Gondola transportation does sound faster than the buses, & def more fun(unless you are afraid of heights).
But is it REALly worth paying $150 more a night to stay @ CBR (my guesstimate) than the current mod prices,
or $100 more per night to stay @ Pop,
or AoA?!
For transportion efficiency, an uber ride to HS and Epcot would be a mere fraction. And Disney is looking into offering their own uber/type service.
ALSO, there is the reasonable costing in/park to in-park transportion being offered now.
The gondola will not be going directly between Epcot & HS, will it?!
IF Disney spikes the rates of even a refurbished Pop to
high moderate/almost deluxe price
(due to being reclassified as a Gondola Resort, vs. value/mod/deluxe),
I see it as a HUGE loss for guests!
