How much does the Disney Skyliner cost?

And one of the best parts about the Disney skyliner is it is absolutely free to ride. Just like the Disney World monorail and bus services you do not need a ticket or have to pay to ride.



One of the best perks of visiting Walt Disney World is that the Disney Skyliner is completely free for all guests. You do not need a theme park ticket, a resort reservation, or even a MagicBand to board. It serves as a complimentary transportation system connecting EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios to several resorts, including Disney’s Art of Animation, Pop Century, Caribbean Beach, and the Riviera Resort. Because it offers a bird's-eye view of the property, many guests use it as a "free ride" or a scenic tour even if they aren't staying at one of the connected hotels. It is essentially a high-capacity gondola system that moves continuously, making it one of the most efficient ways to travel between the parks and resorts without the wait times often associated with buses or boats. Whether you are "resort hopping" for a meal or simply want a relaxing 15-minute glide above the treetops, you can simply walk up to any station and hop in a cabin at no cost.

If you just want to ride the Skyliner for fun, you will have to get off at a destination—you cannot just stay on through a station—but you can usually just walk right back on going the other way. Of course, during peak times (park closing, particularly) this might be a bad idea.
