8:00pm, at the gate and ready to depart LAX for another Orlando trip.
Nearby was this display.
Turns out it was a Disney+ Advertisement
10:43pm, boarded and ready to go.
11:07pm we are taking flight.

The digital signage is in the holiday spirit.
The Orlando International Christmas Tree
The Magic of Disney store has opened since my last visit. It includes a large display wall.
It was 6:37am and not open yet..
7:00am -> All quiet as we near the Magical Express area (after stopping for a quick bite to eat in the food court)
Hmm.. that seems hard to believe at this hour.
And with this big crowd.
7:11am our bus arrives and we are walking out to board.
7:15am on the road and leaving the airport. We had the bus to ourselves.
7:36am almost to Walt Disney World.
7:43am - Arriving at the Boardwalk.
8:16am - Checked in, changed clothes and checked carry ons.. now en route to Disney's Hollywood Studios.
Choose to walk since it was a nice morning. A Friendship boat returning from the park.
Passing by the Disney Skyliner turn in the Boardwalk parking lot.
Some work going on beyond the Friendship dock at the studios. Hard to tell what though.
Passing by the Disney Skyliner station where all appeared to be flowing smoothly this morning.
8:37am - Made it onto Hollywood Blvd. The rest of my group is at the ticket window exchanging AP vouchers still.
Signs were being put up saying all Rise of the Resistance Boarding Groups are gone for the day
I checked the app and it would still let me join a group so I did, group 116. The rest of my group arrived a few minutes later and by that time the group was full and no more boarding passes were available.
8:47am - We decided to head out of the park and go for a Skyliner Ride since none of us had experienced it yet.
8:49am entering the queue.
8:51am - taking flight. We had to wait a couple gondolas because I wanted one without the wrap on it.
Passing by the bus stop area.
Looking back at the station as we move away.
Epcot in the distance. That is our destination.
The wrapped ones look great to pass by but onboard the views are really obstructed from what I have seen.
The first leg of the trip is almost over. You have to transfer at the Caribbean Beach Resort.
8:56am - Transferring (7 minutes since entering queue at studios)
To the right is the Pop Century/Art of Animation line.
Signs to direct you around.
Restrooms are centrally located if needed.
Our transfer was delayed by a chatty cast member, who turned out to be a DVC salesperson..
9:06am we are back in the air and flying over the Caribbean Beach Resort. Ahead is the Riviera Resort that opens in less than a week.
Disney's Riviera Resort opening on Monday December 16th
Epcot in the distance.
The large crane is backstage by the marina.
Approaching the Riviera Resort Station. Here you can stay on board, no need to transfer.
Back in the air again and crossing Buena Vista Drive.
The large fire station along Buena Vista Drive.
Traveling along Buena Vista Drive.
At the Boardwalk turn, no station here.. it is an automated turn.
Looking back.
Plenty of warnings on the doors.
Epcot Resorts Blvd is closed beyond the Boardwalk (and Beach Club on the other side) due to bridge work.
Passing by France at Epcot World Showcase. The sun was in a bad spot and a lot of glare this morning.
This appears to be a new restroom building.
Looking back toward the new attraction.
The facade for the Ratatouille attraction that opens in 2020.
Working on the back of the France facades now that this will become an onstage area.
Security lines at the International Gateway.
Arriving at the International Gateway station.
9:18am Exiting the Disney Skyliner. So just under 30 minutes from the Studios this morning. We lost about 5 minutes at the Transfer station due to the CM talking to us.
New ticket windows at the International Gateway are now part of the main building.
While in flight, but well after leaving the studios received a push alert from the WDW App. It was welcoming me to the Studios. I received this about the time we were at the Riviera Station.
