A monorail could be fast and efficient, but Disney uses it as another way of managing (i.e., slowing) crowds. You wait and wait and wait in line for a monorail, and when Disney is ready, they send one to pick up the next group. Then you get off and walk to the next line.
There is no good reason for the Disney parks and hotels to be so far apart. But Disney controls the busses and boats, too. Even if you drive to the Magic Kingdom, you must park far away and take a monorail or ferry. At the end of the day you are exhausted and wonder why you only rode three rides.

A problem with a transportation solution is they can't put anything in that would bypass the many vendors who have paid thousands of dollars to be there. I'd like to see something that would get me from the main gate to the half mile away show center, but that won't happen. Even at Disney parks, once inside one, there's few transportation options to get around.
I just did a rough check on the Earth program, and see one side of the Magic Kingdom to the other is about 2,000 ft. Warbirds to Ultralights is about 8,000 ft.
Maybe it's a good place to have a demonstration project for the Boring Company
