Ever since the launch of Disney+, the team at KelownaNow has been hard at work consuming all the Baby Yoda content and reminiscing of Pride Rock, Neverland and galaxies far, far away.
Inspiring us to wonder, how stellar would it be to live out a real-life Disney+ experience?
We teamed up with YLW Kelowna International Airport, who currently has connecting flights to Orlando, Florida, to show off some of the cool rides and attractions at Walt Disney World Resort.
From out of the vault to a galaxy far, far away, all of your favourite characters are here. Continue scrolling to see some of the cool images and info from the four amazing parks of Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida.
Start with Hollywood
No, not 'that' Hollywood, this one is even more cinematic! You can visit Hollywood in Orlando at Disney's Hollywood Studios, it's just one of the four amazing parks at Walt Disney World Resort. So before you plan your trip through memory lane and fly away to the most magical place on earth, watch this exciting video below!
Also located in Disney's Hollywood Studios are live on stage shows where you can step into the vault and be their guest.
You're cordially invited to join Belle and Beast at their beautifully decorated live on-stage event.
Swirling with colourful costumes, whimsical dancing and all of your favourite classic songs, this stage show will encourage you to become part of the ballroom and truly live out your own Disney+ experience.
Step into a galaxy far, far away
Located at Disney's Hollywood Studios, Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge allows you to live your own space adventure.
Will you choose to be pure and genuine or will the dark side become too tempting to avoid?
At this all-new landscape in Orlando, you can train like a Jedi or team up to join the fighting forces of the rebels on the Rise of the Resistance.
Take a ride on the Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run. This attraction is located in Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge and you can take on your own Solo mission. That's right, you can join the crew of the Millennium Falcon!
This interactive smuggling mission will allow you to live out a real-life Disney+ experience, and who knows, maybe on your flight back to the YLW Kelowna International Airport, you'll have a chance to talk to one of the airline pilots about flying.
After you've experienced the exhilaration of travelling at light speed, your little ones can join Jedi Training: Trials of the Temple.
We can't guarantee they'll learn the acrobatic ability of the Jedi, but young Padawans will wield a lightsaber and participate in the action.
The age group for Jedi training is 4 to 12, so your kids can experience the excitement and fun of Star Wars while they challenge the dark side.
If you're really feeling adventurous, get the team at YLW Kelowna International Airport to help connect you to the all-new United Airlines Star Wars-themed airplane! Check out their imaginative promo below.
Once upon a time
The Magic Kingdom features the infamous Splash Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and Space Mountain, but it also has some of the delightful characters from out of the vault.
Take in the magic of many of the other stage shows and experiences like the Magic Carpets of Aladdin, Peter Pan in Fantasyland or have a Mad Tea Party with Alice in Wonderland.
This experience is fun and exciting for all, but for those parents who grew up with the magic of Disney, this is a great way to pass along something special with your children.
Imagination comes to life with Pixar
At Toy Story Land at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, you can meet Woody, march to the beat of your own drum with the Green Army Drum Corp and take a ride on Slinky Dog Dash.
On the Slinky Dog Dash, the family-friendly coaster takes its twists, turns and springs you past giant toys across an imaginative space, as if you're whirling through your own toy box.
With other Pixar adventures like meeting Mike & Sulley or stepping into Bruce’s Shark World, your trip from Kelowna to Orlando will bring you right into Pixar Place where you and your family can live your very own Disney+ experience.
Animal Kingdom
Although there isn't a National Geographic land at Walt Disney Land Resort — which is too bad because wouldn’t it be fun to talk to Jeff Goldblum or experience the Mars Rover through VR?
However, you can experience the magic of nature at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park, this scenic park has African lions, elephants, sharks, along with shows to celebrate the Lion King, join Donald Duck and your pals in DinoLand U.S.A or connect into Avatar to experience the world of Pandora from the back of a mountain banshee.
Travel the World at Epcot — World’s Showcase Pavillion
Epcot features world attractions that fit into the Disney+ experience so you can try food from all over the world, see live Broadway-style shows and visit your favourite Disney princesses in their native countries.
Will you see Belle in France, Mulan in China or Snow White in Germany?
