Disney Skyliner at EPCOT (International Gateway) — Local services in Bay Lake

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Most Magical Way to Enter EPCOT – Through the Sky!

The International Gateway Skyliner station is one of the most scenic and peaceful transportation spots on Walt Disney World property. It connects EPCOT to Riviera Resort, Caribbean Beach, and beyond — including Art of Animation and Pop Century (with one transfer).

If you’re staying at a Skyliner resort or just park-hopping, this is a beautiful and convenient way to glide into EPCOT. You arrive near the UK Pavilion in World Showcase, which is a quieter and more relaxed entrance compared to the main gates.

✨ What to Know: • This is the end of the line, so there’s usually no wait to exit. • The ride in offers stunning views of the BoardWalk, Yacht & Beach Club, and the World Showcase lagoon. • Security and ticketing lines at International Gateway are way shorter than the main entrance. • It’s stroller and wheelchair friendly with helpful Cast Members always nearby.

🎡 Pro Tip: If you’re leaving EPCOT after Harmonious or Luminous, expect a bit of a line — but it’s constantly moving, and honestly, watching the lit-up gondolas at night is part of the experience.

This entrance really feels like a VIP back door into the magic. Quiet, scenic, and a breeze...

I'll start with saying that as a method of transportation, it is great. It moves people, efficiently, where they want and need to go. Even if there is a line, it will move at good pace and you will soon be on the Skyliner.

However, my four star rating is due to the fact that, once on, I felt sick to my stomach. It is not the Skyliners fault, per se, it is doing it's job and functioning the way it is supposed to function. It's a me problem, but, had I known how I was going to feel when on it, I wouldn't have ridden it. I think my main issues is the initial 'take off' from the station. The upward swoop that is speeding up, just tickled my nausea nerve the wrong way I guess and I was green the entire ride. Even after getting off and sitting for a few minutes didn't help. Half an hour later I was finally feeling better enough to go on rides and enjoy my day.

I tried again a different day, same result, so it wasn't a fluke, just me. So, if you are reading this, and you either get motion sick, or you tend to avoid more intense rides, you may want to avoid the Skyliner too. Or give it a try once and see how you do. It is a very efficient method of...

The Disney Skyliner in my opinion is the most efficient way to move between Disney resorts and parks. Is fast (you do not have to wait in line for so long), is super comfortable and the views from the gondolas are amazing 😍 If you are staying in the Disney Resorts, this is your way of transportation, forget about the buses; and if your are visiting (not staying in their hotels) you can try it out because is free and not reserved just for Disney Guests. Beautiful rides, 100%...
