The Disney Skyliner gondola transportation system has been under construction for over a year and is expected to open this fall.
Last week, guests may have noticed that some of the gondolas for the Disney Skyliner have been installed. Disney has begun preliminary testing in anticipation of the grand opening this fall.
This gondola transportation system will connect Disney’s Hollywood Studios and EPCOT to the four surrounding Disney resorts – Disney’s Art of Animation Resort, Disney’s Pop Century Resort, Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort, and the upcoming Disney’s Riviera Resort.
