The Disney Skyliner gondola system has been a key part of Walt Disney World’s transportation infrastructure since it opened in 2019.
Disney Skyliner
The mass gondola system, which connects two of Disney World’s theme parks and four of the park’s resorts, is arguably the most efficient of Disney’s transportation methods, with only weather standing in its way. The system’s continuous motion, and large gondola cabins ensure that even queues that appear long will move relatively quickly, making the system VERY popular among Disney guests who stay on the line. Therefore, it only makes sense that many guests want the Skyliner to be expanded beyond its current route. However, that seems unlikely.

June saw the resort bid goodbye to Muppet*Vision 3D and PizzeRizzo, but the rest of the year has them anticipating the turnover of the Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster into a new Muppet-themed version of the thrill ride. Whether you’re still in mourning or impatiently waiting to ROCK, Amazon has several Muppet t-shirt options for you!
Disney’s Lightning Lane system is constantly evolving to fit the needs of the resort, and 2025 has been no exception, as new rides have been added, tiers have changed, and one type of experience has been removed!
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure
I’ve been going to Disney World for over 30 years, and over that time, I’ve watched the “skip-the-line” system evolve from FastPass through FastPass+, Genie+, and Lightning Lane. Beyond that, within each of these systems, the company has continuously tweaked rules and shuffled offerings. These are some of the most notable changes made this past year.

Disney World is in the midst of a massive period of change that’s primed to change the resort forever. While some of these changes have proven divisive, others are definitely for the best!
Mickey!
I’ve been writing about Walt Disney World for 7 years, and visiting for nearly 5x that long, and over that time I’ve seen a lot of changes I’ve loved… and a lot I haven’t. Currently, massive construction projects are going on across the resort, with iconic rides closing to make way for the attractions of the future, some for the better and some potentially for the worse in my opinion. However, while those projects are still years away, there are several positive things going on in the parks RIGHT NOW!
