Last night, Thursday, April 22, it was reported that the Walt Disney World Skyliner had an issue with gondolas banging into each other. A Disney fan shared an Instagram story reporting the incident.

As reported via WDWNT: Disney Skyliner gondolas have once again crashed into each other. Instagram user nextstopmainstreet shared a video showing what appears to be two gondolas compressed against each other. Alyssa from nextstopmainstreet reports that two gondolas “banged into each other” and that there is shattered glass at the station. The incident appears to have happened at the Disney’s Hollywood Studios Skyliner station. As of 8:45pm, the Skyliner station at Disney’s Hollywood Studios reopened.

You may remember back in 2019, shortly after the opening of the Disney Skyliner, multiple gondolas piled up at Disney’s Riviera Resort station as shown in the photo above. The incident last night seems to have only included two gondolas. For the full story, visit source WDWNT.

EPCOT reopened to the public yesterday, and so has the Skyliner station at the International Gateway.

Signs advertise flights to Disney’s Riviera Resort, Caribbean Beach Resort, Pop Century Resort, Art of Animation Resort, and Hollywood Studios, which also reopened. Caribbean Beach Resort has not yet reopened, but its Skyliner station acts as a major hub for other lines. Pop Century is open and Riviera Resort is open for Disney Vacation Club members only. Art of Animation will be reopening in August.

Already seen testing on various lines throughout the latter half of the extended parks closure, the Disney Skyliner will be back in full swing starting July 15.

While we were aware that transportation to the parks would resume upon the reopening of the theme parks, we now have confirmation that all three lines of the Disney Skyliner will be in operation for the reopening of EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

Hours for the Disney Skyliner are slated to be 10:00 AM – 11:00 PM for EPCOT, and 9:00 AM – 10:00 PM for Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

Disney’s Pop Century Resort, which will be reopening on July 10, and Disney’s Riviera Resort, which is now open, will have transportation to the two newly-reopened parks. (Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort will not reopen until July 29, and Disney’s Art of Animation Resort will not be reopening until August 12.)

Other forms of theme park transportation will also be available, albeit on a limited basis, via Monorail, ferryboat, and resort buses.

Additional logistics details are being sent out to Cast Members ahead of the planned June 22 reopening for DVC resorts and July 11 reopening for select parks and resorts throughout Walt Disney World.

Upon reopening, transportation will be available for resort hotel guests, albeit on a limited basis. Transportation will be available via Monorail and ferry boat. At this time, it is unknown whether transportation options will still include resort buses or the Disney Skyliner.

Plans to support required physical distancing as well as enhanced cleaning measures, along with a number of other safety and cleanliness protocols, will be implemented as part of this planned phased reopening. 

Disney is temporarily pausing new ticket sales and Disney Resort hotel reservations in order to focus on guests with existing tickets and reservations. Disney Vacation Club members can still make new reservations.
