Disney Skyliner Refurb 2025

Probably the same as asking as asking a chatty bus driver. We know how accurate that is.

Yep still going to ask

Yup. (No offense to my brothers and sisters). But you need something to do to make your day interesting. lol.

Yup, if I didn't have a small child that eats approximately 62459 snacks/day, and therefore makes having a fridge a top priority, swolphin seems like a safe bet. I made a ridiculous number of charts doing cost comparison between dolphin, swan, boardwalk, bc&yc. There's still some hotel availability for beach and yacht club for my dates and I assume folks aren't booking it as much due to the refurb.

Swan and Dolphin have true mini fridges rather than the beverage coolers that Disney owned resorts are going to.

So just a question, I’m curious, Where do people stay when the SL is down for maintenance and why?
Do they stay in another mod.? Which they may like better and take a bus.
Do they stay at the AllStars, less money and take a bus.
Do they stay deluxe and take a bus to two parks and not four?

I'm still staying at Pop, although I do try to avoid the traditional shutdown week(s) if our schedules allow. The increased cost for an Epcot resort is just too much. It's a lot cheaper to just budget in a couple Lyfts for when we want to enter/exit from IG or get lunch from Riviera. Bus service is fine for the other parks.

Well, Topolino's is down from 1/12-1/25 and still no skyliner announcement. Interesting.

That would more or less align with Skyliner closure dates in the past, so it is quite curious.

You can change resorts within the cancellation period, so no, people aren’t locked into a Skyliner resort.

I thought people with packages can not modify if they're within 30 days.

January is looking to be hot because there's limited availability so it may be harder to change

Still no announcement!! Come on now.

No,/ guests with packages can modify / change resorts or even cancel within 30 days. It is just the cancellation fee that you would be required to pay for a package.

I brought up the terms & conditions on a current package offer. States changes made within 30 days are subject to a $50 change fee. I haven’t ever read anyone actually getting charged that, especially if the change is to a higher cost resort or dates.

That last week in January looks like it's going to be crowded.

Very doubtful to a higher priced package.

 

[SL6827]

If people are gonna shell out the $$$$ for Disney now, they are not wanting to pay those prices and have the horrific heat to deal with.

I know. And that's our week. We specifically chose that week due to all the crowd calendars out there showing low crowds. Boy, are they proving to be wrong in 2025

I really think that people are not going to suffer in the heat and pay Disney pricing. They may need to cut prices even further in the future with the temps in the summer. It would have to be free for me.

From personal experience, the end of January hasn’t been slow in years. We stayed at POR the last week in January in 2018. The hotel was full, the parks were moderately busy. Definitely not low crowds or quiet. The food court at POR was full every morning. People were walking around with their trays of food looking for a table. It seemed to be mostly families too, not sports or school groups.

 

[SL6827]

It seemed busy this past January, but not extremely busy.

 

[FairyGodmother00]

I'm hopeful that it's not too crazy busy

Interesting. The website says $50 fee if within 30 days for packages
