Walking in CBR cannot be calculated by google because of all the winding around inside the building clusters. You have to walk there to realize how much walking there is. When I said 10 minutes I was being generous. But you know, I am not counting the transfer time for the Skyliner. People keep saying that it is continues load and therefore no wait! If it's going to be 5-10 minutes at CBR and another 5-10 minutes at AofA/Pop, then the overall wait time is not one bit better than the buses and maybe worse, because now that we have the bus time on the phone, I never wait more than 5 minutes for a bus. So we at Pop are trading in an air conditioning bus for a hot gondola for nothing. And imagine how big a line it will be at CBR in the morning - 4 hotels trying to go to 2 different parks, that's 8 bus stops worth total. I thought everybody keeps claiming there won't be a line!
I am not going on the gondola when there is a big crowd I will be smacking into at CBR. Holy cow. Our Pop buses don't even make stops! And even when I wait for buses at CBR, there's never a big crowd at the bus stop.
I am imagining cruising right on to the gondola at Pop and CBR and getting to DHS within 10 minutes of leaving my room! And I have a way of finding out if this is possible.
Starting August 29th, I am staying at BWI, CBR and then Pop. I booked the trip before the SWGE announcement -- isn't my luck just INCREDIBLE? So, assuming the gondola will be open, I will time myself for traveling to DHS:
Pop: preferred room to gondola to CBR to DHS.
CBR: preferred room to gondola to DHS.
BWI: standard room walking to DHS.
I will walk at the same hurried speed for all three trips, pushing DS3 in a stroller and yelling at DS13 and DS18 to move faster. (teenagers can be so slow and lazy sometimes.)
There is just one problem.
@yulilin3 says that he is going to be camping along the Boardwalk path to DHS with 60 thousand of his closest friends! I won't be able to walk very fast if the path is packed with Star Wars homeless dudes camping, and my time calculations won't be accurate. That path isn't that wide.
(But DS13 says it would be very cool to see that many Star Wars homeless dudes. So we are definitely hoping to see
@yulilin3 and his numerous friends.)
