Coming up, the first gondola to be unwrapped on the Disney Skyliner Gondola system has
been uncovered in Walt Disney World giving us a first look at the design and ventilation,
on the line itself.
My name is Brayden, and this is your BREAKING Mickey Views News.
Today was a big day in Walt Disney World, the Flower and Garden Festival got underway
in Epcot with some huge crowds, maybe too many crowds even, friend of the show and fellow
creator Cory Meets World shared this video with us on-the ground at the Mexico Pavilion.
Just in time for Flower and Garden there is a new Coco themed mariachi show where you’ve
probably seen the mariachi perform outside of the Mexico pavilion in the past and you
can see here it created a major bottleneck in an area already prone to that, so very
interesting stuff there.
On the brighter side with the Flower and Garden festival today you got food, new topiaries,
such a cool environment and little extra amenities to enjoy during your trip to Epcot this time
of year.
And now on to the breaking news at this hour, the first Disney Skyliner gondola on the line
has gotten its aptly named Ghost Gondola wrap removed, where now you can see the completed
gondola on the line.
We first got word of this at 4PM today when a viewer of the show sent in this awesome
photo where you can clearly see the unwrapped gondola on the line, and we broke that first
photo online, and then shortly thereafter Blog Mickey, one of the best Disney news websites
out there, the best photos by far be sure to check them out, posted an article with
the first up-close photos of the gondola we had gotten cell phone photos of earlier in
the day that we had dropped on the Mickey Views Twitter and Instagram accounts where
we drop all the latest news.
Looking at this gondola you can notice right off the bat that Disney isn’t messing around
with the ventilation, there will be a lot of air going into that gondola keeping the
air fresh and the guests cool.
Let me know what you guys think.
The thing I’m actually more focused on now is the fact that, originally when Bob Chapek
unveiled the gondola at the Destination D event late last year, I thought that Disney
character window wrap was for those press photos, but as has been documented by Blog
Mickey, that same character window decal has been visible under the ghost wrap on some
of the cars, making you wonder, so are some of the gondola cars going to be regular windows
like this and others will have decals over them?
And why would they have decals in the first place?
I have 2 theories, one, some of the gondola cars having those deals over the window, which
only have tiny holes in them to let in sunlight, means that less sunlight will get inside the
cabin and they’ll be cooler.
My other theory is, this is a brand new system that will be providing guests never-before-seen
views of the resort and when you have those decals over the window it’ll make it impossible
for guests to get photos out of the gondola with their conventional phone cameras, which
maybe isn’t something seen as a negative on Disney’s end when they’re still trying
to theme parts of building that’ll be visible from the Skyliner that were never designed
to be visible, like the backside of the World Showcase buildings for instance.
Just a theory!
Let me know your thoughts on this first fully unwrapped Disney Skyliner gondola car.
That’s all for this episode of Mickey Views News, thank you so much for watching.
There will be a Magic Weekly this week.
I know we keep saying there’s going to be one and there hasn’t been.
Still trying to get back in the swing of things here especially with The Magic Weekly since
we haven’t done one in so long and with the new set and the new format.
I’m a little worried how it’s going to go with the questions quite honestly because
a big part of The Magic Weekly was the news and now that we do all these news videos throughout
the week it really makes you wonder what exactly The Magic Weekly will be like if it’s just
a questions show.
So leave some more questions for me for this week’s questions show in the comments below
for The Magic Weekly at the end of this week.
We also have a Disney earnings call tomorrow where there is rumored to be some sort of
big announcement, perhaps the opening date for Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland
which would be some big news.
I hope you enjoyed this episode of Mickey Views News, this is Brayden, Have a Magical
Day!
