The way some of the posters have been defending the decision for Disney to do that really makes me think they truely believe the people staying at SOG are riff raff! I agree these people are staying at a hotel for like one week a year and want to act like they own the darn place and gate keep it from others. The real issue is Disney pulling a cash grab with DVC without increasing transportation capabilities not the resort who’s had a walkway for decades, who’s guests they cater too literally defend this country!

I am a veteran and I used the term riff raft as sarcasm. The walk way was there for years. It is my understanding a pedestrian bridge was proposed and not going to cost Disney a dime and they said no and ripped up the walk end of discussion.

I mean, it seems like the proper target for anger here is the company charging the insane price of $900 for a product that isn’t remotely worth that and not the family of “outsiders” who would like to ride the monorail. “Resort hopping” used to be one of the great pleasures of Disney resorts and added a lot of value to staying on property. The barriers they’ve thrown up to prevent that practice hurt the overall Disney resort experience and it’s sad to see guests celebrating those measures because they’re afraid “undeserving” people might enjoy things they shouldn’t.

So happy to be able to walk from TTC to MK again finally!

At least the cutouts have foliage, but I agree.

Interesting, I wasn’t aware of that since the road signs within Disney differ from the standard road signs (and often times for the worse). Either way the numerous ways to get to the poly are still all acceptable and allowed ways.

Really wish they had incorporated a water feature and foliage into the interior of the lobby, like the Great Ceremonial House used to have. It would have elevated it to "Disney-quality," whereas what's there is just a nicely decorated, generic hotel lobby.

Interesting I just came to this same conclusion and used the same examples (plus the HM shop at DL) posted over on the new DL entry gate thread. Prompted by this non sense….

While the most parcels are owned by TWDC, most roads and all of the highways and most other utility infrastructure are maintained by CFTOD (RCID) and are considered public.

The entire Disney property is private property! Not just the resorts. The other way is walking from grand Floridian. There’s actually a lot of ways to get to the poly. You can go to Disney springs and take a bus also! Or go to any theme park and take a bus. Disney is very much an open transportation grid, just not with parking as obviously the resorts wouldn’t be able to accompany all the cars who want to park otherwise. I am not sure about the financial aspects of a substitute, I just know it was there and now it isn’t.

It was likely more economical for SOG to use another provider, unfortunately that decision was not in the better interest of guests. The walkway is no longer there because a highway being built in the existing roadways place. I'm sure if SOG was willing to foot the bill to install a tunnel or pedestrian bridge it would have had a good possibility of being installed. But again it was a cost/benefit decision by SOG to evaluate the number of their guests using it versus the tremendous cost to install it. The resorts are private property. The big sign on the entrance gate says only resort guests and those with confirmed dining reservations will be admitted. The only way I'm getting there if I'm not of the above categories is taking Disney Transportation or Walking from the TTC to get there.

It’s not silly at all. SOG had the appropriate transportation in place until Disney unilaterally got rid of it. That walkway has been there for DECADES! It’s silly to go and get rid of it and be like oh well they don’t deserve to have it anyways the plebs can figure it out. The feature of the resort are NOT only for guests of that specific resort except for things like their room, pool and fitness center, transportation and food places, all people are welcome. Your post completely ignores how Disney operates and is just very silly

Nah, I’m good with my opinions. Resorts that charge $900 per night should have better amenities than those charging $300 per night. I am astounded that this isn’t obvious to everyone. Military can save 25-30% at just about every deluxe resort through the end of 2025 if they’d like those amenities. I really don’t think they mistreat the military. I think there’s a park ticket deal, too.
