On September 29, Disney Skyliner gondolas will take flight and officially begin transporting guests around Walt Disney World Resort.
This state-of-the-art transportation system offers a new way to experience the resort with amazing views only available from the sky. Disney Skyliner 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 new Disney’s Riviera Resort scheduled to open in December 2019.
Some Disney Skyliner cabins feature graphics based on Disney films, attractions and characters. Disney stories taking flight with guests include:
Mickey Mouse
Minnie Mouse
Pluto
Chip & Dale
“Coco”
Goofy, Pete, Horace Horsecollar and Clarabelle Cow
“Finding Dory”
Haunted Mansion
“Monsters, Inc.”
Pirates of the Caribbean
“Ratatouille”
Guests aboard Disney Skyliner will travel quickly across the sky, with rides approximately five to 15 minutes in length, depending on the destination. • Disney’s Caribbean Beach to Disney’s Hollywood Studios: 5-6 minutes • Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort to Disney’s Pop Century Resort or Disney’s Art of Animation Resort: under six minutes • Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort to Disney’s Riviera Resort: about 5 minutes • Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort to International Gateway at Epcot: approximately 15 minutes • Disney’s Riviera Resort to International Gateway at Epcot: approximately nine minutes.
There are more than 300 cabins, each with bench seating that can comfortably accommodate up to ten Guests, including those traveling with wheelchairs or assistive devices.
Although they won’t have air conditioning, the cabins were specifically tailored to provide a comfortable ride for guests in the Florida climate, with cross-ventilation for sufficient air flow and reflective windows to prevent direct sunlight.
I am BUMMED that these won’t be open yet on my trip in August, but I’ll just have to go back! Let me book and plan your trip for FREE and then be sure to brag to me how you got to ride these before me. I promise I’ll try not to be too jealous!!
