Essential Experiences to Have at Walt Disney World
1. Hop Around On the Skyliner
Walt Disney World has always traveled high in the sky with the monorail, but now there is a new opportunity to get you around the property. The Skyliner is reminiscent of the old Skyway ride at the Magic Kingdom but travels between many hotels, Epcot, and Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
This fast, tree-top terraced ride offers a 360-degree view of Walt Disney World and will become your next favourite mode of transportation.
2. Drink Around the World
Drinking at Disney World may seem like an unexpected adventure, but at Epcot, there are so many spirits and libations to try. Start out at the Mexico Pavilion for a cool margarita before heading to the Italy Pavilion for some Limoncello and the Japan Pavilion for some sake.
End at the Rose and Crown Pub in the UK Pavilion for a pint of beer. There are so many kinds to try, and during the festival seasons–like Flower and Garden Festival in the spring and Food and Wine in the fall–there are plenty to fit the season.
3. Watch Fantastic Fireworks
Walt Disney World is known for many things, but nothing more glamorous than its various fireworks displays. Be amazed by the colourful spectacles like Happily Ever After at the Magic Kingdom, Epcot Forever in the center of Epcot’s World Showcase, and Fantasmic! and Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.Â
4. Shop at Disney Springs
Disney Springs is the heart of all things shopping at Walt Disney World. With cools shops like Lilly Pulitzer and Disney Style, experiences like the NBA Experience, and restaurants and bars like STK and The Boathouse, there are so many places to explore.Â
