    Can i ride the skyliner even if im not going to a theme park nor a resort gurst?

    Hey there, Isaul! I'm absolutely delighted to welcome you to planDisney and appreciate you bringing your question our way!

    The Disney Skyliner is hands down my favorite way to travel around Walt Disney World Resort, so I completely understand wanting to take a relaxing ride through the sky, even if you're not planning to spend the day in a theme park. The good news is that there are a couple of ways you can enjoy the Skyliner without staying at a Disney Resort.

    The easiest option is to park at Disney's Hollywood Studios. From there, you'll have access to the Skyliner and can enjoy a scenic ride while exploring the Disney Resort hotels along the route. If you're in the mood for a little resort hopping, you can ride to the International Gateway entrance of EPCOT and take some time to stroll around Disney's BoardWalk, Disney's Yacht Club Resort, and Disney's Beach Club Resort. When you're ready, hop back on the Skyliner and continue to Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort, Disney's Riviera Resort, and finally Disney's Art of Animation Resort and Disney's Pop Century Resort before making your way back to Hollywood Studios.

    Another great option is to make an Advanced Dining Reservation at one of the table-service restaurants located at a Skyliner Resort hotel. Guests with dining reservations are typically allowed to park at that resort for a limited time, giving you the perfect opportunity to enjoy a Skyliner ride before or after you dine. If you're looking for a recommendation, one of my family's favorites is Topolino's Terrace at Riviera Resort. Their character breakfast is my favorite on property, with delicious food, wonderful service, and some of the cutest character outfits you'll find anywhere at Walt Disney World!

    Isaul, I hope this has given you a few fun ideas for enjoying a bird's-eye view aboard the Disney Skyliner! If any other questions come up as you continue planning your visit, you're always welcome to glide back over to planDisney. 

    Magical Wishes,
