If you have been to Disney World recently — more specifically, to Disney’s Hollywood Studios — you may have seen the sky filled with Disney Skyliner gondolas, which remain in testing as the new transportation system is being prepared to carry guests this fall.
Hollywood Studios Skyliner Testing
While in testing, the gondola cabins have remained under cover, for the most part. (Though we have seen a few unwrapped here and there.) And today, the cabins we saw were still, indeed, under wraps.

But we couldn’t help but notice the presence of one of the Fab Five detected beneath the covering…

GAWRSH! I know, it’s a little hard to see — what with being covered and all 😉 — but that sure looks like Goofy’s orange shirt, wide eyes, and signature grin!
Disney has previously shared concept art of the Skyliner cabins, many of which will feature characters on the outside.

But getting a look at them in person — even through a wrap — brings a new level of excitement as we wait for the Disney Skyliner to begin transporting guests in the future!

I am quite excited to see the skyliner being added back into the park. I remember when the sky tram was a Magic Kingdom.
Was there yesterday and saw a Pluto gondola as well.
I can see Pete in the photo before Goofy too!
I am excited to ride the gondola. On a non park day, I’d like to tour the different resorts via each of the mode of transportation. From bus, boat, monorail and gondola.
Does anyone know if the
Skyliner can carry ECVs?
Robin, we haven’t heard anything on this yet. We’ll update as soon as we do!
In a recent posting you stated the Passholder Discount at Maria & Enzo’s at Disney Springs between the hours of 11:30-3:30 was 40% until May 31, 2019 and in this posting you stated it was 15%. Is it really 40% during that time and date? Also, the hours for the Brunch at Art Smith’s place at Disney Springs has 2 different times. We live in the area and go here often and would like to know just what is the correct time and also about the Maria & Enzo’s discount. Love your site and read it every day. Thanks for your hard work.
Kathleen, that’s a Disney bucket list day for sure!
Rodrigo, fun!
