For me, the bridge isn't a laziness issue it's a convenience issue. Will I walk around?...Of course I will, but the bridge just made it much easier and also allowed for a quick stroll watching the turtles in the river. I will wait to pass judgement about the bridge until the section is open and we give it a go. I can see why people would be upset without it because the pathways in the new section don't look to be any wider than the Golden Kingdom, which when it was full, it was very hard to get through. For now, let's have faith that the park knows what it's doing.
