The Disney Skyliner is a state-of-the-art gondola system at Walt Disney World that connects two theme parks and four resort hotels through five distinct stations. The "main hub" is the International Gateway at EPCOT, which is just a short walk from Disney's BoardWalk. The other theme park stop is at the entrance of Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Between these two parks, the Skyliner makes several stops at resort locations. There is a major transfer station at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort, where the lines from the parks and other resorts converge. From there, you can take a spur to Disney’s Riviera Resort or head south to the shared station for Disney’s Art of Animation Resort and Disney’s Pop Century Resort, which is located on a bridge over Hourglass Lake. The Skyliner has revolutionized transport in the "Epcot resort area," providing a scenic, breezy "flight" that often beats the buses in terms of speed and efficiency, though it does occasionally close during high winds or lightning storms for safety.
