Disney World Skyliner Stations

Skyliner stations are found at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort (the Skyliner hub), EPCOT’s International Gateway, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Disney’s Pop Century and Art of Animation Resorts, and Disney’s Riviera Resort.

Caribbean Beach Resort Station

There is also a turn station located near Disney’s BoardWalk Inn on the line between Riviera Resort and Epcot. The turn station is simply a point on the line where the route changes direction, but here riders can catch a glimpse of the mechanics that make Skyliner go!
