Walt Disney World is again providing guests with ample notice of the pending closure of its Skyliner transportation system. The 2028 closure will run from January 24 to February 2, 2028.
Disney's Skyliner opened in 2019. It connects both EPCOT and Disney's Hollywood Studios to at least six resorts including three Disney Vacation Club properties. DVC resorts in close proximity to Skyliner stations are Disney's Riviera Resort, Disney's Beach Club Villas and Disney's BoardWalk Inn & Villas. Also located along the Skyliner route are Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort, Disney's Pop Century Resort and Disney's Art of Animation Resort.
During the scheduled downtime, bus service will be offered from Riviera to both EPCOT and Hollywood Studios. BoardWalk and Beach Club guests will have the option of walking to both theme parks or using the Friendship boat service.
Dates for the 2027 closure were also announced more than a year in advance, planned for the period of January 24th through the 30th.
