Tunnel at Disney’s Riviera Resort Features 2 Spectacular Mosaic Murals
If you noticed the connection to flight in both murals, you have a keen sense of storytelling. Both of the mosaics – Rapunzel’s floating lantern scene and Peter Pan soaring over the London sky – celebrate flight.
So it’s no coincidence that this tunnel walkway leads to the Disney Skyliner station at Disney’s Riviera Resort, where you can step aboard and glide across the sky by aerial gondola to destinations across Walt Disney World Resort.
