2 thoughts on the time comparison between the buses and gondola's;
The time for buses is best case scenario, add walking up when one is just leaving, traffic, full or loading a
scooter or two and the time can easily be more like 45-60 minutes. During mid day I've walked up and a bus was waiting and was able to hop on an get to DHS or Epcot in as little as 15-20 but still had to walk almost 10 minutes from the bus stop to the gate, DHS is now closer so that helps. Getting from the gondola station at either park is less than a minute at Epcot and maybe only a little over a minute to DHS.
As far as the gondola time, maybe they are planning on running them at a speed where they don't tilt on take off and landing as much, the faster speed test's we saw may have been top speed for evacuations. I would love that tilting but it may not be everyone's cup of tea.
The gondola's will always be faster even at peak times..does anyone think the buses will be any faster at peak times and everyone having a seat?
