How long does Disney Skyliner take from Pop Century?

Here is a helpful Skyliner map to plan your route and find the pickup and drop-off locations for the Theme Parks and resorts. The ride from Pop Century to Disney's Hollywood Studios is about 15 minutes in total, with a quick transfer at the Skyliner station at Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort.



The Disney Skyliner journey from Disney's Pop Century Resort (or Art of Animation, which shares the station) to the parks is a multi-leg trip. The first leg, from the Pop Century/Art of Animation station to the Caribbean Beach Hub, takes approximately 5 to 6 minutes. Once you arrive at the Caribbean Beach hub, you must disembark and transfer to a different line depending on your destination. The ride from the Caribbean Beach hub to Disney's Hollywood Studios takes about 5 to 6 minutes. If you are heading to EPCOT, the ride from the Caribbean Beach hub (including a brief, non-disembarking turn at the Riviera Resort station) takes roughly 10 to 12 minutes. Therefore, the total "in-the-air" time from Pop Century to Hollywood Studios is about 12 minutes, and to EPCOT is about 18 minutes. It is important to factor in "transfer time" at the Caribbean Beach hub, which can add 5 to 15 minutes depending on the length of the line. During peak morning hours, you should budget a total of 30 to 45 minutes from leaving your hotel room to arriving at the park entrance to account for walking and queueing.

We just booked a reservation for early September, after labor day, and wanted to know where people have had their rooms located in the pop century preferred rooms.

And as a general rule, you can not walk from All Star Movies to Pop Century. And although it is only about a 3-4 mile difference between the two resorts the main reason is there is not an official walking path.
