food IS a theme park
We have some exciting Disney World news – the Disney Skyliner is back open! The Skyliner was closed from January 25th to January 31st and reopened this morning. We’re so excited to ride again.
The Skyliner are skyway gondolas that feature some of our favorite Disney characters. It connects two Disney World parks, Hollywood Studios and EPCOT, with five resorts. Here are some of our favorite ways to get around using the Skyliner!
We’re warning you about an upcoming Disney World refurbishment that could throw a wrench in your 2026 vacation plans.
Disney’s Pop Century Resort
The Disney World hotels are no strangers to long closures due to repairs, refurbishments, and improvements. That trend is continuing in 2026, as one brief refurbishment project will affect 4 different hotels in January 2026.
While closures around Disney World can be quite the bummer if you aren’t expecting to stumble upon them, they’re a pretty important part of operating a theme park and keeping it in tip-top shape.
Closures are important!
Throughout the year, rides, pools, and even forms of transportation will temporarily close so that Disney can perform routine maintenance and clean up procedures to keep everything running smoothly and looking magical and brand new. An important closure is taking place starting TOMORROW, January 16th, and you need to be aware if you’re headed to Disney World this month!
Are you and your crew fans of Disney’s transportation system in the sky? We’ve got good news for you!
Skyliner at Riviera
Disney’s Skyliner is one of the most popular modes of transportation on Disney World property, due to its convenience and because it really is just tons of fun! However, as several things at Disney do this time of year, the Skyliner closed on January 22nd for a week long refurbishment.
Disney World has a variety of transportation options when it comes to traveling within the resort. You have their classic buses, the iconic Monorail, a few boats, and a newer system called the Skyliner.

This gondola system is a new favorite for many guests. Plus, it stops at several resorts and parks, making it not only novel but convenient.
The Disney Skyliner has had a rather turbulent two years since its opening in 2019.

The transportation system is beloved by guests and has been praised for the convenience it provides to those staying at connected resorts, but it has also had a few “crashes” and closures in the past. Recently, the transportation system went under a short refurbishment, but just days after reopening, one line is closed down!
EPCOT is a popular place to be right now, since the International Festival of the Arts is currently happening, with exciting entertainment, fun activities, and delicious eats.
