Hi Ami-Beth! Thanks for bringing your question to planDisney.
One of the reasons I love staying at
Disney's Pop Century Resort is easy access to the
Disney Skyliner. The Skyliner makes it so quick and easy to get to
Disney's Hollywood Studios and EPCOT. We are cut from the same cloth -- my family and I always "rope drop" when visiting the theme parks. We feel like our day goes smoother when we can experience a few attractions first thing in the morning. This way we can take a leisurely afternoon break without feeling like we are missing out on too much park time.
During the month of December, both the Pop Century/Art of Animation line and the Disney's Hollywood Studios line of the Disney Skyliner are scheduled to begin operating at 7:00 am, (weather permitting). Guests do form a line for the Disney Skyliner in the morning, so if you would like to be among the first Guests to arrive at Disney's Hollywood Studios, I recommend heading to the Skyliner by around 6:45 am. If you are not quite that much of an early bird, no worries -- the Skyliner can move Guests efficiently and the line to board soon dissipates.
Be sure to take time to admire all the retro holiday decor at Disney's Hollywood Studios. With the classic Christmas tunes playing, I feel like I have stepped right into a holiday movie! After dark, check out
Sunset Seasons Greetings.
Ami-Beth, I am wishing you a wonderful vacation! Please let us know if you have any additional questions. Enjoy your stay!
