I Took a Ride on Disney’s Skyliner Cast Member Preview
Disney’s newest form of transportation, The Skyliner, will be opening September 29, 2019. I was lucky enough to experience them today at the Skyliner Cast Member preview (thankfully I know a Cast Member) and was able to go along for a ride. Make sure you check out the two videos below!
When we arrived we were given our “boarding pass” which had a map on the back showing the route(s) and all 5 stations.
Where are the Stations?
There are stations at Hollywood Studios, Caribbean Beach Resort, Art of Animation/Pop Century, Riviera Resort, and Epcot.
Which is the Main Station?
The Caribbean Beach Resort station is the main station. From here you can choose to go to Pop Century/Art of Animation (the only “floating” station located on Hourglass Lake) Hollywood Studios or Riviera Resort. While the Riviera Resort is not open until December of this year, the station will be available for guests staying at the Caribbean Beach Resort.
You can continue on through the Riviera Resort station and ride over to Epcot.
Guests staying at the Epcot area resorts will have access to the International Gateway Station.
How Many People Can Each Gondola Hold?
The gondolas can hold up to 10 people. The cabins are spacious and comfortable, with 2 benches on either side. There are wrapped and unwrapped gondolas.
The wrapped ones are cute with all the different characters while the unwrapped ones offer the best views. The ride is very smooth! From start to stop you’re just gliding through the air.
Vents are up towards the top the cabin and offer great air-flow while you are moving, it was quite breezy while we were in there at times. I thought at some point I might get nervous being up that high but I felt safe the entire time.
The views while traveling above are magical! It’s so fun to see a different view of Disney.
