Can you ride the gondola from EPCOT to Hollywood Studios?

An Innovative Twist on Flight This grand, state-of-the-art gondola system conveniently connects Disney's Hollywood Studios and International Gateway at EPCOT to the following Disney Resort hotels: Disney's Art of Animation Resort. Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort.



Yes, you can travel between EPCOT and Disney's Hollywood Studios via the Disney Skyliner gondola system, but it is not a direct, non-stop flight. The journey requires a transfer at the Caribbean Beach Resort station, which serves as the central hub for the entire Skyliner network. To start, you would board at the EPCOT station located at the International Gateway (near the World Showcase entrance). This first leg takes you to the Caribbean Beach hub, where you must disembark and follow the signs to the Hollywood Studios line. The second leg is a short, roughly five-minute glide that drops you off right near the front entrance of Hollywood Studios. Total travel time is usually around 20 to 30 minutes, depending on wait times at the transfer station. It is an exceptionally scenic way to "park hop," offering "High-Fidelity" views of the Riviera Resort and the Boardwalk area, though it is subject to temporary closures during high winds or lightning storms.
