Hi Amy!
Welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel.
The brand new
Disney Skyliner opened only recently, and I cannot wait to try this out during my next trip to Walt Disney World Resort. It offers four Disney Resort hotels (including
Disney's Riviera Resort, opening in December this year) an alternative option of transport to
Epcot and Disney's Hollywood Studios. The Skyliners are a spectacular sight from the ground, and when sitting inside them you will have a wonderful bird's eye view as you travel along. The Epcot station is to be found at the International Gateway entrance, located between the France and United Kingdom pavilions of World Showcase. Even though
Disney's Yacht Club Resort does not have its own Skyliner station, it is within easy walking distance of Epcot's International Gateway, as are Disney's Beach Club Resort and Disney's BoardWalk.
At the present time, the Disney Skyliner is temporarily closed, but the usual operating hours will be in line with all other Disney Transport: they will start operating around 45 minutes prior to park opening times, and will continue to run for 2 hours after park closing. This includes Extra Magic Hours. Please keep in mind that the Skyliner may be halted due to inclement weather, so consider your other transport options as a backup plan.
The
Disney Skyliner map may help you plan your route.
Please come back and visit us if you have any further questions. We will be happy to help you plan your magical vacation to Walt Disney World Resort.
