STAR WARS-THEMED RESORT HOTEL

If you’re a massive Star Wars fan, a stay in Walt Disney World’s brand new Star Wars themed resort will be ideal for you.

NEW TRANSPORTATION OPTION – UBER STYLE MINNIE VANS

With Walt Disney World being roughly the same size as San Francisco (wow!), having more transportation options is a must to make getting around that bit easier. And, to help with this, Disney have announced that they will be offering uber-style Minnie Vans that will be available to take guests from point to point around Walt Disney World.

DISNEY SKYLINER

Speaking of transportation, Disney have also announced that they will be creating a new cable-car style ride, called the Disney Skyliner that will connect those at Disney’s Art of Animation, Pop Century and Caribbean Beach Resorts with other Walt Disney World locations including Hollywood Studios and the International Gateway at Epcot. Disney Skyline will get guests from A to B via air!

Disney have also announced that Epcot will be getting its very own Guardians of the Galaxy attraction and this brand new e-ticket attraction, which is to be based in Future World will be action–packed and a lot of fun for those who experience it.

NEW ENTERTAINMENT VENUE – MAGIC KINGDOM

Disney have also announced that Magic Kingdom will be getting a brand new live entertainment theatre that’s due to be based on the iconic Willis Theatre in 1920’s Kansas City. No doubt we’ll be hearing about lots of great events taking place here once it opens!
