Early this summer we got to see a new look for some of the Walt Disney World buses, as the sensational six: Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Goofy and Pluto hit the roadways.
As we roll on into September, even more buses featuring characters from some of the most beloved Disney films are joining the fleet. Now guests will be able to enjoy a ‘Hakuna Matata’ journey with Simba from Disney’s “The Lion King,” experience a whole lot of laughs with Mike and Sully from “Monsters, Inc.,” or see how far they’ll go with Moana – as these new designs full of character and fun hit the roads around Walt Disney World!
If that wasn’t enough… in the coming weeks, additional buses featuring characters from Disney’s “Frozen” and many more will be making their way to Walt Disney World as well.
And, similar to the buses featuring the sensational six, these buses have those new blue seats and laminate floors throughout. Some of the buses will also have USB charging ports conveniently located between seats, so you can re-charge your devices and not miss a moment of capturing and sharing your Disney vacation memories.
You can check out even more photos of the recent “The Lion King” bus here. Other additions to the Disney character buses include Dumbo as well as Rocket and Groot from “Guardians of the Galaxy”!
Can’t wait to see the new ones!
The Disney Skyliner station at Epcot’s International Gateway is looking mighty fine with a crisp new marquee installed onto the entrance archway. Personally, this Skyliner station is arguably the nicest, with its intricately patterned loading canopy and Art Nouveau style wrought iron design. Hollywood Studios’ station may have the glamorous neon, but this station borrows from the nearby France pavilion to lend it an elevated, artistic look. Take a look at the new marquee that was just installed:
The entrance will have two sides, one for regular entry and an additional entryway for handicap guests in wheelchairs, ECVs, or other assisted mobility devices. As a reminder, Skyliner Gondolas fitted to accommodate wheelchairs, ECVs, or other mobility devices will only seat a maximum of up to six guests. Mobility aids and strollers must fit within a 30” x 48” area for access.
The station is still well behind walls, far from its scheduled September 29th opening date.
The station itself looks gorgeous with intricate, lush grass patterns and sections of tile interwoven with grass. Once past the entrance archway, guests file through a queue to the main station where they board their character gondola.

“Hooray for Hollywood, and Skyliners! For weeks now, the Disney Skyliner sign at Disney’s Hollywood Studios has been haphazardly wrapped in plastic, and just today, it was unwrapped and revealed ahead of the Skyliner’s big debut later this month.
While we could pretty much make out the overall outline of the sign before, getting to see it unobstructed against the neon-studded pillars is nice. We didn’t notice that the sign itself had any kind of backlight, so we might lose sight of it once the sun goes down. Hopefully they embed some kind of lighting for it.
The side sign was also fully unveiled, with the top “Disney” cap revealed and the silver accents around it. This one will probably light up, too. These signs will beckon guests to take the Disney Skyliner to Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort, where guests can transfer to Disney’s Riviera Resort and on to Epcot, or to Disney’s Art of Animation Resort and Disney’s Pop Century Resort.”
