I recently read an article where they showed how Disneyland is putting benches along the parking tram route to establish it as a waling pathway to avoid the bottleneck lines that occurred to get on during Covid. The idea is you would walk along the path rather than ride the tram and to walk back you would return through Downtown Disney and the path direction might be reverse for surges in either direction.
My concern is this is Disney's way of phasing out the tram all together and that was their plan all along but the Covid pandemic makes it easier to phase out in the name of safety. ( Of which we know they are not really that concerned ) This new plan would have you exciting through downtown Disney furthering the exit through the gift shop mentality they push hard for. I know there was talk of a similar walking distance when they were considering the Bridge across Harbor. Does anyone know if this is the plan or will they bring back the Tram after Covid is finally back to below pandemic levels? The cost savings of no longer needing the tram or tram load staff would be a savings that the "Value trimmers" in Corporate I am sure would love to enact. I know for my family this waling distance it doable but for many this will be a deal breaker as they will not be able to handle such a long trek especially after being on their feet for a period while in the park itself.
