“Strong Towns” advocate Charles Marohn loves Disney World (he explains why it’s analogous to punk rock band Green Day here). Above all, he likes the way Disney moves people around:
From a layout and design standpoint, the Disney World resort complex is the ultimate strong town. There you have places (theme parks, resorts, commercial areas and other destinations) that are connected by roads. Those roads accommodate fast moving cars, buses, monorails and even travel by boat. Internal to each of those places are networks of streets — largely devoid of cars but, where cars are present they are slow moving and pedestrian-compatible — that provide access to these places and support a complex environment.

A section at 1:25 gives a sense of how extraordinary the experience must be for so many.
