Hi there, Kim! Thanks for coming to see us here at planDisney with your question.
With the new
Park Pass Reservation system, you have to enter the park where you have a reservation before you can enter any other park on that day. And, with park hopping unavailable until after 2pm, you would not be able to enter EPCOT to walk through to the
Skyliner on your Disney’s Hollywood Studios day.
I am also a huge Skyliner fan. On our recent trip, my husband, son, & I decided to “race” from Disney’s Hollywood Studios to EPCOT. I took the boat (that conveniently had just gotten to the dock), my husband walked, and my son rode the Skyliner. Believe it or not, we all arrived to the International Gateway at EPCOT within minutes of each other! I was very surprised, sure that my husband would win the race.
I think your best bet will be to plan to take the bus to Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Since you have park hopper tickets, you should plan to hop over to EPCOT later in the day to get some delicious treats at the
International Festival of the Holidays.
I hope this helps with your planning for your December trip. Please come back to us at planDisney with other questions you might have.
Happy Traveling,
Tracy
