It’s FINALLY TIME!!! We’re so excited to share this news about such a highly anticipated new transportation system in Disney World!
We’ve finally got an official OPENING DATE for the Disney Skyliner gondolas in Disney World!
The ski-lift-esque transportation system will connect Epcot and Hollywood Studios to Disney’s Art of Animation Resort, Disney’s Pop Century Resort, Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort, and Disney’s Riviera Resort. Since all of these resorts (except Riviera, which isn’t open, yet) previously only had bus service around the parks, this is SUPER exciting. And we can ALL start riding in our very own gondolas on September 29th, 2019!!
The skyliner gondolas all sport bright, fun colors, which are VERY striking to see sailing over Walt Disney World. And some even bring a little character to the skies!

Which skyliner gondola are you hoping to ride in? For me, I’m waiting for the Hitchhiking Ghosts from Haunted Mansion, but I’ll settle for the 7 Dwarfs. ;-D

Laura says
????
We leave for home on September 28!!!
Angela says
Laura, us too. I’m hoping for a soft open prior to 9/29 so we can ride it while we’re there!!
Corr says
So disappointed! Coming to Disney in September from Germany mainly for the Skyliner experience 🙁
Might cancel …
Katie says
Do you think there will be a soft opening prior to this?
Ashri says
So disappointed with this date !!! Booked a September trip hoping to avoid the Star Wars crowds but instead got a half complete land – galaxies edge shopping center – and no skyliner !! ? I was looking forward to the skyliner more than Star Wars lol
Although, there seems to be a bunch more discounts & promotions for September so maybe just maybe we will get lucky and it won’t be as crowded !!
Chris says
What happened to August 28th?
DFB Sarah says
Chris, when Disney released info about the gondola designs back in April, they said cast members would begin riding in August, but this is the first official word on the Skyliner being open for guests.
DFB Sarah says
Katie, that’s a good question. We’ll update if we hear about one!
Heather says
Any idea if you have to have a park pass to ride them?
Regina says
OMG!!! I am so excited because I am staying at the Pop Century on November!!!
Can’t wait to use them!
Andrea says
I’m staying at Beach Club in September and was dreading the skyliner crowds at the International Gateway. Thankfully I go home on the 26th. Phew!
DFB Sarah says
Heather, no info on this — but we would not expect so. We expect they’ll be open for anyone who needs to ride from place to place, and you’ll still need to go through security and tap-stiles before you can enter the Parks you arrive at, anyway.
Arlene says
Will you need to go through a security checkpoint to ride on the gondola’s too?
DFB Sarah says
Arlene, no clarity on that yet. We’ll keep updating as details emerge!
