Can I take Disney Skyliner to BoardWalk?

Plus, the Disney Skyliner provides a relaxing trip to dining locations across Disney Resort hotels?including Disney's Yacht Club Resort, Disney's Beach Club Resort and Disney's BoardWalk Inn.



Yes, you can take the Disney Skyliner to the Disney BoardWalk area by getting off at the EPCOT International Gateway station. While there isn't a station named "BoardWalk," the EPCOT station is just a short, five-minute walk from the entrance to Disney's BoardWalk Inn and the surrounding dining and entertainment district. The Skyliner is an aerial gondola system that connects the BoardWalk area to Disney’s Hollywood Studios and several other resorts like Caribbean Beach, Riviera, and Pop Century. This makes it an incredibly popular way for guests to "resort hop" and enjoy the nightlife, street performers, and restaurants at the BoardWalk without needing a car or bus. In 2026, the Skyliner remains one of the most efficient and scenic ways to travel between the EPCOT-area resorts and Hollywood Studios, offering a "bird's-eye view" of the Walt Disney World property while bypassing the traditional ground traffic and bus wait times.
