The Disney Skyliner Closes For Annual Refurbishment
Of all the additions to Walt Disney World over the last twenty years, the Disney Skyliner is my favorite.
The gondolas that now soar over Disney World have transformed the resort’s transportation system, connecting previously isolated resorts like Disney’s Caribbean Beach, Pop Century, and the Art of Animation to EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and by extension, Disney’s Boardwalk Resort and the Magic Kingdom.
When the project was first announced, I was skeptical. As someone who grew up staying at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort, I was concerned that the resort’s ambiance would be ruined.
Now, however, I can’t imagine a Disney vacation without the Skyliner. In fact, these days, I do all I can to stay on the Skyliner line and avoid the Disney buses.
Well, if you too plan on staying at a Disney Skyliner resort, be prepared.
The Skyliner Closes For Yearly Maintenance
The transportation system is currently closed for its yearly maintenance and will not be running for the next few days.
The Skyliner line between Pop Century, the Art of Animation, and Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort will resume on January 21, as will the line between the Caribbean and Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
The line that connects Disney’s Riviera and Caribbean Beach Resorts with EPCOT will be closed for a few additional days, eventually reopening on January 27.
Signs are currently displayed at both EPCOT and Hollywood Studios, in addition to the Skyliner resorts, warning guests that the transportation system is unavailable.
Additional Bus Transportation is Available
While the Skyliner is being worked on, additional bus transportation will be available to guests staying at Skyliner Resorts.
So, if you plan on staying at a Skyliner resort in the next couple of weeks, be prepared!
Hopefully, the maintenance is performed on schedule, and the Most Magical Flight on Earth will resume in no time.
