There are crowds and guests will line up well in advance of when the Skyliner starts running to ensure that they can get where they're going. There's also the problem [at some stations] of guests being unable to board, because those who got on at an earlier station are already occupying the Skyliner vehicles.
In addition, the Epcot station puts you within a short walk to the Boardwalk entertainment district where you'll find lots of restaurants and things to do. Important note: You can't get to Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, or Disney Springs from the Disney Skyliner.
The Art of Animation Resort is Disney's newest resort offering guests family suites or typical resort rooms. The location is not far from both Epcot and Hollywood Studios making it convenient in many ways. You can see the tops of some fireworks at both Epcot and Hollywood Studios but your views will be minimal.
Location Tips: The Finding Nemo rooms cost a bit more because they are all considered “preferred” meaning they are the closest of any buildings to Animation Hall, the Skyliner, and the main pool.
