Skyliner ride just to try it out

[cindy17]

We will be staying at OKW mid september but would like to try out the Skyliner at some point during our stay. Would it be possible to pick it up after our Epcot day, take it to HS then take the bus to OKW? Any suggestions are welcome thx!

 

[OKW Lover]

Yes, you could do that.

 

[Pixie Dusted Dee]

Yes that's fine.
Anyone can use the Skyliner.

The only issue: Will Skyliner allow Guests to board at CBR for Studios after park closing? Anybody have post-reopening experience with that?

The Skyliner has CBR as the hub. Pop/AoA line, HS line, Riviera/Epcot line all connect at CBR. You have to disembark at CBR and pick what line you want. They shutdown the Skyliner for lighting so sometimes you can’t guarantee it’s will be running in the evenings especially with the Florida weather.


You could just leave through the IG gate, get on the Skyliner to CBR , get off and get back on going the other direction back to Epcot in the middle of your Epcot day and then renter Epcot at IG.

You would take the Skyliner from Epcot, it makes a turn at the Rivera Resort, (so don't get off), and then goes on to the CBR hub. (get off there) You then take the Skyliner to DHS. It is a straight
shot. Obviously keep an eye on the park hours, but the trip is definitely doable without too much muss or fuss.

We rode the skyline just for the fun of it! Got off at Rivera to walk around, got off at Epcot to go to Boardwalk. Well worth your time. Fun and relaxing

Something else we found; We stayed at BLT and the buses were a mess getting to Epcot one morning. Walk to MK, get on a Riviera bus, take the skyliner. For some reason Rivera seems to have a lot more buses. That's not going to help you get a ROTR boarding pass, but better than standing around waiting for overfull buses at CR.

I wanted to ride all skyline loops to just see what I could see. My significant other had no interest but with compromise said he would give one loop a try. We ended up taking all the loops and really enjoyed seeing all the interesting views. Going back in January and we have already decided to take one afternoon to do "gondola travel" and resort exploration depending on what is open.

We are staying off-property later this month, but wanted to potentially ride the Skyliner on the day before we hit the parks. Do you think we will be allowed to park at CBR for just an hour or two?

You will not be allowed entry to CBR without a room reservation or an ADR I’m afraid...

No, if you don't have an AP, you'll need to park at DS and take a bus to a Skyliner resort to avoid a parking fee.

Is this permitted? Was worried that with the strain on transportation due to Covid they might be checking Magic bands or key cards?

Yes, this is permitted. They are not checking MagicBands or anything else.

Although permitted it is not suggested. The parking garages are for Disney Springs visitors.
