Skyliner questions

[cgattis]

HS- Uber to Speedway and walk.- (not telling my husband that we are going to do this, lol.)

Sounds exactly like what I’d do... No need to give him time to overthink it LOL And honestly, this exact thing made me change to the Dolphin for our next trip (saving about $150/night in the process). I adore AoA but that was hard to argue with.

I am going to show a video of it being done to my daughter the night before we go to HS and then I am gonna record us doing it on my phone to show my husband when we get home, lol.

This Skyliner situation is far more complicated that what I realized, and I rode it numerous times this past October. But, I didn't ride it during peak times.

This may not be what you're looking for, but from where the Skyliner gets off by the International Gateway outside EPCOT you can also walk through the boardwalk, by the Dolphin and Swan, and down alongside the river to Hollywood Studios. It's a decent trek (probably 20 minutes or so) but it's a nice walk and simpler and more reliable than Disney transportation sometimes!

I love this walk even when alone. Very safe except one time walking under the overpass I did see a "nice" five or six foot snake. Yikes!! He decided the sun was not worth if when I made a bit of noise and off he went. Alson to note: This walk is very well lit at night.

From dhs you exit at cbr and then take the epcot line

Which seems like “the long way” to me

There's no other way via skyliner. The entire trip takes less than 15 minutes

Yes. And at 15 minutes I guess it is faster than walking. How does it compare to the friendship boats we have taken in the past?

I googled a skyliner map. Below is the loooog link to cut and paste.

About the same time if the boat is at the dock when you get there

Sorry to jump on an older thread but was hoping someone could answer this. I want to be sure about this before attempting. We do NOT have park tickets but wanted to visit Pop gift shop and the Boardwalk area. Can I park at Boardwalk, then walk over to Epcot and board the skyliner to Pop?

No. To park at a resort, you need to have a restaurant reservation. Your best bet would be to park at HS and catch the skyliner there. You can also park at DS and take a bus to Pop or any other skyliner resort.

Thank you! If I made a reservation and are at one of the Boardwalk restaurant to eat then I could pull this plan off, correct?

It might be possible but please be respectful of people who actually paid to stay at the BWI/BWV and need that parking...

Disney Springs is a better choice. I would take the bus to Pop and ride the Skyliner to BW area.

You can park at Boardwalk if you have a reservation there, yes. Technically I believe it’s a 3 hour time limit.

Right now Boardwalk Inn is closed. At least the hotel portion. So the parking lot is mostly empty.

Yes, you could. Yacht Club and Beach Club are also options for reservations. I think they limit dining parking to 3 hours. I don’t know if they really enforce it though or how they could, unless you parked overnight.

Thank you all! Big River Grille was on our list to try, so I think that will be the plan now. There’s also a big possibility DH chickens out on the skyliner and we wind up not going
