Monorail Expansion: The Right Track

If you were to poll the average, "hardcore" Walt Disney World fan (your Annual Pass-holders, DVC members, etc.) on the top 5 things that make up their WDW Wish List...I think a vast majority (75 percent, maybe?!?!) would include monorail expansion.  The topic has long been the source of rumors, raised expectations, and eventually disappointment.  To many, the monorail is the unofficial mode of transportation for Disney theme parks.  These vehicles are, without a doubt, an attraction in their own right.

So what routes should be considered when discussing monorail expansion?  Here are the 2 that jump to mind for me:

• Transportation and Ticket Center (TTC)-Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park-Animal Kingdom Lodge -  This route makes quite a bit of sense to me.  First off, Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park is the only WDW theme park of the four that is serviced exclusively by bus transportation.  Similarly, Animal Kingdom Lodge is the only Deluxe Resort that relies solely on bus transportation (as far as Disney mass transit options are concerned).  These two popular destinations are also viewed as 2 of the more "out there" locations on WDW property.  Now, much of that is intentional due to their theming.  Which is where my hesitation for adding this route comes in.  It would have to be done in way that respects their commitment to the wildlife reserve look and feel.  However, if anyone could pull this off, it would be Walt Disney Imagineering.
• Epcot-Caribbean Beach Resort-Pop Century Resort-All Star Resorts - To date, the monorail has exclusively catered to Deluxe Resorts.  The case could convincingly be made that that should remain the case.  For the rates a guest must pay to stay at these resorts, additional perks aren't just welcomed...they are expected.  And convenient and unique transportation is one of those perks.  But at its roots, the monorail is a mass transit system.  And if you want to truly maximize this system, you need to expand it in a way that will allow the greatest number of guests to take advantage of the service it offers.  This loop would open up the monorail to over 10,000 more rooms total.  Obviously, the right amount of planning would need to go into this expansion to ensure the monorail could handle that sort of load increase.  However, it has to be more efficient that the current bus system being offered to these locations.  More adventurous guests could even transfer twice, and end up at the Magic Kingdom.  Perhaps not as quick as a bus ride to the original Disney World park...but considerably more fun.

These are just 2 options out of countless combinations that could be dreamed up.  What route would you like to see added?  Or do you think the monorail system is fine as it is?
