New Gondola System To Take Flight At Walt Disney World On September 29th.

This weekend there will be a new way to travel around Walt Disney World and it’s magical!

A complimentary transportation system, Disney Skyliner will soar above waterways and wooded areas alike on its way to theme parks and Disney resort hotels, while wide-eyed guests will be treated to views never before seen. Each car accommodates 10 travelers and in total the system covers 6 miles of cable.

This Skyliner connects Epcot and Disney’s Hollywood Studios to Disney’s Art of Animation Resort, Disney’s Pop Century Resort, Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort and the new Disney’s Riviera Resort, a Disney Vacation Club resort that will open Dec. 16, 2019.

Nearly half of the approximately 300 Disney Skyliner cabins will be wrapped in whimsical Disney scenes – with beloved characters, fan-favorite movies, attractions and more – giving the appearance that Disney pals are riding along with guests.

Disney Skyliner guests will discover bird’s-eye views of Disney’s Hollywood Studios, including the Hollywood Tower Hotel. Approaches to Epcot are equally eye-catching, as the countries around World Showcase Lagoon come into view with iconic Spaceship Earth in the distance.

Guests staying at Disney resort hotels accessible by Disney Skyliner will have quick-and-easy transportation to all the fun of Disney’s BoardWalk entertainment district, access to Epcot through the International Gateway station, and restaurants as well as the resort hotels serviced by magical service.

The artful stations along the Disney Skyliner route will feature uniquely Disney designs that reflect their surroundings:

• The Epcot International Gateway station is inspired by the nearby European pavilions in the park. Covered metal and glass canopies, hand-painted murals themed to flight and ornate metal detailing are all in the Art Nouveau style.
• The Disney’s Riviera Resort station incorporates influences from the Mediterranean coast to produce an elegant portal for guests.
• The station at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort connects all three routes and extends the architectural details and bright island colors associated with the Caribbean.
• The Disney’s Hollywood Studios station reflects the Art Decostyle of the park’s main entrance area. Guests arriving on Disney Skyliner will be awestruck as a panoramic view of the park unfolds.
• Disney’s Pop Century Resort and Disney’s Art of Animation Resort share a Disney Skyliner station at Hourglass Lake. Colorful structural forms create a space that feels whimsical and contextual with both resorts. Departing the station, guests will glide above Hourglass Lake and ascend to thrilling views of both resort hotels.

Disney Skyliner joins the network of complimentary Walt Disney World transportation benefits for resort hotel guests allowing them to travel effortlessly around Walt Disney World. The gondolas join other favorite options such as the world-famous monorail system along with ferry boats and water taxis, and motor coaches.
