This Disney World Experiment Had Shocking Results

[@tealcandtrip]

You should do the reverse. What is the quickest way to get back to your hotel when the park closes and everyone leaves? What’s the fastest way to get from TTC to Magic Kingdom?

[@maggierose1197]

PLEASE!!!!!

I definitely want to see one of them try to walk to magic kingdom 😐🤣

[@hollygee4697]

Melissa totally got in the wrong line at CB hub on the second run. She got in the epcot line, which is long at that time since it opens at 11ish. The HS line is very short at that time since it has been open for over an hour. You can see the cast member holding the end of the line sign and it says Epcot! Love you guys!

[@hopefulton8957]

Very informative. Would like to see this done from animal kingdom lodge. Even maybe if it wood be quicker to take transportation to another hotel , like that offers boats to magic kingdom. Or take Lyft to another hotel on first leg or is hotel to hotel buses an option ( for same purpose). From pop century I took skyliner to hotel from Epcot at 10:30pm and at 11. Wait was15 minutes. Now, I was in ecv which after 10 minutes the separated ecv’s from the main line. But this was very helpful. For reference purposes I was at WDW 2 weeks ago.

[@alexismelton6064]

YES!!!! What a great idea.

[@hillaryellis5007]

Yes I’d love to see from each hotel and include the bus option to see how long that takes.

[@estherjohnson6502]

Would 100% watch a video of molly and Breedlove talking about Disney history in a lounge or something. All three of you are charming and delightful.

[@grammysgrandadventures]

This is a great topic for a series of videos, because we all try to figure out what is the quickest way to get somewhere or get back, so this is super useful. Love the videos where there are more allears staff involved they are always fun

[@PaolaGarcia-fs8ej]

Aaah, I enjoy watching these three people so much. They are also so fun and nice. I hope we get to see more videos of them together

[@johnmathis6417]

Melizza is a perfect addition!

[@cidermonkey4004]

That whole walking trail from Epcot through the Boardwalk area and then on to Hollywood Studios is fantastic. Great if you're like me and would rather walk than wait.

[@mbolu349]

As much as I love the Skyliner. I have to admit, I love how relaxing the Disney boats are!

[@nicoleel2578]

We always stay at swan and dolphin and LOVE doing the walking path! It’s so much better being on your own time

[@maryhultgren3792]

Thank you!! This is now the second video you have given us in the last month that is a literal scenario I have talked about and wanted to know. I think my spirt animal is ALL EARS! You guys are the best!!

[@bingus305]

I’ve been loving your video lately. I’m going to Disney World this Fall so your videos are very helpful.

[@claudiofamilyadventures]

I'm really sorry that Melizza didn't get the "Frozen" gondola. I was hoping she would.

[@candycemonroe7345]

I would love to see this again when they are willing to put strangers together in the skyliners.

[@gamberlane]

This is an awesome experiment and very informative! We love using the Disney boat transportation, even if it isn't as fast as others as it's just so pleasant and the scenery is so lovely.

[@johde7467]

My rule of thumb with the Boardwalk is if the boat is at or near the dock it is probably just as fast as walking. If you can't see the boat, walking is faster. I saved my Skyliner rides for afternoon breaks. No waits at all getting on.

[@queeniev]

Dang that line for the Skyliner though!

[@kjblovesdisney]

I would love to see transportation options from each of the resort areas. Also how you get to places other than parks.

[@EyesOfFairyBlue]

Would love to see a bus vs skyline from Pop Century/ Art of Animation. We are making our first visit this fall and we have a group member who is scared of the skyline and wondering if it's better than a bus.

[@Sydney-gs3gl]

Yesss I want to see this so bad.

[@karenw2197]

@Blue_Eyed_Fairy You should confirm but I think they stopped having buses to/from Hollywood Studios and EPCOT from Pop Century / Art of Animation because they have the skyliner now.

[@EyesOfFairyBlue]

@@karenw2197 last I checked the bus is still running but at a much more reduced rate. I don't mind the skyliner, but it just always seems so crowded.

[@johnmathis6417]

Add Uber in the mix and keep Melizza on the videos please!!!

[@loraduncan3855]

I can tell you from personal experience the busses from Art of Animation are much quicker to Hollywood Studios than the skyliner. In January it took us 10-15 minutes to get to Hollywood Studios from Art of Animation on the bus first thing in the morning.

[@annikabergstrom8733]

Walking may be the fastest, but if you’re trying to drag someone under 13 it’s not worth it lol (my nine year old sister was DONE by the time we got to Hollywood studios lol)

[@angelaterranova1577]

Guess it depends on the kid - we have always walked to HS from BWV or BCV with younger kids - never a problem.

[@unvoicedapollo3318]

That's a tough one for me as a kid. I have flat feet so walking is particularly tiresome, but I feel as a kid I would've chosen walking over waiting for transportation most times (then again as a kid, I was also incredibly afraid of heights, so skyliner would've been out anyway 🤣).

[@vailstlchick21]

More of these videos, please. This is exactly what I needed since I'm staying at the Dolphin soon.

[@travelhackertm268]

You guys should do a park touring plan experiment-either low-key and no zig-zagging across the park VS. chasing low wait times. Track rides, wait times, & steps. Include a quick service lunch and snack for each.

[@alexcatania8819]

A video with tips about taking your own car to the parks and park hopping and such would be amazing! Should I drive to every park or take Disney transportation while hopping? I'd love to know :)

[@ArieELLE]

I tried to get to Epcot from Hollywood studios around 9pm two nights ago and they had to send an extra bus for us and it took at least 30 min which killed our time at Epcot before closing so I would say don’t take the buses toward closing lol

[@vincelopiccolo]

Short answer, it depends. We usually drive to and between parks, works for our family of go getters. Then you have your car with you at park close.

[@allisonprange3816]

If this video happens, please talk about the tolls. That threw me for a loop on my last trip as someone who doesn’t live in FL.

[@soozshooz]

You 3 are GR8! Thank you for doing all the “ Leg” work, literally. MOI, the boat seems the best choice bc it’s the most relaxing quickest way without too much sweat equity. You’ll be on your feet ALL day so why add 15-20 min of walking in the heat b-4 park entry & or standing for 50 minutes on a tram lines, you’ll be standing on lines all day! Sit on a boat & relax before entering the park.

[@macdancer37]

This is great! Maybe a video like this at the hard-to-get-to resorts like Coronado Springs and Animal Kingdom Lodge

[@stuffingtonjfluffypantsiii]

I am TERRIFIED of heights. A clear Skyliner gondola ride feels like it would be my worst nightmare

[@Moon_Thief_420]

I didn't even realize that the 🚡 came in clear! I thought they all had the character wraps. We're doing a multigenerational trip in October, and suddenly I regret accepting my husband's dare to ride the Skyliner. *gulp*

[@bettyserviere2643]

I'm scared of heights also but I had no problem with the Skyliner while I was there last Fall. I just don't look at the ground. I looked up or at the scenery ahead of us.

[@cher237]

We definitely need more experiments like this. And include the buses....try to include every option for full comparisons. Love it.

[@ddjrm]

That was fun and informative, thanks guys! I love the boats around WDW and enjoy taking them for a different view, have never ridden the Skyliner because every time I tried it was down, my preferred way to get around is to always walk to be able to see so many small details I would miss any other way.

[@JennAndAmy]

Great video! I’m not so excited about taking the skyliner after seeing the long lines Melizza had to deal with. 😵‍💫👎

[@brianrhester]

I do wonder if post-COVID restrictions (where only one party per gondola can board) is gone if you’ll still get the same result. Once more than one party can board per gondola and we’re probably not going to have a bottleneck (or as bad) at the Caribbean Beach Resort hub. They can fit up to five couples or roughly two families at a time. Now we have to board those separately and that quickly builds a line. It’s like when Disney started sitting every row again on certain rides.

[@danielleplacco6914]

Molly: "and I enjoy your plumage" hahahaha! Getting back to your resort at park close! That would be the most helpful!

[@mbolu349]

I absolutely love the Skyliner. I see it as just another ride that happens to get you to the park/resort you are headed to.

[@natalie4312]

That was great! Thank you! Looking forward to our Beach Club stay and either walking in the early morning or taking the boat.

[@denisebaker7643]

Molly and Breedlove's conversation on the bench! Oh, AllEars, you're too much!

[@mirandasmith6619]

Would also really love a video series on how to do the parks with certain age groups but specifically more geared to ages 0-10. All the other videos on how to have the best day in each park are amazing. Like what would you make a priority if you had smaller children, for each park.

[@Anvilarm07]

Test transportation and rope drop-to-ride videos are my favourite videos.

[@heathern7356]

This is another fabulous idea! I hope you make this into a new series! We all question things like which direction to start in a park and which form of transportation to take and I am beyond thankful that you think of our struggles and not only give us valuable vacation planning information but also to keep us thoroughly entertained by the amazing All Ears crew at their finest as always!

FANTASTIC video! I’m heading to Beach Club in a few months and this is invaluable info. Thank you!!

[@rustybarrel516]

We stayed at Yacht Club in 2016 and really liked being able to walk to DHS and Epcot. We used the boats a couple times for DHS and learned on one trip that they won’t let people on or off if there is lightning in the area, so you could be stuck awhile. We haven’t been to WDW since the gondola system was put in. I’m a bit leery of it for the same reason I try to avoid the monorail - if it gets stuck, it could be awhile before you get going, and until you do you’re 20 feet in the air under the Florida sun (no AC on the gondolas I think). That might not happen very often, but it could have a big impact, especially if you’re trying to get to a reservation. I’d be more inclined to use them for the return trip since time doesn’t matter as much, and it can be a nice way to relax after a long day of walking.

[@ben12079]

This was a terrific video and for the first time we got to meet Melizza and she is adorable (I’ve only seen her read comments of others before). My wife and I stayed at POP Century in December 2019 and the Skyliner was awesome! The current length of the lines is a direct result of Covid restrictions (first world problems). In a few months the lines will shorten considerably. Keep up the great work AllEars!

[@karen-ge6fu]

Great video, maybe next time also include the busses. I recall Molly stating it was the fast route from TTC to MK main entrance. But also thought it could be very long journey when park hopping.

[@donnamangano4098]

Staying at pop century mid August. The only choice we will have are the skyway or bus. I would love to see the timing to Epcot and Hollywood studios using both forms of transportation.

[@stacirobinson6162]

It would be interesting to do this experiment again when things get back to normal.

[@Sydney-gs3gl]

I feel like it would be very similar because there may be less people now but people aren’t able to cram in transportation close together

[@steerr]

The Skyliner will be a lot more efficient when things are back to normal and those lines should be a LOT shorter. If they're only averaging 2-4 people per cabin, that's only 20-40% of capacity. Getting back to 8-10 people per cabin will go a long way.

[@MaggieLuds]

@@steerr the skyliner is usually my preferred method during normal times. And I usually stay at Caribbean Beach because of this. The wait time is only bad first thing in the morning. I rarely remember the line going significantly beyond the Joffrey's coffee shack even in the morning.

[@CarouselofDouglas]

[@stuhnah1]

Great idea guys !!! I have always wondered how the travel times work with the different WDW transportation options and it is crazy to see how the one thing that most people HATE to do (walking), is actually the quickest option in this resort test. And I can say this cuz I am the first one that does not want to walk anywhere...... At least I thought this way until a cold morning one day I walked from Contemporary to Magic Kingdom, and it was so quick, easy, and relaxing. But then again, everything is WDW is beautiful & relaxing.....

[@Znash888]

I just used the sky liner to get to Hollywood studios this past Sunday first thing in the morning from pop century and we were able to walk right on to both gondolas without any wait time! Guess the skyliner is just hit or miss.

[@stefaniegatlin2017]

This was a great video. Super helpful! Could you do one like this from Pop/Art and show the difference in bus and Skyliner?

[@amycronkright6421]

When we stayed at Pop last month (very busy time during Spring Break), they weren’t even running buses to HS or EP. There were signs at the bus stops that said “Take the Skyliner.” Was kinda disappointed.

[@janemcdaniel7502]

I love the boats too! They are so relaxing and fun. And bonus that they are close to the walking time. I have experienced the skyliner bottlenecks so that timing was not a surprise. I still love the view from the skyliner thou.

You'll have to redo this once the Skyliners can have more than one party loaded.

[@loewenangel1]

There is a little shortcut you can take at Boardwalk if you walk thru the main pool area and not out around the end of the Boardwalk (jelly rolls)!!
