With the opening of the Disney Skyliner under two weeks away, on Sunday 29th September, Disney has revealed our first look onboard the new transportation system.
The very brief promotional clip gives us a glimpse at some of the unique sites and perspectives that travelling in one of 300 gondola cabins will provide.

Now when this system was first announced, many were dubious over the accessibility and ease of use of a gondola system would have, but as we can see in the below image, it will be even easier than getting on and off a bus or monorail with a stroller. And for those using ECVs, there will be two separate cabins in an individual load bay that will feed directly into the main line.

Overall, I feel that this is going to be a huge success for park hopping efficiency and maximising the most out of your Disney vacation, with the system likely to be expanded within the coming years. And of course, I’ll be there to cover it all on DSNY Newscast when the Disney Skyliner opens on 29th September 2019.
