Welcome back to another edition of the Disney dish podcast with Jim Hill. It's me,

Len Testa. Today we've got a really special show for you based on information that

Jim was able to learn about Disney's new Skyliner project. I will dispense with the

introductions. Let's bring in Jim right away.

Jim, tell us what you've heard.

Yeah, and let me preface this by saying that you and I have been talking about this project since it was announced back in July of

2017 at the D23 Expo. And we've heard lots of things about it, right, operationally.

We were among the first to kind of point out the whole issue with the International Gateway at Epcot.

Hold on, pause there. I was at Epcot the other day and they've actually made the exit side. They've enabled them with tap styles to enter as well.

So it's entirely possible at the beginning of the day the entire width of the

entryway will be used for entrance. They basically doubled the number of

tap style points. Okay, but go ahead, go ahead. There's a reason for that. There's a reason for

that. But anyway, talk about the Skyway. Okay, so had somebody reach out in response to that and really we got the

sort of info dump you dream about. So let me preface this. We had heard from

somebody in Park Ops that they were concerned

that the original design of the Skyliner did not have air conditioners.

Yeah that's what prompted this question okay so then you reached out and this is what you got as a response.

And it turns out that not only do you things have air conditioning, we've been wrong about the capacity,

I mean we have to do a total brain rethink here Lynn this is not okay the skyway revisited the way we're supposed to think about this attraction going forward

Excuse me transportation system though attraction is not necessarily wrong.

We'll get to that.

No, from what you heard, go ahead.
