Welcome to planDisney, Janice!
Thanks for stopping by with your question about your upcoming trip to
Disney World. I’m glad you’re looking into details about how to enter the parks, you’re going to have the best time!
You’ll be happy to hear that the
Disney Skyliner refurbishment does not affect the use of
EPCOT’s International Gateway entrance. This location is perfect for Guests staying at a BoardWalk area Resort and for the Guests staying at the Resorts on the Skyliner route:
Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort,
Disney’s Riviera Resort,
Disney’s Pop Century Resort and Disney’s Art of Animation Resort.
If the Skyliner is closed for refurbishment during your stay, not to worry - Disney Bus Transportation will be available to Guests traveling to EPCOT. You can check with the Front Desk upon arrival for schedules but typically, these buses will follow the same schedule as the buses to the other parks and will run approximately every 20 minutes.
I recommend checking out the
My Disney Experience app and use the search feature to find transportation directions. You can put in any location and find out different ways to get there including an idea of how long it will take to arrive. My family used this feature frequently on our last trip so we could make our day more efficient.
I hope this information is helpful, Janice. I hope you have a magical Disney World vacation!
See ya real soon,
Candace
