Can anyone ride the Skyliner?

Anyone can ride the Skyliner! You do not have to present any hotel reservation information in order to get to the resorts accessible by gondolas. That said, you can only park at any of the resorts if you are a registered guest, attending a convention or have a dining reservation.
