The gondola transportation system is closed from January 16 through January 21, 2024. Disney Skyliner service to and from Disney's Riviera Resort and International Gateway at EPCOT will remain closed through January 27, 2024. Bus service will be available at the resorts served by Disney Skyliner.

Disney Skyliner closed for a similar amount of time in early 2022 and 2023, and reopened a few days ahead of schedule.

Yes

DHoyJan 27, 2024

Are all lines open?

TouchdownJan 26, 2024

It’s open

TouchdownJan 26, 2024

Check the thread, it’s open till 9pm. Lines are long.

JohnDJan 26, 2024

Have you already gone to CBJ? Going there later? If so, could you post anything you know on that thread?

TouchdownJan 26, 2024

Will be heading that way soon, I’ll post once I get there.

wdwmagicJan 26, 2024

Looks like the Epcot line has reopened early today, can anyone confirm?

And they commit to it very well. WDW sometimes will just scrap a refurb completely. Proactive vs reactive in many cases.

TrainsOfDisneyJan 24, 2024

Oh I get why the whole line needs to be down, but the way it’s worded would lead you to believe that you can ride from Caribbean Beach to Epcot.

JoeCamelJan 24, 2024

Don't know but they are resplicing the cables or shortening them so it would follow the whole line is down

TrainsOfDisneyJan 24, 2024

Strange way of wording that closure then - correct?

TouchdownJan 24, 2024

Correct

yellowbJan 24, 2024

Sounds like the only lines up are CB to HS and CB to AoA/PC.

TrainsOfDisneyJan 24, 2024

“From January 16, 2024 through January 21, 2024, Disney Skyliner will be closed for routine maintenance. Disney Skyliner service to and from Disney’s Riviera Resort and International Gateway at EPCOT will remain closed through January 27, 2024. “ So is the skyliner running to Epcot and just not stopping at Riviera? Or is the entire line from Riviera to Epcot not operating? I’m a bit confused.
