Skyliner at Walt Disney World

7 July | Leslie Dinuzio

The Skyliner is the newest transportation system at Walt Disney World to help get guests from resort to park or vice versa. A typical question that is asked is which parks and resorts have the ability to utilize the Skyliner? How does it work? There are a couple different routes that the Skyliner can take which are outlined below. 

The main resort “hub” for the Skyliner is Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort. From this resort, guests can travel directly to the back (World Showcase) entrance of Epcot (or the Boardwalk area for dining!) or to Hollywood Studios. The other resorts that are serviced by the Skyliner are Disney’s Riviera Resort, Disney’s Art of Animation Resort, and Disney’s Pop Century Resort. Phew! Each of those resorts, however, will require a transfer of Skyliners depending on the park you wish to visit. 

From Riviera Resort, which has its own dedicated station, it’s a straight shot right to Epcot! Well, kind of. While it’s one Skyliner ride with no transfers, there is a fun 90 degree turn during your trip. 

The Skyliner station lies directly between Pop Century and Art of Animation Resorts and is shared between the two. From these resorts, the Skyliner travels directly to Caribbean Beach Resort. From there, guests will need to transfer Skyliners to either Epcot or Hollywood Studios. The signage is very well marked and fool-proof! There are also multiple Cast Members to assist with any questions. 

The Skyliner is a great mode of transportation. Guests can bring a scooter or stroller right on the gondola, with no need to fold up strollers. In addition, the views of the parks and resorts from up in the air are unique!  

I’d love to help your family plan a Disney trip to experience the Skyliner for yourself! I can be reached at Leslie@wishesfamilytravel.com.
