How do I get from EPCOT to Caribbean resort?

The easiest (and most fun) way to get to Epcot from the Caribbean Beach Resort is to take the Disney Skyliner! One huge benefit of staying at Caribbean Beach is there is an entry station to the Skyliner at the resort. In fact, there are actually TWO different places you can board the Skyliner at Caribbean Beach.



The most efficient and scenic way to travel between EPCOT and Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort is via the Disney Skyliner aerial gondola system. The Skyliner station at EPCOT is located at the International Gateway (between the UK and France pavilions in World Showcase). From there, you take a short flight to the Riviera Resort station and then continue to the Caribbean Beach Resort hub. Alternatively, Disney provides complimentary bus transportation from the main EPCOT entrance at the front of the park. While the Skyliner is generally faster and offers great views, the bus is a reliable backup during inclement weather or if you are already at the front of the park.
