Can non resort guests ride the Skyliner?

Anyone can ride the Skyliner; you don't have to be staying at a Disney Resort. Probably the easiest way to catch a ride on the Skyliner (if you aren't staying at a resort with a station or if you are staying offsite) is to board at either Hollywood Studios or Epcot.

Note that the Skyliner is entirely FREE to ride for all guests. You won't be able to access it unless you get to one of its stations, so that could cause some barriers. But you don't need to be staying at one of the hotels on the Skyliner lines to use the service.

If you just want to ride the Skyliner for fun, you will have to get off at a destination—you cannot just stay on through a station—but you can usually just walk right back on going the other way. Of course, during peak times (park closing, particularly) this might be a bad idea.

The Disney Skyliner transportation system opened in fall 2019 at Walt Disney World Resort and has since been taking guests on the most magical flight on earth!

The only way to get between these stations is to walk through EPCOT, so you would not be able to transfer between the monorail and the Disney Skyliner without admission.

Is a Skyliner Resort Worth it? The easy answer is: YES! Skyliner resorts provide you with easy access to two of Disney parks, not to mention all of the other resorts on the Skyliner route and the resorts in the EPCOT area for you to explore and enjoy an extension of dining options beyond your own resort.

There are crowds and guests will line up well in advance of when the Skyliner starts running to ensure that they can get where they're going. There's also the problem [at some stations] of guests being unable to board, because those who got on at an earlier station are already occupying the Skyliner vehicles.

The Disney World resorts are home to some fan-favorite restaurants, and not only offer impressive spreads of cuisine, but are also specially-themed — just like in the parks!

So, complimentary standard self-parking is available to guests while they are there to enjoy Resort dining, shopping, entertainment, and recreation experiences. It is not allowed for guests who are not staying at the Resort to park and use other means to enter the Parks.

You are more than welcome to visit different Walt Disney World Resort Hotels other than the particular one you are staying at during your vacation. In fact, this is one of my favorite things to do. All of the resorts offer something different so it's fun to go and check the other ones out.

Oftentimes, the portion sizes are more than enough for an adult. Usually, I'll even split a kid's meal between my two Mouseketeers. Although restaurants often have their own policies, most restaurants at the Disneyland Resort are very accommodating and usually allow adults to order from the kids' menus.
