Attack of the Lakeshore Lodge

[peder]

It’s a lot of resorts on Bay Lake now. I think transportation will be something that will require some investment? Is there any chance we could see a skyliner link to Epcot or any other option like that?

Skyliner wouldn't be that useful. Its a smaller number of rooms very spread out.

Skyliner today services: 6700 Rooms
All of Bay Lake: 5673 Rooms+Campsites

Example are you having people take a boat from WL and GF to a Skyliner at Contemporary?

If they are adding a skyliner it would be to Disney Spring or to AK from the existing area. That being said Disney seems to refuse to run the system in weather (like it likely is designed for) so its not as useful as it could be which is sad.

I am doubtful that Disney will ever create a Skyliner to Disney Springs... the parking loophole would be too significant....

Agree. Very little or negative payoff for the expense incurred (even more incentive for people to stay in good neighbor hotels/offsite rather than on property).

Transportation.... what is the plan with this?

I’ve been wondering about the guest road access first and foremost.

It doesn’t make sense to route people through the Fort, buses or driving guests. Best access would be the same entry road as Wilderness Lodge, and then routing people around to Lakeside… kind of like Jambo and Kidani.

I don’t know if this would entail moving the “gate” at WL to a different spot, or if it would serve both WL and LL kind of like AKL does for both buildings. The other thing to consider is I think the big WL arch is ahead of the gatehouse?

There’s a permit filled for work on that road, so it’s a relatively safe bet that the access will be through the wilderness lodge entrance.

Time to rename this thread?
