We’re almost halfway through September, which means the opening date for Disney World’s Skyliner Gondola System is almost here! The new transportation system will connect Epcot and Disney’s Hollywood Studios with several Disney World resorts.
Pop Century Skyliner Construction
Thanks to a member of our extended DFB family, we learned that Disney World Cast Members will get an opportunity to preview the Skyliner before it opens to the public on September 29th.
Cast Members who work at Disney’s Hollywood Studios will get the first opportunity to test the Skyliner, and all Disney World Cast Members will have the chance to take a test flight on a later date.
