A recent thread about the Monorail touched lightly on the issue of some kind of transportation up and down DtD. I myself have walked to one end of DtD only to groan that I now had to walk all the way back. A member of my family & I were staying at the DL Hotel recently. She has a bad knee and, after walking all day, had to stop twice on the way back to the hotel so she could give her knee a rest. No blame to Disney here. It was just an unusually taxing day for her knee and some light transportation would've been nice.
I considered perhaps a PeopleMover system. Of course it would have to be elivated but with the way DtD is laid out it would be difficult to incorporate into the atmosphere and architecture. A moving walkway like you find at airports would be impractical and, as pointed out in the Monorail thread, some kind of cart/shuttle/tram service would be a pedestrian hazard.
Is it possible for there to be a convenient, comfortable way to transport guests up and down DtD and still keep the "resort" feel of the place?
This is one of those things to makes me go "Hmmmm."
