Recently we shared, Bob Chapek (Chairman of Disney Parks, Experiences & Consuer Products) confirmed the Disney Skyliner transportation system will open Fall 2019 for guests. Today, we have a first look at the Gondolas.
Transportation by gondolas will give guests incredible views of Disney World, including never before seen angles of Epcot’s World Showcase.
The Disney Skyliner will connect Epcot and Hollywood Studios from Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort, Disney’s Pop Century, Disney’s Art of Animation and upcoming Disney’s Riveria Resort. Guests will ride in a gondola featuring favorite Disney Characters from movies & attractions. Each cabin can hold up to 8 Adults. The gondola will be able to accommodate wheelchairs & strollers.
The hub of the Skyline System will be located at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort (where 3 lines intersect). The theming will be inspired by already existing village marketplaces of the resort. The hub will act as a transfer station between gondola routes. The hub (at Caribbean Beach Resort) will also feature a new restaurant.

Part of why I love Disney World is it contains much more than just rides. While the attractions are amazing, guests can experience much more such as a Broadway style show (Beauty and the Beast live on stage & more) and museums. One museum in Disney World gets the title of the cutest museum on property. Guests can visit the Bijutsu-kan Gallery in the Japan Pavilion of Epcot’s World Showcase to see the Kawaii museum – Kawaii: Japan’s Cute Culture.
1. The Bijutsu-kan Gallery opened in October 2015 for guests at the Japan Pavilion in Epcot’s World Showcase.
2. Here guests can learn about Kawaii, Japan’s “Cute Culture” from origin through evolution.
3. The large statue is a Melty-Go-Round statue, in the shape of a Harajuku girl. This piece was created by a Japanese artist & designer named Sebastian Masuda. The statue is filled with colorful small toys, jewelry and trinkets from his travels.
4. What is Kawaii? Kawaii means loveable or cute and represents the obsession with all things such. Perhaps the most famous representative of Kawaii is Hello Kitty by Sanrio.
5. Kawaii (käwīˌē) is pronounced just like the U.S. State, Hawai’i.
6. Learn the History of kawaii design, see historical artifacts and how kawaii has become a means of expression in fashion, housewares and more.
7. View a replica of a modern Tokyo apartment on display, filled with Kawaii items. It is a fun scavenger hunt to see kawaii used in everyday life.

A runDisney event is more than just a race, its a Disney experience. Learn these 7 RunDisney Tips to know before you go.
In the couple of days leading up to your race be sure to drink plenty of water to hydrate before. Also avoid alcohol, as it is dehydrating, as are salty foods. Avoid heavy meals before your race day. Rest and remaining positive leading up to your race also go a long way.
The runDisney Health & Fitness Expo at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex is where runners can pick up their bibs and more. This is your race headquarters. This is also where runners can purchase exclusive event merchandise. Take time to browse all the exhibitors.
Guests staying at a Walt Disney World Resort, Swan Or Dolphin Resorts or Shades of Green will have no worries getting to their race. Complimentary runDisney transporation is prvided for guests staying at mentioned locations to all events, and from all events as well.
Do not overlook your race day warm up. For ultimate performance, practice your warm up 45 minutes prior to race start time.
RunDisney recommends the following:
Bring your cheering section with you, as spectators are invited to watch runners at the start and finish lines at each event. This way friends and family can participate as well.
Consider A chEAR Squad Package for Spectators ($65):
Crossing the finish line is such an amazing feeling! However your body deserves a cool down. Make sure to walk for at least 1/2 a mile after completion, this will avoid cramping. Hydration is still important, even after the race. Refuel your body with an appropriate snack after cooling down.
Disney World Marathons have medals for race completers. These vary by event, each event will have a unique theme with themed medals. Take a few moments to capture photos with your medals in front of Disney icons.
Thanks, Sara

An expansion at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort has previously been announced, learn past details on this project. This includes the addition of a brand new 15-story tower, becoming the new main entry point of the Resort and adding 545 rooms for guests (includes 50 suites). Now we know the name of this tower to be: the Gran Destino Tower. We also know, the tower will be completed in July 2019. Then guests will be able to walk into the new 2-story lobby and stay at the Gran Destino Tower.
The top of the new Gran Destino Tower will also feature a new restaurant offering guests incredible views of Disney World. Furthermore, a second eatery is planned for the island in the middle of the Resort’s Lake (Lake Dorado), with access for guests by walkways over the water.
Guests can also look forward to fully updated existing Resort rooms with new lighting, fixtures and furniture. Much of the Resort updates will be inspired by classic Spanish influences. A fresh color palette will blend the recently updated and new areas.
