Welcome to planDisney, Jamie! Taking a scenic ride on the
Disney Skyliner is one of my favorite ways to soak up a little extra Disney magic without needing a park ticket. And you'll be happy to hear there's a totally free and easy way to do it!
Since you mentioned you're not buying park tickets, you can skip the theme park parking lots and just head to
Disney Springs, where parking is completely free. Once you're there, just hop on a Disney bus to one of the Skyliner resorts. I recommend
Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort, since it's the main hub of the Skyliner system.
Once you arrive at the resort, you can board the Skyliner right from there and enjoy a relaxing ride. The views are amazing, and you'll get to glide over Hourglass Lake, pass through the
Riviera Resort, and even see into EPCOT and Hollywood Studios, no ticket required, just enjoy the ride!
When you're ready to head back, simply hop on the bus back to Disney Springs. Easy, fun, and totally ticket-free!
I hope this answers your question, Jamie, and please let us know if there's anything else we can do to help you plan your magical vacation.
