Sooooo....any news or rumors on expansion?

For starters, you won't be able to ride them for the last 6 days of January next year.

Nope. Not a whiff of rumor.

I have a vague memory of a Disney podcaster (think it was Disney Dish) briefly mentioning a little while back the expansion plan would be to DS and require crossing over some Bonnet Creek territory owned by people Disney rather tried for very long to screw over so it’s basically guaranteed never gonna happen.

In recent months, I’ve occasionally read rumors of Skyliner expansion from DHS across World Drive to CSR, AK, AKL, and the All Stars, including a diagram map showing the potential route. And I remember when the Skyliner was under construction pre-Covid reading that such an expansion was in the long range plans, but of course many pre-Covid plans seem to have been shelved. So it might happen, might not!

A widescale expansion of the Skyliner system was never going to happen - it’s just not realistic in Florida. The system goes down way too often… which means that Disney would have find other ways to move people. Maintaining a fleet of busses and drivers for those brief periods make it nothing more than fantasy. Not to mention other logistical challenges in 5+ mile lines.

Bottom line - Disney built out the system they wanted.
