Skyliner FROM HS to Epcot- how early?

[SugarSweetLee]

How early is the Skyliner running return (boardable) trips from HS to the Epcot station? Just wondering if I can park at HS around opening and then take the skyliner over to Epcot (2-3 hrs before that park opens) to eat and shop in Boardwalk area before an Epcot park day.

I saw someone else post about skylining to BW to eat about 90 mins before EP open. They weren’t allowed to board until they showed the CM the ADR at BW. It seems like that plan may work.

But I’m not sure how early the full line starts running.

Even if the Skyliner isn‘t running, you could always walk to boardwalk from HS. But just remember, the only things open on BW are the bakery, pizza window, Trattoria al Forno, and screendoor shop. Everything else is still closed. So not much to keep you busy for 2-3 hours.

Skyliner line to epcot doesn't board until 30 min prior to park opening.
The real from DHS to the Boardwalk area is less than 10 minutes

I was thinking of arriving for food around 8:30/9ish, when EP has an official opening of 11, which I understand would unofficially be in the 1030ish area...so really only 1.5-2 hrs to kill, part of which would be dining. I do know that we can walk, just wondered about the Skyliner option since we enjoy it

Thanks, that helps...so Skyliner would board at 10:30 for an 11am official EP open time?

The most recent experience post I’ve seen was a person who had a Mobile Order at BW Bakery. CM told them Skyliner wasn’t boarding yet for EP but the guest showed them their reservation and they were allowed to ride over. Not sure how early this is possible though.
