Disney Characters Fill the Skies with Unwrapping of 55 Disney Skyliner Gondolas at Walt Disney World Resort

I’m not sure of the “terms” we’re using lol but I shot this video today at Hollywood Studios of the “spur”? “second”? line.
There are two cabins waiting on the spur line as the third cabin comes into the spur the first of the two cabins goes back on the “main” line.

That's awesome works just as I thought. When one enters the secondary loop one on the secondary loop fills the "void".

This is so exciting!! They’re just beautiful!

Boo.

I know they keep saying fall but I’m still trying to be hopeful for our August trip. I’d love to be able to ride these when we go!

Really, Do people do this with the monorails? "I haven't ridden monorail blue yet this trip!!" or like the cars on the speedway? I just don't see there being some huge priority to ride back and forth on the gondolas just to get all the characters. Now I COULD see some kid saying "I want to wait for Nemo!" which will be a problem they will have to deal with. If it becomes a REAL problem - goodbye overlays.

On my last trip my 2yo and I kept track of which monorails we had ridden. Didn't go out of our way for it, but it was still fun.

Disney really needs to hire some new program and/or construction managers.

Rumor - guests may be riding July 4th weekend...

 

[Mousewerks]

So.. I wasn't sure if that Disney Parks blog said there were 55 uniquely wrapped cabins or that the 55 that were unwrapped included non-themed cars as well. I'm still hoping for a TRON cabin...

That would be great!

 

[rteetz]

That would be great!

Extra great for me since I’m on-site starting July 5th. I’d love to see them right when they open.

If that's true then they must really be confident that they will not be too hot for guest's...in other words , no a/c needed

 

[karly05]

I am so excited by these! And I got 3 off my Wish List: Zootopia, Coco and Guardians!

Why wouldn't they be confident? Its a non-issue.

Minor correction July 4th is a Thursday

Minor correction July 4th is a Thursday

Ack! I was subconsciously pushing it a day early to increase my June 30 chances!

Still, we don't check out until July 9th. So, there's hope.

July 1 is our HS day
July 5 is Epcot
July 6 is Bon Voyage breakfast.
