Advice on riding Skyliner from Polynesian or Old Key West?

[jenhelgren]

We will be staying 1 night at Poly and 1 at Old Key West at the end of the month without park tickets and would love to check out the Skyliner!! Which resort would be easier to get to Sklyiner? We will have a vehicle, just no park tickets. Is it possible to walk from monorail station at Epcot to International Gateway Skyliner stop without a park ticket? I was thinking the HS bus from Key West would be best but the early reports say HS was the busiest station by far opening day so now I am rethinking the plan. Thanks for any and all advice and suggestions in advance!

No. Monorail is at the Front entrance, Skyliner is at the back entrance. Even at the busiest station* at the busiest time, the line moved constantly (like boarding a Doom Buggy) unless the entire line is stopped for some reason.

* Really, as the core station, CBR would be the busiest.

From the Poly or OKW bus to DHS, take the Skyliner from there. Or bus to DHS and take the boat or walk to the IG station at the back of Epcot.
Or drive to the BC, park in the BC lot, grab a bite to eat at Hurricane Hanna’s or Beaches & Cream, and walk over to the IG station.
Drive the car to AOA or POP, park there & check out the resort/grab a bite, then walk to the station on hour glass lake between them.
Take the monorail or boat from the Poly to the MK. Walk over to the bus stops, catch a bus to BC, AOA, or POP and walk to the Skyliner station.
I haven’t stayed at CBR for many years - but I assume you’d need to park near one of the islands or OPR and then walk or take the internal bus to the CBR station.
Personally I’d probably go via AOA, as it looks like a fun resort to check out & you’d get to ‘fly’ over hour glass lake leaving from the POP/AOA station, then transfer at CBR to either the DHS or Epcot line.

Thank you!! Neither are resorts we stay at often so your "list" is exactly what I was hoping for!
