The Disney Skyliner is a gondola connecting EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios with several Disney Resorts. The friendly Cast Members who are operating this free form of Disney transportation have some things to tell you, but they won’t, so we will instead!
Hey, friends! We’re back with another DFB Video covering all the latest Disney news!

Staying hydrated during a Disney World vacation is incredibly important…but are you going about it the right way?
Cinderella Castle
Whether you want to or not, chances are you’ll walk several miles each day when visiting Disney World. Depending on when you visit, those steps you put in could be taking place in some serious heat. While you’re sweating through your shirt on the way to the next restaurant or ride, you’ll want to stay hydrated. That’s where Liquid I.V. comes in — a hydration multiplier powder mix that helps your body absorb water faster than plain water. This popular health enhancement can be a great aid, but do you really need it during your Disney days? Let’s break down what’s inside, the pros and cons, and whether it’s worth packing in your park bag.
If you’re traveling to Disney World and you’re planning to drive or rent a car at the airport, you’ll need to know about parking at Disney World hotels, as well as the theme parks.
Bring Disney to your car!
For example, you’ll need to know that you can’t drive directly to Magic Kingdom — instead, you have to park at the Transportation and Ticket Center and take the Monorail to Magic Kingdom. However, there are two unspoken parking rules that we see people breaking ALL the time, so we wanted to give you a heads up to make parking at Disney World a little easier and more convenient.
The EPCOT Food and Wine Festival is HERE, and we were there on day ONE, doing all things and EATING all the things. But there was one thing we hadn’t done…at least until now.
Breakfast!

While Walt Disney World may be one of the most fun travel destinations on earth, there are still some rules that need to be followed when visiting the “Most Magical Place on Earth!”
Walt Disney World
Since Disney has a large variety of different experiences, that means there are more rules to follow regarding theme parks, water parks, hotels, and transportation. I’ve been covering Disney’s theme parks for over six years, and even I forget these rules sometimes, so if you’re heading to Disney World for the first time or you haven’t been in a while, you need to be aware of the rules the resort is enforcing right now.
