One of the reasons why fans love staying on property at Walt Disney World Resort is because of the incredible transportation opportunities available for guests, such as the Monorail, bus, and boat transportation, and, of course, the ever-so-popular Disney Skyliner.

The Disney Skyliner is an incredible transportation system that enhances the magical experience of visiting the Walt Disney World Resort. This state-of-the-art gondola system first opened in 2019 and has since provided guests with a unique and unforgettable way to travel between various Disney destinations within the resort.

The Skyliner offers stunning views and a smooth ride, allowing guests to soar above the bustling crowds and immerse themselves in the beauty of the resort.

However, fans will soon not be able to experience this attraction.
