Joy and Sadness meet to move to Imagination pavilion
Blog Mickey is also reporting this - but seems to just be a regurgitation of what the below says so may just be single source so far
