Does Disney Skyliner cost extra?

A: Yes, the Disney Skyliner is free! Just like the busses and monorail at Disney World, the Disney World Skyliner is free and available for all guests to use. So, don't worry about a Disney Skyliner cost the next time you're wanting to fly in the sky!



The Disney Skyliner is a complimentary transportation service at Walt Disney World Resort, meaning it does not cost anything extra to ride. Like the monorails, ferryboats, and buses, the Skyliner is available to all guests, regardless of whether they are staying at a Disney resort, visiting the theme parks, or simply "resort hopping" for dining and atmosphere. You do not need a park ticket to board the gondolas, which connect Disney’s Hollywood Studios and the International Gateway at EPCOT with several resorts, including Pop Century, Art of Animation, Caribbean Beach, and the Riviera Resort. This "gondola in the sky" has become a popular attraction in its own right, offering unique aerial views of the property. While the ride is free, keep in mind that parking at the resorts is usually restricted to registered guests or those with dining reservations, so most day-trippers choose to board the Skyliner after parking at one of the theme parks or arriving via another form of Disney transport.
