Disney Gondola at Pop Century Resort Update Photos 12/2018

I checked out the Disney Gondola progress from the Disney Pop Century Resort.

I started on the Pop Century Resort side of the lake area and progressed to the bridge and then to the Disney Arts of Animation Resort side of the lake.

During the end of my stay, I noticed the thick, permanent main cables were replacing the thinner guide cables.

On my way to the airport, I noticed that there were several construction gondolas along the cable when passing Boardwalk area.

I was looking through the trees at lakeside toward the Disney Art of Animation Resort.

Same area, but looking to the left as the Disney Gondolas work their way out of the POP/AA resorts area toward the Disney Caribbean Resort.

This is not a Disney Gondola, but I wonder if this is what they may look like. It looks like a wheelchair could enter.

I can't wait to use these to just enjoy the views and travel.

For the record, I don't care if they don't have air-conditioned gondolas.

I just love the way that Walt Disney World tries to make everything more accessible for me to travel and visit and ride attractions. Very thoughtful Walt Disney World. Thank you.

That picture of gondola cars is very different system then Disney is getting. That is a multi-cable system with a much larger car. Below is a picture of one of Disney's cars that was shown at a recent event. These are a little smaller, but will have room for a wheel chair or scooter to roll right on.

Thanks, DanBoris. I am glad to hear that a wheelchair will be able to board. I saw the other gondola had a level entrance with no step-up.
