Why, was it down a lot during your trip(s)? We have used it 30+ times and only had it closed once or twice at the most, so percentage wise that seems pretty reliable. It gets a bad rap but I think a lot of it is because WDW does a horrible job letting people know it's down and where to catch the buses and it leaves a lasting impression with people.
Bottom line is that Skyliner is Season dependent as to frequency of downtime with Summer being ground zero.
Skyliner is almost 100 per cent reliable these days other than weather closures.
And even then it is luck of the draw.
One Guest may have a "Skyliner went down a lot" Summer experience and another may have a "Skyliner hardly ever was down" Summer experience.
We have had both.
And as another post very well stated,the horrible transmission of info by Disney when Skyliner does go down greatly adds to "Skyliner is down AGAIN frustration".
