DISNEY SKYLINER OPENS SEPT. 29, 2019

On September 29, Disney Skyliner gondolas will officially begin transporting guests around Walt Disney World Resort.  This state of the art transportation system offers a new way to experience the resort with amazing views only available from the sky.  Disney Skyliner connects Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Epcot to four resort hotels.  Disney’s Art of Animation Resort, Disney’s Pop Century Resort, Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort and the new Disney’s Riviera Resort scheduled to open in December 2019.

Some Disney Skyliner cabins feature graphics based on Disney films, attractions and characters, including Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Pluto, Chip & Dale, Coco, Goofy, Finding Dory, Haunted Mansion, Monsters Inc, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Ratatouille.

STAR WARS: RISE OF THE RESISTANCE SCHEDULES OPENING

Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance will be opening December 5, 2019 at Walt Disney World Resort. If this date sounds familiar, that’s because it is Walt Disney’s birthday. What better way to honor the ultimate storyteller than by introducing the most immersive and advanced attraction ever imagined in a Disney Park.

When it opens, Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance will blur the lines between fantasy and reality and will put Guests in the middle of a climactic battle between the First Order and the Resistance. Guests will be recruited to join Rey and General Organa at a secret base. Along the way, they will be captured by a First Order Star Destroyer. With the help of some heroes of the Resistance, they break out and must escape the Star Destroyer, protect the secret base, and stay one step ahead of Kylo Ren.

As soon as work is completed at Walt Disney World, they will be heading back to California and completing the same attraction at Disneyland Resort where Stars Wars: Rise of the Resistance is scheduled to open on January 17, 2020.
