I am glad somebody brought this up. My cousin is the marketing buyer or purchaser for Disney and I am going to bring this up when I see here next month. I live in Palm Coast but don't consider any of the roads around Downtown Disney to favor bicycles at all since most coming from their own hotels don't even have a 3 foot median. We go there probably once a month with our annual passes for the kids but I never remember seeing bike racks anywhere. But all the blame can't go to Disney since I do think that bicycles as a mode of transportation is just not accepted in the US as in other country's. This I see everyday as I ride my bike to work and everybody stares at me on the median like I don't belong there. Kind of like your experience with Disney.
