Agreed. I wonder at what point - or even in what year - will busses be regarded as yesteryear, dirty, slow, and "unDisneylike" for the corporation to seriously think alternatives. We know guests hate them. I certainly do.

The traffic is really bad now too. It's significantly worse than 5 years ago. Parking garages are under construction at Downtown Disney. From what I understand, they will be free parking too which completely stuns me. Also, pedestrian bridges are being built across Buena Vista Dr. finally. Can't believe they didn't do that years ago just to prevent a potential injury/fatality.

Update: RCID to pay for them. Also, some more interesting nuggets in here.

It's so unbelievably bad. We used to take our boys there every couple of weeks or so, but now we don't go at all.

I went to a House of Blues concert a few months ago and drove around the parking lot and just got stuck, not moving for 30 minutes as the entire lot was not just full, but cars couldn't even drive around. Obviously, I shoulda went valet but once I was in the parking lot I was stuck and would have easily taken over an hour just to get back to valet. I was lucky enough to find a girl dumb enough to actually agree to get into my car and I'd take her to her spot so I could guarantee getting a spot.

It would take a serious overhaul in leadership for this to even cross their minds. They love the flexibility and cost effectiveness of busses.

ETA: The Hat coming down is long overdue. It was only meant to be "temporary" and has been budgeted to come down for years now only for the money to be reallocated year after year. This is the best announcement from them since the Wand came down at Epcot.

As for Studios changes. Obviously things are happening, but I won't get excited just yet. Current rumors point to a clone of Toy Story Playland and a third track for Toy Story Midway Mania. So yeah, curb your enthusiasm.

Something needs to be done though because the Studios is bleeding attendance and is propped up only by Star Wars Weekends and park hopper clicks.

The RCID, depending on how you look at it, is either the perfect example of the sheer genius of Walt and his cronies, or, the biggest, most terrible example of government abuse in the history of our fine nation. Or perhaps both.
