The Disney Skyliner gondola system has been in testing for some time now in preparation for carrying guests this fall. For the most part, the gondolas have been under wraps while in testing. Though, in fact, earlier this week we shared our first peek at an uncovered gondola cabin featuring classic Disney characters. (Find out who here!). But TODAY?
Well, there’s a LOT more than ONE gondola cabin uncovered today!
A hallmark of the gondola cabins is that Disney characters will be featured in the design on many of them. And today we’re taking a look at SEVERAL that are flying the friendly skies over Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
As you can see, beloved characters from Disney films both classic and new are celebrated and represented. From Peter Pan and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs…
… to Coco, Toy Story, and Moana!
Oh, and have you heard of this little known film franchise called Star Wars 😉 ? Because check out CHEWIE!!!
AND ALL THE PORGS!!!!! They’re joined by the ever faithful R2-D2 and C-3PO on the side.
But it’s not just films that are represented. Disney attractions get some love from the gondolas, too.
And The Haunted Mansion cabin is the one I’ve been DYING to see….
Who says you have to decide between a Doom Buggy or gondola cabin? Not these guys… I mean, ghosts!
Even still, there are SO many more to see…
Every time one passes and I think I’ve found a favorite…
… Then another comes along and I just can’t choose. I mean, SCROOGE McDUCK!! How great does this get?!
Now, we always say “Look up!” when you’re in Disney World, because you never know what kind of details you might notice…
… but I don’t know if it’s ever been more true since the Disney Skyliner gondolas have been uncovered!
