If you are like me, and you're both a huge Star Wars and Walt Disney World fan, the anticipation of the opening of the new Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge land at Disney's Hollywood Studios can sometimes be a bit overwhelming.  If you are wondering how the progress is coming along, check out this recent aerial view of the construction site.  Also interesting is that you get a very good view of the new Toy Story Land scheduled to open this summer.  You can see from this aerial view that the combination of these two new lands within Hollywood Studios is literally going to double the park size.  While many people currently consider Hollywood Studios a 1/2 day park, these additionals will put Hollywood Studios on the must visit list for any Orlando tourist.

If you do enjoy Star Wars, you will love our Star Wars themed game room at our Encore Resort at Reunion vacation home.  Your travel time from our home will be way less than 12 parsecs to Walt Disney World and, when you return from a fun day at the parks, you have the advantage of enjoying your own private pool with spa, games room and cinema theater room.  And you get a place where the whole family can be under one roof in our 6 bedroom all ensuite home - you can't go wrong.  Let us know if we can help you make your Orlando vacation home plans come true.

I think I have found the best Walt Disney World Transportation map, thanks to Reddit and Arthur at www.wdwfocus.com/map.  This map not only shows all forms of transportation (monorails, boats, trains, buses, walking and even the new gondola being built), but is does so in an easy to read subway map style format.  If you are relying on Walt Disney World transportation to get you from park to park or even within a park, this handy map will be your best friend.  This will be a great tool for anybody staying at our Orlando Encore Resort at Reunion vacation home who is planning to take advantage of the daily free bus shuttle service from the resort community to Walt Disney World.  The bus will take you to the Transportation and Ticket Center located at Magic Kingdom.  From there, take the monorail to Magic Kingdom or Epcot, or board a bus to Animal Kingdom or Hollywood Studios.  With this map in your pocket, you're set!
