The Disney Skyliner gondola system provides convenient transportation between select resorts and EPCOT or Hollywood Studios, but service changes occur on nights with Extended Evening Hours. During these special events, the Skyliner operates only between EPCOT and Disney’s Riviera Resort, closing all other lines to Caribbean Beach, Pop Century, and Art of Animation. Guests staying at Riviera Resort can still ride back from EPCOT after extended hours end, but those heading to other resorts must use buses or alternative transport. Extended Evening Hours are typically reserved for Deluxe Resort guests and scheduled a month or two in advance on the official park calendar. Additionally, the Skyliner will undergo refurbishment closures in January 2027 and late January through early February 2028, requiring complimentary bus service during those periods.
Key Points:
- The Disney Skyliner operates only between EPCOT and Disney’s Riviera Resort during Extended Evening Hours, with all other lines closed.
