BREAKING: We Have a BIG Update on Parking Lot Trams in Disney World
By Kelly Oliveros 7 Comments
Buffets, character dining, character meet-and-greets (with some distance), and more things have returned to "normal" in several Disney World spots.
Trams are still not running
But, one BIG thing Disney fans have been missing are those parking lot trams. Since the parks reopened, the trams have not been back, meaning guests have had to make the (sometimes rather long) walk to and from their cars to the front of the park. But, soon that will all be changing!
We've been on the lookout for any news about the parking trams in Disney World, and have seen some updates in the past potentially suggesting their return. But, today we've got a huge update.
Disney shared a post on Twitter today indicating that parking trams will be coming back to Magic Kingdom later this month, and will be returning to other Disney World theme parks throughout 2022. Hooray!!

HOORAY, and it's about time for the return of the parking lot trams!! The walk at the end of a long park day back to one's car has been awful. And some park's lots are worse than others. MK's is the absolute worse and Hollywood Studios seems like the easiest to negotiate back and forth from. In fact, when I go to EPCOT (2nd worst walk, in my opinion) I usually park at Studios and take the Skyliner to EPCOT's international gateway entrance.

I wonder how much they will charge us to ride it once it returns?
They'll probably add it to a new app called TRAMS+
There will be a paid version and a free version.
The free version lets you see where it's at.
The paid version lets you get on. But it will cost extra for the return trip to your car.
Of all the Nickel and Dimming go on, this is one of the worst. There is no reason the trams should have been out of service for so long now. I realize Social Distancing was part of the reason for a while, but they still could have had them running even with Social Distancing ever since the parks re-opened. But they choose not to just to save a buck or two out of greed. Knowing Bob Chapek andJosh D'Amaro they'll probably try to charge guest to ride the tram and charge even more if you want to skip the lines for the trams.
With the way they run the que lines now, ie: "Fill in all the available space." I don't thinks that's even an issue anymore.
The only reason they still make guest wear masks is for the optics of making them look like they are still doing something.

Get ready, $$$
Coming back at a cost $$$$
The new executive team only gives back at additional cost.$$$$$
Brandon: Thanks, that is my point. They should have had the trams up and running a longe time ago.
