I was invited by Disney to D23 Expo. All opinions shared are my own.
There is nothing quite like the magic of staying on property at Walt Disney World Resorts. I bet it must be the same at Disneyland. The extra magic hours, the monorail hotel stops, and never leaving the immersive magic are about to get new options and perks that will enhance further our visits. Get all the Disney Parks Transportation and Lodging News out of D23 Expo right here.

Transportation
As a visionary interested in progress and making things better for the way we live Walt Disney was always interested in new ways of transportation. The monorail, my little one’s favorite right for 4 years straight….is one of the many examples of Mr. Disney’s interest in massive transportation. Now here is the new to come to travel around the Disney properties in Orlando:
Minnie van service: using an app, guests will be driven anywhere they want by a cast member starting at the end of July.

Disney Cruise
Because a Disney cruise is both transportation and magic floating in the oceans I have to share here that not tow, but 3 new ships are added to the fleet! In addition to that, a new Beauty and the Beast show will be featured aboard the Disney Magic starting this November!

As a huge FanGirl, this news has to be shared. For a superhero hotel stay, you should look over Disney Paris to experience all things Avengers at the Hotel New York: The Art of Marvel. I don’t have more details to share on this property, but oh-lala just tell me the grand opening date and I might work my schedule around s’il vous plait 🙂

It really doesn’t take much of a push to get me packing for Walt Disney World Resort. Triple enticing is the idea of a luxury Galactic experience and brushing my head against a pillow that has anything to do with Marvel. Of course, my diva self will indulge in the Minnie Van, no doubt about it 🙂 How about you, do any of this hotels make you want to be able to make reservations right away?
