- Walt Disney World Parking Lot Courtesy Trams Return to Service After 644 Days.
Parking lot tram service has finally returned to Walt Disney World, starting with the Transportation and Ticket Center in front of Magic Kingdom. Trams transport guests from near their parking space to security at the Transportation and Ticket Center, and back again at the end of the day.

Are you happy to see the trams back? Do you think 644 days was too long?
way too long. I love the indy show and everytime we went there at the end of the visit we would go on the tram and every time it was coming to us to pick us up we waved at the people and they always waved back. I wish hollywood studios didnt turn literally 75% of the park into star wars stuff.
I am surprised Chapek didn’t make you pay a quarter for the ride
Dont temp him lol
More like $5
Hes gone XD
It’s about time….
Amen!
Do they count this as an attraction now?
It'll be an upcharge soon.
Nice to see Bob found it in his heart to peal out a few dollar’s to restart this service… Although I won’t be surprised if it has an up charge for 2022!
You took the words right out of my mouth... Omg....
Do you need to buy an individual lightning lane for them?
Dont temp Mr Pay Check!
Just a matter of time…
It’s not a courtesy tram, the tram is the first and last Disney World ride.
lol funny
Why were the trams inactive for 644 days? Because money.
Greed was the reason.
Good Morning All the way around! Happy Tram Day!
When you pay more than 100 bucks per ticket, nothing is cortesy
About damn time. That walk was brutal
Yay for the return of the Tram. It’s too bad Disney didn’t use the 2 year down time to convert the fleet to electric. Those engines are pretty loud.
I mean Disney needs something reliable....
I believe they are powered by propane which is considered to be a very clean source of energy and electric sometimes can not give you the power needed to pull all that weight. A tram has to stop and go multiple times and that requires a lot of power.
The engines in those trams not only need the power, they are also restricted on a top speed so they are geared much lower than a standard engine will be causing them to run at a much higher RPM making them noisier. I higher geared vehicle can run at the same speed, but not get as much power. In a car when it is shifting up from 1st to 5th or 6th depending on the engine, the majority of the horsepower comes within the first 3 gears. Most cars can start from a full stop in either 1st or 2nd gear because that is where the highest amount of power comes from. During those gears the engine is also at its loudest because of the higher RPMs. The higher gears run at much lower RPMs and the car is already moving at speeds so the engine only needs to provide just a little bit of power to keep it going. This is why those tram engines are so loud.
@@kato223 I liked the old Detroit diesels of the older trams much better they sounded awesome!!
@@drsusa4874 I have to agree! Indeed they did! And the smell of them was better in my opinion! :)
A sight for sore eyes.
More like a sight for sore feet! 😉🤣
A week late. We paid $25 extra for preferred parking, row 2, so we didn't have to walk a mile in each direction like last month. I want a refund, but I won't hold my breath, lol.
That money went right into Mr's Pay check's pocket!
Why do you think they didn't have the trams?
@@tulinfirenze1990 at first, due to an overabundance of caution due to Covid, but more recently, $$$
YAY THE TRAMS ARE BACK!!!!!!!!!
Courtesy trams coming soon to a lightning lane near you! ⚡️ 😂
for the AREA TYAT IS FOR ALL OF DISNEY BUESE'S TO TURN AROUND WILL BE COMPLETLY COLOSED
Thank you Stephen Colbert and your “Simba’s Boiling Asphalt Stroll,” bit.
That’s so great to hear!!
Coming in 2022. You need to book via the app 3 months out and its $20 each way but there is an exclusive parking zone painted with mickey pictures where the fee is $50 each way where you are allowed to purchase an exclusive "VIP Disney Parking" t shirt for an additional $60.
And don't forget the upcharge parking lot tram cupcake party for $75 per ticket.
The new Lightning Lane ride had debuted! only $50 per person per ride!! WOOOO WHOOOO
So when does Disney tram + go into effect?? I'm sure the Disney Genie is just itching to charge a $10 - $20 per ride fee per person.
The newer tractors appear to be 4-wheel drive.
Well, that pretty much dispels all those rumors/opinions that all of the downtime was because trams were being converted or replaced with an electrified fleet. At Disneyland, security cast members told us early on that the trams deteriorated during the 2020/2021 shutdown. There wasn't enough staff to maintain them. When they tried to put them back in service a large majority of them wouldn't run. Continued short staffing and parts shortages made the repair process prolonged. Glad to see WDW trams back in action, and can't wait for the same at Disneyland.
Yay! They're back!
I don’t like how they redid the TTC tram stops. I wish they kept them at the covered areas.
Those aren't courtesy trams, but rather an integral part of the Disney transportation that was devised from Day 1 by Walt Disney. Years ago Disney was known for moving people quickly and efficiently. This is lacking today. This leads to guest dissatisfaction. They really need to hire someone to be creative and innovative to solve what is increasingly becoming a problem in the parks. Genie is not cutting it.
Pretty soon Genie+ will offer Express Tram and Monorail Service. Only $5/per person!
Kudos to you... and yes, the courtesy at Disney parks with their disgruntled or newly under trained "cast members" can be lacking. Chapek needs to quit firing long-time employees and show some American corporate leadership. When CEO of DIS/ABC, you can't fire thousands of Imagineers in Burbank and think it won't hurt your company in the longrun.
They look like aircraft tugs
Now it's Disneyland's turn.
Wait! Disney isn't bean counting? This cannot be true...
You know Tesla is coming out with semi trucks i wonder if those could be a electric replacement for the Diesel Tram trucks? thoughts?
I know Musk said they'd be making electric semi trucks.
That was years ago --- so far, nothing.
Because it's a terrible idea. The battery pack you need to make it go takes up most of the cargo space/weight capacity.
@@chuckoneill2023 then why do they have thousands of orders from huge companies to buy there semi trucks? They’ve been delayed for new battery technology that they are working on. Pepsi said they are recovering there first trucks first part of 2022.
If Disney continues to use Taylor-Dunn products, it could be done. But Disney CEO is too cheap!
@@WillLasvegas It's not going to happen. It's just not feasible.
Short haul electric --- as for local deliveries --- has actually been done for years. More than a century, in fact. But gas/diesel are what you need for over the road. Just not enough energy density in batteries to be practical.
Electric might work with overhead wires. Using batteries is just not efficient.
I wonder how much revenue was lost because people couldn't stand to do another minute of shopping etc because they spent that energy on a mile walk to the monorail, and needed to save enough energy for the mile back. I mean look at how many people are taking these trams.
Well about friggin time!!!
I would so LOVE to have this job. I love seeing people come and go and its sitting... Its perfect for me....LoL
Awww... the little "Trammie Trams" are operational again.....
I'm waiting to see if they start charging for the tram now.
this Tram should cost $5 per person. NO WAY IT SHOULD BE FREE!!!!!
Great to see them back ! From now on Disney should follow the expression. If it isn’t broke don’t fix it ! Just saying .
finally....
Great, now sort out that steam train at magic kingdom
That is a happy Day. Now bring back my Dining plan and regardless of the cost we will be there
Why are y’all hating on the tram?
Disneyland parking lot trams be back next year
❤
That had to hurt.
Must have been all the bad press
I really hope they bring to back to Disneyland as well
Finally
how long until they start charging for trams and monorail rides like they originally did?
The cast member on the PA sounds like he could give a crap about being there - or your being there!
Couldn't give a crap.
I miss the smell of the tram!

Good Time to Go and Forecasted Wait:
2:40 PM | Higher than Usual
My 7 year old daughter actually wants to be a tram driver when she grows up 🤣 I told her don’t settle for any tram, make sure it’s a Disney one! Haha
I assume everyone who purchased Genie+ gets priority knowing Chapek.
😊😊😊😊😊😊
These comments 😂. You all stop picking on poor Bob Paycheck… your giving him a complex
how exciting … parking lot trams … thank u disney I guess ….
Driver we are all clear!
Beep - Beep!
They haven’t been running for the last year and half 😂
thy look so cheat what happen 2 the futuristic tram?
Just in time to carry Omicron and spread it among riders... no cleaning between rides and no social distancing in Florida = potential contagion (gross!)
Stay home
@@Molbyone - I am an annual pass holder in Anaheim and not WDW. Florida's track record on COVID is a disaster and disgrace. Chapek should protect the kids in the theme parks because its his responsibility to do so while hosting those families. Obviously, you do not understand those responsibilities and condone the contagion with your idiotic comment.
@@goldenpacificmedia Stay in CA. You're safe there.
@@goldenpacificmedia Wear 6 or 7 Sheeple Masks, a divers bell and a tank of air. And then turn off the television. You Simpleton Sheeple.
@@coloradostrong If being a sheeple keeps my family alive then make me a Lamb.
ABOUT TIME, WALKING THERE WAS BRUTAL!
