food IS a theme park
There’s no such thing as a PERFECT mode of Disney World transportation, though some of Disney’s newer solutions come pretty close! For example, ever since the Skyliner opened, it’s been a POPULAR alternative to taking the bus to EPCOT or Disney’s Hollywood Studios. (And it’s way faster, too!)
Who’s up for a ride on the Skyliner?
That said, it’s still not a perfect system, so we’ve rounded up some of the downsides to taking the Skyliner.
Picture this: it’s the end of the day, your feet are tired, and it’s time to head back to your hotel. Would you rather walk past ten bus stops to get to your resort’s bus pickup location, only to find a line full of people ahead of you, or stroll onto the Skyliner and chill out in a breezy gondola? Is it even a competition?!
Walt Disney World Skyliner
Here at the Disney Food Blog, we love the Skyliner. We also love Disney snacks (obviously), so when we found out about a new popcorn bucket at Disney World, we had to check it out!
The Disney Skyliner is one of the newest and most convenient transportation options in Disney World.
Disney Skyliner
You get to board a gondola and travel through the sky — so it’s basically a ride outside of the parks! The Skyliner connects a few Disney World Resort hotels with two Disney Parks, but this transportation option will be unavailable for a few days. Find out if you’ll be affected on your next Disney World trip.
Although seeing Cinderella Castle and grabbing a Mickey Bar can really make you feel like you’re at “home,” there’s something pretty magical about beginning and ending your day on some Disney Transportation.
Monorail
And, while Disney Transportation is currently suspended during the parks closures, your favorite pick of transportation may say a lot about your personality! Whether you’re more of a Monorail type of gal or a Disney bus loving dude, we’re here to tell you what your choice of Disney Transportation just might say about YOU!
From thrill rides to attractions meant for your little ones, Disney World has something for just about everyone to enjoy!

Riviera Resort View from the New Skyliners
All around the parks, there have been plenty of refurbs and brand new hotels on property, which has made it even harder to choose where to stay, but the DFB team has got you covered!
While the Disney Skyliner only opened September 29th, Disney World has already dealt with some technical difficulties.
Disnet Skyliner
Due to a collision, many guests were left stranded inside the gondolas for up to 3 hours (yikes). Buuut, it appears the issues regarding the Skyliner has been resolved ’cause they’re back open!
As you may be aware, there was an incident on the Disney World Skyliner last night.

While Disney has not stated the cause of the issue, they have confirmed there have been no reported injuries due to the accident.
It’s the day we’ve waited for — the Disney Skyliner is OFFICIALLY OPEN!
