We have been awaiting this announcement from Walt Disney World about the new Skyliner transportation system for some time. It was originally thought this would be ready to go with the opening of Galaxy’s Edge at the end of August since Hollywood Studios is on the Skyliner route. However, Disney announced yesterday the official opening of this anticipated mode of transportation.
On September 29, Disney Skyliner gondolas will take flight and officially begin transporting guests around Walt Disney World Resort.
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. We previously featured a few of the character cabins on the Disney Parks Blog, including those with Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Pluto and Chip & Dale. Other Disney stories taking flight with guests include:
- “Coco”
- Goofy, Pete, Horace Horsecollar and Clarabelle Cow
- “Finding Dory”
- Haunted Mansion
- “Monsters, Inc.”
- Pirates of the Caribbean
- “Ratatouille”
