Disney World Sets Late January Closures for Skyliner and EPCOT’s ‘Frozen Ever After’

Guests should plan to use buses during the Skyliner pause, with Frozen’s return date still unclear.

Overview

Disney Skyliner is scheduled to shut down for maintenance January 25–31, 2026, consistent with its annual early‑year upkeep.
Frozen Ever After at EPCOT will close for refurbishment starting January 26, with reports split between an open‑ended timeline and a February return.
During the Skyliner outage, Disney will route guests to alternative transportation, including bus and boat services.
The gondola system, introduced in 2019, links EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and resort hotels such as Caribbean Beach and Art of Animation.
The January downtime lands within a broader 2026 refresh across the resort, with further changes ahead such as planned updates in Animal Kingdom.
