Welcome to planDisney, Pam! I’m so excited to chat with a fellow
Disney Skyliner fan! For my family, it always feels like our Disney holiday truly begins once we’re gliding above the treetops in those magical gondolas.
It sounds like you’re a seasoned Disney adventurer, and you’re absolutely right - keeping the Skyliner in tip-top shape means it occasionally closes for a bit of TLC. While there hasn’t been any official word on 2025 Skyliner maintenance dates yet, it’s historically taken place in January. Based on past years, the closures have ranged from as early as the 16th to as late as the 29th of January. I’d suggest keeping an eye on the Disney website for updates, as announcements should be coming soon.
I completely understand how important the Skyliner is when deciding where to stay. It’s a big draw for certain
resorts! But don’t worry, if you do visit during a closure, alternative transportation is always provided. And sometimes, even during normal operation, weather can cause the Skyliner to temporarily pause, with
buses stepping in to keep things running smoothly.
I hope this helps plan your adventure to the Most Magical Place on Earth, Pam! Do pop by
planDisney again anytime you have more questions.
Magical wishes for smooth travels, however you glide,
Louise
