The Disney Skyliner: By the Numbers

One of our new favorite ways to get around Walt Disney World is the Disney Skyliner. In addition to providing transportation to Guests staying at the Caribbean Beach, Riviera, and other resorts, it’s a great way to park hop between EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Make no mistake, the launch boats are also a great way to travel (and you get a great view of the serene waterways connecting the two parks), but traveling by air is a totally different experience! Even if you’re not staying at one of the resorts it serves, consider taking a ride on the Skyliner. Much like the monorail, many folks think of the Skyliner as an attraction unto itself! Not only is it a unique way to travel, it will also give you the chance to see Disney from a whole new vantage point…just like the good old days when you had that great view of Fantasyland as you rode the Skyway. Who knows? It just might become your favorite Disney attraction! Let’s go behind the scenes and take a look at the Disney Skyliner – By the Numbers:
