100 Days of Wonder – #55

by Jess Guth

I have spent some time on trains these last 2 days so thought I’d go for a transport picture. The first time I went to Disney it hadn’t even occurred to me that it would be so huge that transport would need to be a thing. We went on the monorail round the Magic Kingdom resorts and I had a great time! The monorails are also very supportive of running events tooting encouragement when they pass by or over the course.

They are also efficient. And Disney logistics efficiency is something to behold. I obviously find joy and wonder in the magic but I also find it in the logistics and how almost all of the time things just work. Monorails and buses transport thousands of runners to the start line over marathon weekend and actually guests back to hotels and car parks after fireworks every night. Sure it gets crowded but those crowds disperse fast. Rarely do you have to wait long for a bus and they generally come when indicated. When it’s busy it feels like the monorails just keep coming. As chaotic as I generally am, I do find joy in good, efficient and effective transport systems. Living in the UK, they’re a rare treat!
