What is the longest Skyliner route?

  • Riviera Resort and Epcot line. The longest of the three lines is the Epcot line. ...
  • Hollywood Studios line. The Hollywood Studios line heads due west out of the Caribbean Beach hub. ...
  • Pop Century Resort/Art of Animation Resort line. The shortest of the three routes.




The longest individual leg of the Disney Skyliner is the route between the Disney’s Riviera Resort and the International Gateway at EPCOT, which takes approximately 9 to 10 minutes and offers stunning views of the World Showcase. However, if you consider a "journey" from start to finish, the longest travel time is from the Art of Animation / Pop Century station to EPCOT. This trip requires a transfer at the Caribbean Beach hub and takes a total of about 18 to 20 minutes of flight time, plus any time spent in the transfer line. The system moves at a constant speed of about 11 mph, providing a surprisingly efficient and scenic alternative to the bus system. It is important to note that the Skyliner occasionally closes for high winds or lightning, so it is always good to have the My Disney Experience app handy for real-time status updates.
