We’re popping by to remind you of ANOTHER Disney World closure that’s coming up QUICK!
We’ve just had several attractions around Disney World close for routine maintenance and refurbishment like was the case with Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster and Kali River Rapids, but if you’re traveling to Disney World soon this is the ONE closure you’ll need to even closer attention to. Otherwise, it could really affect your plans for the day.
The Disney Skyliner has been a popular mode of transportation around the Disney World parks since its debut… but it also hasn’t been without its challenges.
This “highway in the sky” gondola-style transportation system allows you to hop inside one of its pod-like carries and be whisked off to and from various Disney World hotels and parks, like EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
We learned of this upcoming refurbishment not too long ago and now the time of its closure is just around the corner. Currently, the Disney Skyliner is scheduled to be under refurbishment starting January 16th through the 21st, with service between Disney’s Riviera Resort and EPCOT’s International Gateway remaining closed through January 27th, 2024.
While this may be a bummer to your trip, complimentary buses will be scheduled to shuttle folks to their destinations that would normally use the skyline to get to where they’re headed.
We’re glad to hear that this refurbishment isn’t scheduled to be down for a super long time but its brief closure could put a damper on your plans if you weren’t aware of the need to line up with the alternate transportation offered. We keep watch over Disney closures and refurbishments constantly, so be sure to check back in with us at All Ears for the latest in Disney updates and more.

Hi. I was wondering if you know the date that closure was announced?
It’s odd to think of how things were before the Skyliner. Now it’s so embedded it’s like it was always there.
