One of the best perks in our opinion is unique and fast transportation options. Why take a bus when you could hop on the Monorail, walk, or ride the Skyliner to the parks? The Disney Skyliner is a gondola system that we love to use to ride to Disney’s Hollywood Studios and EPCOT. There are only a few hotels that are part of the Skyliner system, but soon those resorts will temporarily lose that perk as the Skyliner closes for refurbishments!
