Disney Takes to the Skies

Soar with the new Disney Skyliner, which opened Fall of 2019 in Walt Disney World. These aerial gondolas bring a unique birds-eye views to guests to experience the World in new and unique ways.

The ride is ultra smooth and pleasantly breezy! These turned out to be one of our favorite “attractions” during our last visit

The gondolas connect Disney’s Hollywood Studios and the International Gateway at Epcot to four resort hotels:

Gondolas with Character

Most Disney Skyliner cabins are decorated with Disney characters from films and attractions, in bright, bold designs, so the characters soar alongside you.

These include the characters Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse, Chip & Dale, Clarabelle Cow, Goofy, Horace Horsecollar, Pete, and Pluto, plus favorites from films and attractions including Beauty and the Beast, Coco, Finding Dory, the Haunted Mansion, Monsters, Inc., Pirates of the Caribbean, and Ratatouille.

The Disney Skyliner has a fleet of over 300 cabins.

Each cabin provides bench seating for 10 guests, and are accessible to guests with wheelchairs and assistive devices.

Best of all, the skyliner is a speedy transport option between parks and resorts.
