Villains: Ursula, Scar, Jafar, Hook So all those people who when riding the tram, thought, "they really need to something about these names," will be happy.
Originally Posted By hopemax Yes, really. As well as some updates at the tram loading area. They want to have room to have a double dropoff and load area. My Mom said something about parking both sides of the lot at the same time, so maybe a Heroes tram area and a Villains tram area?

Originally Posted By skinnerbox If you think about it, this actually makes sense.

If that's the case, then dividing the two between heroes and villains is smart. At the end of a long day, it's not rocket science to figure out if Jafar is a hero or villain. For once, Disney is doing something to actually help the park guests.

Are they killing off Goofy, Minnie, Donald, Sleepy, Dopey, Doc, etc. I still remember parking in Goofy 27 on my first trip in 1983...what am I going to do now. Where's my Prozac?

Originally Posted By vbdad55 oh the outrage ! Maybe, just maybe signage was due for a change anyway ( you know wear and tear) and they decided to freshen it up. Either way not sure why this is causing consternation...I view the money spent on something like this being under the maintenance heading..not like it's going to fund an eticket I just hope they do a quality job of it and use materials that are appealing and last and the thread can move on now as the boligatory bash of WDW visitors has already been made 'sigh'
