Disney World Skyliner Gondola System

Walt Disney World’s newest form of transportation is the Disney Skyliner, a gondola connecting Epcot and Disney’s Hollywood Studios with several Disney Resorts. We went live from our very first ride aboard this brand new system — click here to see what we thought and to check out those views!

Caribbean Beach Resort Station

There is also a turn station located near 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!

Disney World Skyliner Concept Art and Stations

The Caribbean Beach Resort station is a hub of activity for the new system. All three Skyliner lines come and go from the Caribbean Beach Skyliner station, and any transfers that happen from line-to-line will occur at this station. Disney’s original concept art showed a colorful roof and tower as well as while post and beam construction.

The actual station is perhaps a bit more understated in color but not in size! It’s a large, open space that also incorporates restrooms and a new Joffrey’s Coffee stand!

At Disney’s Hollywood Studios, the station mimics the retro look of the Park entrance. Concept art incorporated a silver-looking curved roof and red accents with that ubiquitous Hollywood Studios teal!

The actual structure is pretty close to the original! Also updated at this location: additional bag checks, a new tram drop off and pick up, entrance changes, and a new restroom that is easily accessible for those planning to use Skyliner.

Epcot’s Skyliner station is located at the Park’s International Gateway and captures the beauty of the pavilions located near this part of the Park. Specifically the station complements the nearby France pavilion which is itself undergoing an expansion.
