The Disney Skyliner is a gondola lift system at the Walt Disney World Resort in Bay Lake, Florida. It opened on September 29, 2019, and connects Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Epcot to four resort hotels: Disney’s Art of Animation Resort, Disney’s Pop Century Resort, Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort, and the Riviera Resort. The system is scheduled to close in 2025 for refurbishment.
The closure of the Disney Skyliner in 2025 is expected to have a significant impact on the Walt Disney World Resort. The Skyliner is a popular transportation option for guests staying at the four resort hotels it serves, and its closure will likely lead to increased wait times for other transportation options, such as buses and the monorail. Additionally, the closure of the Skyliner will make it more difficult for guests to get to and from Hollywood Studios and Epcot, which are two of the most popular theme parks at Walt Disney World.
