We usually have a non park resort hopping skyliner day on each trip.I enjoy the ride on the Skyliner more than I do a few of the actual attractions.
We were so excited to ride it also. When we stayed at POP in 2019, we watched them running in the test phase and finally got to ride it on our Honeymoon trip in 2021!I'm so excited to ride these! I remember riding the ones that went across Magic Kingdom!

If it is busy, they will put other parties with you. Primarily at rope drop and park close. I believe the gondolas are designed to hold 8.We are a party of 3. When we ride the skyliner, will they put other people in it with us? Just wondering what is the occupancy of them?
As others have said only when it’s busy will they combine groups together. They hold up go 10 people.We are a party of 3. When we ride the skyliner, will they put other people in it with us? Just wondering what is the occupancy of them?
It moves relatively fast though. You make better progress, IMHO, moving through the Skyliner queue at either of Epcot or DHS than waiting for a bus where you may or may not have a seat. On the Skyliner everyone will sit.While I’ve personally never been herded into a loaded Skyliner like an end-of-the-night Monorail car, I’m sure that 8(-10? if some are children) person gondolas happen for the after-Luminous crowd.
We had Beaches & Cream reservations for 9:30pm I believe, and we walked past a Skyliner line that stretched all the way from the station to just before the Beach Club building. I love the Skyliner but that was a little eye-opening![]()
We use the Skyliner for a short break if we're at EPCOT or HS. Just get on and do a round trip. Rest our legs and take a relaxing break. Do the same thing with the PeopleMover in MK.I enjoy the ride on the Skyliner more than I do a few of the actual attractions.
