19 Reasons to Visit a Disney destination in 2019

The one constant at Disney destinations is change! In the early days of Disneyland® Park, Walt was famously quoted talking about the future of the park:

“Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world.”

Walt Disney

2019 will be no different for Disney destinations –  adding new and limited-time shows, parties, experiences, resorts, restaurants and lands across their properties! We’re excited about what’s to come in 2019 and wanted to share some of our favorites.

In no particular order, here’s our 19 Reasons to visit Disney destinations in 2019!

New Walt Disney World® Resort Hotel Accommodations

In July of 2019, the reimagining of Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort will end with the opening of the Gran Destino Tower. The tower will serve as the main entrance for the resort and will add 545 new guest rooms and a new rooftop table service dining option called Toledo – Tapas, Steak & Seafood. The existing 1,800+ rooms at the resort are already fully updated and are getting rave reviews from our guests! Also projected to open in Fall of 2019 is Disney’s Riviera Resort, inspired by the European grandeur Walt Disney experienced in his travels along the Mediterranean coastline.

Experience Storybook Dining at Artist Point

There’s a new Character Dining option at the Walt Disney World® Resort, and it may just be the “fairest one of all!” Storybook Dining at Artist Point is now open at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge each night for dinner. Characters encounters during the experience include Snow White, Dopey, Grumpy, and The Queen. Current pricing is $55 for adults and $33 for children ages 3-9 (plus tax and gratuity). The restaurant features a prix fixe menu from which each guest will receive one of each appetizer, their choice of entrée, and one of each dessert as well as their choice of non-alcoholic fountain beverage. Alcoholic and non-alcoholic specialty beverages are available but not included. This is bound to be a hit!

Disney Skyliner

Set to open in Fall of 2019, the Disney Skyliner will take guests up, up and away as they travel throughout the resort! The state-of-the-art gondola system will connect Disney’s Hollywood Studios® and Epcot® to Disney’s Art of Animation Resort, Disney’s Pop Century Resort, Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort, and Disney’s Riviera Resort which is still in construction.

Celebrate Mickey & Minnie's 90th!

Disney destinations around the World will shine the spotlight on Mickey & Minnie’s 90th with special celebrations unique to each location. At the Walt Disney World® Resort, Magic Kingdom® Park will host Mickey & Minnie’s Surprise Celebration from Jan. 18 to Sept. 30, 2019. You’ll find new food, merchandise and entertainment, including a new dance party with Mickey, Minnie and their friends, and a chance to meet Mickey and Minnie together in their new birthday outfits! At the Disneyland® Resort, Get Your Ears On – A Mickey and Minnie Celebration will bring new entertainment, food and merchandise to the resort. Starting Jan. 18, “Mickey’s Mix Magic” will light up the night at Disneyland® Park with all-new music, projections and lasers that set the scene for an epic dance party that takes over almost the entire park. Then on Jan. 25, fan-favorite Mickey’s Soundsational Parade returns to Disneyland® Park featuring an all-new float with Mickey himself! And on the high seas, Disney Cruise Line will launch Mickey & Minnie Surprise Party at Sea, an all-new high-energy deck party on the Disney Fantasy during Summer 2019 sailings.

30th Anniversary of Disney's Hollywood Studios®

To celebrate the 30th Anniversary of Disney’s Hollywood Studios® on May 1st, an all-new cinematic nighttime experience called “Wonderful World of Animation” is scheduled to debut. With the help of state-of-the-art projection technology, the show is said to take guests on a magical journey through more than 90 years of Disney animation, all beginning with Mickey!

Pixar Additions at Disney's Hollywood Studios®

Pixar pals are doing their part to ensure the 30th Anniversary of Disney’s Hollywood Studios® will be blockbuster! Beginning Jan. 18, Pixar Place will transform into a Municiberg city block from Pixar’s Incredibles films giving guests a chance to meet Edna Mode and celebrate the heroic deeds of Mr. Incredible, Mrs. Incredible and Frozone during a party featuring lively music, dancing, interactive games and lots more Super fun. Also starting Jan. 18, Mike and Sulley from Pixar’s Monsters, Inc return to Disney’s Hollywood Studios® inside Walt Disney Presents. And in spring 2019, a new show experience called Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy will speed into the park. This untold story of Lightning McQueen … as told by Lightning McQueen will welcome guests to the world of Pixar’s Cars films and lets them learn from his years of experience on the track.

Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway

Set to open in fall 2019 at Disney’s Hollywood Studios®, Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway is an all-new attraction using breakthrough technology to transform a two-dimensional cartoon into an amazing real-world experience. This will be the first-ever ride-through attraction themed to Mickey Mouse!

Celebrate 25 Years of 'The Lion King'

Each day at Disney’s Animal Kingdom® Theme Park from Jan. 18 to Sep. 30, join the fun at the “Hakuna Matata Time Dance Party.” Timon and Rafiki will engage everyone in entertaining dances and games inspired by “The Lion King,” as wildly talented musicians provide the perfect soundtrack in a World Beat style.

Experience the Festivals of Epcot®

Festive fun returns to Epcot® throughout 2019, beginning with the Epcot® International Festival of the Arts, Jan. 18-Feb. 25, followed by the Epcot® International Flower & Garden Festival, returning Mar. 6-Jun. 3.

Stay tuned for details on the 2019 Epcot® International Flower & Garden Festival and the 2019 Epcot® International Festival of the Holidays.

Bid Farewell to IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth

After nearly 20 years of delighting Epcot® guests, IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth will be ending in the second half of 2019 to make way for an all-new nighttime spectacular. Because that new show isn’t planned to debut until 2020, there will be a limited-time experience called Epcot® Forever that will start in fall 2019. Set to classic Epcot® tunes, the show begins with a spark of imagination that quickly grows into an epic spectacle of fireworks, music, lighting, lasers, and choreographed, special effects kites.

Enjoy New Additions at Disney Springs™

The offerings at Disney Springs™ in the Walt Disney World® Resort are constantly changing to ensure it remains a one-of-a-kind retail, dining and entertainment district. In summer of 2019, City Works Eatery & Pour House will open offering a massive, constantly rotating draft selection of local, regional, and global craft brews complemented by classic American cuisine with chef-driven twists.

In 2019, additional stories and characters of Disney•Pixar films will come to life when Pixar Pier welcomes two additional attractions to complete the land: Inside Out Emotional Whirlwind and Jessie’s Critter Carousel!

New Dining Options in Downtown Disney® District

Adventures by Disney® Danube River Cruise

 

By Magic Maker® Allie Willits

I recently had the amazing opportunity to travel on an Adventures by Disney®  Danube River Cruise with my 7-year-old daughter and my parents to celebrate my mother’s 70th birthday. This was the IDEAL way to visit the historical cities throughout Hungary, Austria and Germany for all of us! Imagine only having to unpack once, in a luxury room, on an incredible river ship; no lugging luggage on and off busses, trains and planes, no having to entertain kids on multiple train, bus or plane rides and receiving top of the line customer service and gourmet food and beverages at every meal. It truly was a hassle free, active and luxury vacation full of history, architecture, fun and laughs!

We flew from the USA to Budapest, Hungary to embark on the luxurious AmaViola River Cruise Ship and we were immediately greeted by one of four Disney-trained Adventure Guides. Paola, Dean, Danny and Stephanie were the Adventure Guides on our adventure (we had 93 guests onboard).  I think of them as a mix of tour guide, entertainer, concierge, director of fun, keeper of children, storyteller and most of all friend. They truly made this trip special, they set up interactive, engaging, hands on shore excursions that were fun for all ages from youngest (5 years old on our cruise) to the grandparents on board. While the adults had private tours of castles and palaces by superb storytellers, our Adventure Guides took the kids on their own tours to play dress up, make cookies and play all while learning the history of some amazing places. Nightly entertainment onboard the AmaViola in the lovely lounge is also hosted by our Adventure Guides – we sang karaoke, danced, laughed and more. My daughter cried when we hugged our Adventure Guides goodbye at the end of the vacation – she, and all of us felt like they were family!

We visited cities each day along the Danube river and had options for excursions like bike rides along the river, walking tours of cities along cobblestone streets, archery at a medieval castle, visiting the Salt Mines, engaging on a Sound of Music tour, several castle and palace tours, food and wine tastings at a family owned apricot farm and winery and more. There is also the option to simply enjoy the port visits on your own – the AmaViola staff provided maps and gave suggestions for each stop!

Onboard the AmaViola, lunch and dinner each day was a foodie’s delight! Gourmet meals, served by the most attentive and friendly servers with choices galore including local wines (different each day) and draft beer. There’s even the option of dining at the Chef’s Table (no extra cost) for a 7 course, wine pairing meal.  While the adults dine in the gorgeous dining room for dinner, the kids have the option of dining in the lounge on a kids buffet with entertainment and the Adventure Guides. Breakfast was also delicious with an option of a buffet or a la carte and even mimosas! Daily “tea” was served in the lounge with appetizers, fresh fruit, cakes and cookies. Many “extra” fun food events were also included like ice cream parties, cocktail receptions, Palinka (Hungarian Schnapps) tastings, a private Oktoberfest celebration and more.

Talking with the other guests on our final day as we traveled to the beautiful city of Munich, Germany, everybody agreed that it was their favorite family vacation ever (and many of the guests have traveled extensively and all over the world). I agree, it was absolutely an incredible experience. I can’t wait to try a Christmas Market  river cruise and would love to sail the Rhine river with Adventures by Disney®. My daughter still talks about the castles and palaces she visited along with our Adventure Guides on a daily basis – and we’ve been home a month!

They are specials running NOW for these Adventures by Disney® Danube River Cruises!! Don’t miss this opportunity, ask your Magic Maker® for more information!

By Magic Maker® Melissa Ludwig

Are you ready to experience the ultimate Disney Destination Getaway? Then you are ready for a Disney Land & Sea Vacation! When most people are getting ready to plan a Disney Vacation, they choose one destination, such as Walt Disney World® Resort, or a Disney Cruise Line getaway. Why not combine them for the supreme in relaxation and fun?

Here are some of the options that you could consider for a Disney Land & Sea Vacation:

–Walt Disney World® Resort and a 3, 4 or 5-night Bahamian Disney Cruise Line vacation
–Walt Disney World® Resort and a 5-night Western Caribbean Disney Cruise Line vacation

…And more! The possibilities are numerous and there is a Disney Land & Sea Vacation to fit a wide range of budgets.

Last year, my husband and I chose a Disney Land & Sea Vacation for our honeymoon, and it was the perfect selection. I had wanted to go to Walt Disney World® Resort, and he was hoping to try a cruise, as he had never been on one before. So, we hopped on a plane to Orlando, spent two full days at Walt Disney World® Resort, transferred from Orlando to Port Canaveral on a Disney Cruise Line charter bus, and then enjoyed a 3-night Bahamian cruise including port stops at Nassau (home of one of the Atlantis Resorts) and Disney Destination’s own Castaway Cay. We could not have had a better time…we each got what we wanted from our honeymoon, and created countless memories to last a lifetime.
