While Disney World is my favorite vacation destination, over the various trips I\u2019ve made in the past year I\u2019ve seen most things that Disney does better.\u00a0 After my most recent trip, here are five ways that Disney could further improve the magic that is Disney World.<\/p>\n
With the parks becoming non-smoking areas that means smokers should be lighting up outside the gates… which often means right next to the path that most park goers travel to and from the park. Figuring out a way so that non-smoking park goers don\u2019t have to walk past the smoking section on their way into and out of the park would be a way that Disney could improve.\u00a0 Doing so would create a better entrances to their park- especially at Magic Kingdom where the smoking section is located right along the path to the buses.<\/p>\n
Figuring out how to convey transportation information to Guests correctly and quickly would be one way that Disney could improve.\u00a0 The multiple transportation systems need to talk to each other.\u00a0 Not like one morning where guests were told to use the Disney Skyliner<\/a> which didn\u2019t start operating for another 2 hours. Also, a method of notifying guests in EPCOT that the Disney Skyliner is down so that they don\u2019t walk all the way to the International Gateway only to have to go back to the front of the park.<\/p>\n When Disney expects you to book your FastPasses 60 days out and your dining 180 from your first trip but you have to go to Disney’s Hollywood Studios at park opening the morning of to get a boarding group<\/a> for some unknown 2 hour window later in the day, Guests can be frustrated. One option could be similar to when Disneyland opened Galaxy\u2019s Edge with a reservation system where if you stay a set number of nights (3 sounds like a good number), you have one guaranteed reservation. Or there are multiple day of time to get a boarding group- park open, 9am, noon, 3pm, 6pm, etc. where you don\u2019t have to get up before the sun and cross your fingers that your boarding group doesn\u2019t get called when it would interfere with those carefully constructed plans you made over two months ago.\u00a0 That being said, the boarding groups are a great way to not wait in an all-day line- but a few improvements to the process could be helpful for everyone.<\/p>\n It seems like many families have one of these three- but getting them on and off buses isn\u2019t easy. I would love to see Disney come up with a system that allows for some undercarriage storage for strollers during peak times and a faster loading of wheelchairs and scooters.\u00a0 Anything that helps make the loading and unloading of Disney buses faster is helpful for everyone- along with undercarriage storage creating additional standing room on buses.<\/p>\n The biggest transportation problem of most trips are park open and park close.\u00a0 On my most recent trip for instance, I went to Disney’s Hollywood Studios at park open with buses (which was the only Disney transportation option in operation) where as a solo traveler I got in line at 4:47AM where I waited on two buses before arriving at park at 5:29. Total travel time 42 minutes.\u00a0 There were at least 3 more busloads of people behind me in line when I left. Comparing this to Disney’s Hollywood Studios at park close on the Skyliner where I got in line for Skyliner at 10:27PM, starting at my location at the bottom of the ramp of the Disney’s Hollywood Studios\u2019 Disney Skyliner station and arrived back in my room at 10:52.\u00a0 Total travel time 25 minutes.<\/p>\n Skyliner transportation is very efficient.\u00a0 But it has to be operation in order for guests to be able to use it.\u00a0 Also, when the Skyliner is a benefit touted on the hotel\u2019s website, it needs to be available for guests for at least 60 minutes before park open to after park close.<\/p>\n What things do you think the Walt Disney World Resort could improve on?
