Disney Skyliner to Close Jan. 25–31 for Annual Maintenance

Overview

• The weeklong suspension is a scheduled refurbishment intended to maintain safety and reliability of the gondola system.
• Guests at Disney’s Art of Animation, Pop Century, Caribbean Beach, and Riviera resorts will lose direct gondola access during the closure.
• Complimentary buses will depart from the resorts’ standard stops for EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios, typically running about every 30 minutes.
• Disney advises allowing roughly an hour for travel, with Friendship Boats, a 30–45 minute walking path, and direct park-to-park buses providing additional options between EPCOT and Hollywood Studios.
• Online communities on X and Reddit are actively sharing timing tips and contingency plans as travelers adjust itineraries for the outage.
