Warning: New Disney Skyliner Closure Announced

Disney transportation is a big perk for Walt Disney World Resort guests. Check out the dates for this transportation closure.

Disney World Transportation

There are many differing opinions on transportation options, largely depending upon which Disney Resort you are staying at and also which Park you will be visiting.

The Walt Disney World Resort is HUGE, and many questions revolve around what is the quickest mode of transportation to arrive at each Park. 

Some guests choose their Disney resort based on transportation options, particularly with resorts along the monorail loop and the Disney Skyliner.

Since the Disney Skyliner opened in September 2019, it has closed every January for a brief refurbishment.During this time, the Disney Skyliner remains fully closed.

For 2025, there was not a routine refurbishment closure in January. This had us worried that a refurbishment may be needed when higher crowds arrive at Walt Disney World or that technical difficulties may affect guests' travel plans aboard the Disney Skyliner.

Earlier, Disney announced a closure for Disney's Skyliner beginning January 25-31, 2026. This announcement allows guests planning to stay at Disney's Skyliner Resorts time to make changes to their travel plans.

New Disney Skyliner Closure

Walt Disney World just announced that the Disney Skyliner will be closed for a brief refurbishment from January 24-30, 2027.

The Disney Skyliner will close January 24-30, 2027.

During this time, the Disney Skyliner remains fully closed.  Additional buses will be available at the Skyliner Resorts to allow Guests transportation to both Hollywood Studios and EPCOT.
