Does the Skyliner go to Disney Springs?

Important note: You can't get to Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, or Disney Springs from the Disney Skyliner. If those are your destinations, you'll need to use another mode of Disney transportation.



No, the Disney Skyliner does not currently go to Disney Springs. The Skyliner aerial gondola system connects two theme parks—EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios—to four specific resort hotels: Disney’s Art of Animation, Disney’s Pop Century, Disney’s Caribbean Beach, and Disney’s Riviera Resort. To get to Disney Springs from any of the Skyliner-linked resorts, guests must use the complimentary Disney Bus Transportation or a private ride-share service like Lyft. While there have been long-standing rumors and fan theories about expanding the gondola lines toward the shopping district, no such construction has been initiated as of 2026. The Skyliner's primary purpose remains facilitating rapid, scenic transport between the southern resorts and the two neighboring parks. For guests at the BoardWalk or Beach Club areas, walking or taking a boat to the Skyliner station at the EPCOT International Gateway is the best way to access the system, but Disney Springs remains a separate transit route.
