Rode the Skyliner for the first time the evening of Friday, October 26th, in the pouring rain (we closed the Windows so we wouldn't get wet). The ride was really smooth. We were four couples in the first gondola going to CB. We laughed and had a good time. We transferred to the next gondola at CB going to Pop and had just as great a trip. I have nothing bad to say about the Skyliner. I'd ride it all day if I could.
Pros:
Quick and quiet. You always get a seat, no standing. A comfortable ride compared to the buses. Fun. Great views.Cons:
Can get warm during the heat of the day (but you all expected that).Reviewed by sand935 Review Date: 10/29/2019

When I see rain coming in I like to ride the monorail until the rain stops. It is like riding an attraction and the views are great
Pros:
like an attraction gets you out of the rain for a whileCons:
cars can get crowdedReviewed by JGundling Review Date: 10/29/2019

I love riding and using the monorail system to get around Disney World. It's like you are on another ride in the parks. It's a lot of fun. I enjoyed using the monorail system to hop onto a different monorail to get from Magic Kingdom park to Epcot. The center is very convenient and there are always Disney staff members to assist you if you should get lost. I enjoyed hopping on and off and visiting the other Disney resorts near Magic Kingdom.
Pros:
You can ride the monorail to visit Disney resorts near Magic Kingdom (i.e., The Grand Floridian Resort).Cons:
There can be a long line/wait for the monorail from Magic Kingdom as it does seem to be the most popular park.Reviewed by Cheryl Review Date: 10/29/2019

I LOVE the boats! I love the sounds and the gentle movement of the boat as it glides across the water. I love that I get to relax a bit and enjoy a few quiet moments.
Pros:
The smaller boats that travel between resorts and have short jaunts to the parks are great! They aren't as crowded and when we are able to sit in the bow of the boat and feel the wind and sun, the experience is even more wonderful!Cons:
Not all boats are created equal. While the smaller vessels are great, the larger ones don't seem to offer the same appeal. They are usually more crowded and seating is more difficult to find. There are similarities in the experiences, but the larger boats, such as the ferry and the Friendship boats, do not offer the same enjoyment.Reviewed by Spacecadet Review Date: 10/29/2019

Disney World bus transportation is excellent considering the crowds. Sometimes the wait can seem long but you meet so many new people while waiting that the time seems to go by quickly. Kudos to the bus drivers. We all know how excited and full of energy everyone is in the morning but these drivers keep everyone happy at day's end with their stories and jokes. When you can get a tired crowd to smile and laugh you have certainly done your job well. Thanks to all those drivers who work at keeping us happy!
Pros:
Great drivers and quick rides.Cons:
Long lines to get on the bus during peak times.Reviewed by MickeyPlace16 Review Date: 10/29/2019

We love to take the boat ride that connects the Boardwalk with Epcot and the Studios. It is a great way to relax and take in the sights. At night it is magical to see all the lights.
Pros:
relaxingCons:
sometimes it can get a little hotReviewed by grammie523 Review Date: 10/29/2019

My family of 4 used Disney Buses every day of our 7 day trip early October. The times guide on the MDE app were spot on with accuracy, from our resort to the parks. We could stay in our room until about 7 minutes before the posted arrival time, go out to the bus & get right on. Very convenient! The longest we had to wait for a bus at a theme park, to return to our resort, was 15 minutes & that was only because there was a wreck & it took the bus a little longer to reach Magic Kingdom. We got to ride on 1 of the new Mickey buses & they are awesome! Love these new buses & hopefully we will get to ride more of the new ones on our trip next year. A lot of people don't like to ride the buses, but for us, they are fabulous!
Pros:
No parking fees & no driving after a long day in the parks!Cons:
My only complaint is when you have to share a bus with other resorts, but this trip, that only happened once.Reviewed by magicalhoss Review Date: 10/27/2019

love the transportation Boats are the best, very relaxing. Buses, can have long waits, but still better than navigating on your own. Monorail needs some tlc. I have not used the skyway but can't wait to use. I do solo trips and find the WDW transportation an added perk. from the time I step off the plane, until I return to the airport.
Pros:
less stress...Cons:
can be long waits, monorail needs to be refreshed.Reviewed by Boblyn Review Date: 10/27/2019

I hear a lot of complaints about the Disney Bus system but in my experience it’s the best was to get around. We stayed at Disney’s Old Key West from 10/6-10/22. During that time the Disney buses were our maid mode of transport. The My Disney Experience app shows what time the next bus is due to arrive at the bus stop so there is no need to rush out of your room only to find that you’ve just missed your bus and now have to wait 20 minutes at the bus stop.
The drivers are always friendly. The buses are always cool and clean. Do you sometimes have to stand on an overcrowded bus when you leave the parks. Yes, but it’s still easy and convenient. Plus, I love watching all of the over-stimulated children quickly lulled to sleep by the rocking bus when the lights go out
