Any hints out there about when it will start?
I am so over the top excited about this skyliner! I hope it’s wheelchair accessible. I can still walk, but only for short distances, so I’d leave my power chair behind and go for a round trip ride if they’d let me. If not I’ll just go by bus!
Melissa: No new info that we’ve seen! The general consensus seems to be sometime in mid- to late-2019. Hopefully they’ll announce a solid timeline at some point.
Will guests be able to walk from the Skyliner station at Epcot to the Monorail Station?
Will skyline only be accessible if you stay in those resorts or can anyone ride them to the parks? Just curious.
Mark, we’ll have to see if ridership is regulated at all when it opens, but my guess would be that the Skyliner will be available to more than just the resort guests.
Al, it looks like guests would have to walk through the park and out the front gate of Epcot to access the Monorail. We’ll have to see how it all works out when it opens, though.
OH YEH!! SUPER STOKED!!!
Will the Skyliner be wheelchair accessible?
Beth, we haven’t heard either way yet.
How many people can one gondola hold?
Jan, that’s not been announced yet. We’re watching closely for details!
