I am actually here with my family, sheltering inside the Disney resort. I am not experienced in this kind of thing being from Ohio. Praying for safety for all and grateful for everyone taking care of each other !!! 🙏 The resorts do a great job with activities. Everyone’s being kind and supportive-cast members and guests. Be safe!! 🌦️

Attached are some pictures of how they prepared. Walmart was closed all day and they used the parking lot for repair trucks (we believe electricity); some schools are closed to provide emergency shelter.

Do you remember - the 21st night of September?

That is one of the songs in Epcot's reverse-launch roller coaster "Guardians of the Galaxy - Cosmic Rewind"! Side note - It has a 42" height requirement AND Terry Crews! You don't know which song will play during your ride until you start launching backwards!

- "September" by Earth Wind and Fire
- "Disco Inferno" by The Trammps
- "Conga" by Gloria Estefan
- "I Ran" by A Flock of Seagulls
- "One Way or Another" by Blondie
- "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" by Tears for Fears

If you've ridden this ride - which song did you get?

Fun, practical, and free - take a ride on Disney’s aerial gondola : The Skyliner!

- Opened in Disney as another means of transportation in 2019.
- The Skyliner connects 4 resorts (Riviera, Art of Animation, Pop Century, and Caribbean Beach), and 2 parks (Epcot and Hollywood Studios).
- The cars are plain but brightly colored, or are wrapped in characters like Moana, Toy Story, and Guardians of the Galaxy!
- While they don’t have air conditioning, they have a ‘passive ventilation system’ and is very comfortable while moving - which is almost continuous!
- Depending on where you start - the ride duration is around 5-15 min. Smooth sailing!!
- They can hold up to 10 guests, or 6 if there is a wheelchair or stroller.
- You can usually get a car to yourself and your immediate party!
- Currently, there are no closures for refurbishments scheduled in the future!
- A pro tip is to apply sunscreen on the kids as they ride their “first ride of the day” - they are often too excited and distracted to notice and you’re saving time!
