A new series is coming to Disney+ on July 16 that will give us Disney fans a peek ‘behind the curtain’ of the most beloved attractions and destinations at Disney Parks and Resorts around the world, from Jungle Cruise to “it’s a small world” to the Haunted Mansion to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. This highly anticipated series recently received a little extra attention from Dwayne Johnson (aka “The Rock”, aka “Skipper Frank”).
As shared via therock on Instagram: “Cool series alert. Take a moment now to think about your FAVORITE RIDES when you and family visited the DISNEY PARKS around the world.
