A brand new transportation system is coming to the Walt Disney World Resort to add even more magic to your future vacation experiences. Bob Chapek, Chairman of Walt Disney Parks & Resorts just announced that the Disney Skyliner will soon give guests a bird’s-eye view of Walt Disney World Resort.

The transportation system will connect Disney’s Art of Animation, Pop Century and Caribbean Beach resorts and other locations with Disney’s Hollywood Studios and the International Gateway at Epcot. And many of the gondolas with Disney Skyliner will feature favorite Disney characters.

Another new transportation service featuring vehicles themed to the one-and-only Minnie Mouse was also announced during the Walt Disney Parks and Resorts presentation at D23 Expo 2017.

“Since we’re all about exceeding guest expectations and making every aspect of your vacation uniquely Disney, we’re creating a new point-to-point transportation service in a way that only Disney can do,” Bob said.

The Minnie vehicles will take you everywhere you want to go at the Walt Disney World Resort, and you’ll ride in Minnie’s classic style.

  • Sarah–as far as I know, one of the big reasons for investing in this mode of transportation is that it IS ev/wheelchair/stroller accessible. The cars land flush with the load platform so there is no need for a ramp or other apparatus to assist the loading of an EV/wheelchair/stroller. They are used around the world at ski resorts/mountain tourist destinations with great success. I’m looking forward to it!

  • This is such a cool idea; can’t wait to try it out.

  • How great!! It will be a fun experience like the boats or monorail!! A fun way to ride , instead of the bus, which are appreciated, but not as exciting!

  • Will these new transportation options be Accessible?
