Skyliner Closure Dates

Disney’s Skyliner will be closed for annual refurbishment soon. If you’ll be visiting Walt Disney World at the end of this month, check out the closure dates and temporary bus transportation options below.

Closure Dates: The Skyliner will be closed from Sunday, January 25, 2026 through Saturday, January 31, 2026. The Skyliner will reopen on Sunday, February 1, 2026.

Impacted Resorts: 

• Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort
• Disney’s Art of Animation Resort
• Disney’s BoardWalk Inn
• Disney’s Pop Century Resort
• Disney’s Riviera Resort
• Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club Resorts

Alternate Transportation: Bus service will be available for EPCOT and Hollywood Studios for the same resorts listed above. If you’re in World Showcase and want to head to an EPCOT resort but don’t feel like going all the way to the main entrance – that’s the only place to catch a bus from EPCOT – walking from the International Gateway between the U.K and France Pavilions will be your best bet. Below are some very detailed walking guides and times from an article by Erin Foster.
