The Disney Skyliner Temp Closure - Let’s Take a FULL Ride! Fun Facts, Art of Animation, Riviera&more

Join me for a grand tour of the Disney Skyliner updated for 2024, right before it closes temporarily for an extended, planned maintenance in January. Riding the entire Skyliner line, all lines, all stations, and exploring parks and resorts on the Skyliner route! We explore Skyliner resorts including Art of Animation, Riviera Resort, checking out shops, art and lobbies, and enjoy a toasty, cozy lunch at EPCOT and more. I also share fun facts, tips, interesting bits of history and information all along the way! Plus we have some laughs, check out the shops, see specialty resort merchandise and brand new Valentine's Day merch too. All while staying warm and cozy on a cold, rainy day in Florida, where it's still just beautiful and lovely - riding The Most Magical Flight on Earth, gliding over Hourglass Lake, the headwaters of the Everglades, and taking in gorgeous views from high in the sky above Walt Disney World!

[@SuperEnthused]

Enjoy the Most Magical Flight on Earth with me! ✨ Here's our full stay at POP Century as promised: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHKXq6OImtpjsKs

[@SandraLovesSun]

Thanks for doing this! I will be there next week when it is down. The Disney website's wording is confusing - it does not say AND Epcot like the sandwich board does so for new people it is a little confusing it just says Riveria. After looking at a map, though, I get it. Will take a boat from Boardwalk to HS on our HS day.

[@jennaandreadabao4434]

Happy January today not so sunny out just a gray clouds I hope might not rain 🌧️☔🌧️ or eles take cover do some inside dark water relax ride with me this year this is Jenna Dabao had a fun Disney day

[@tdhunter1247]

I play this video at least twice a week while I’m working. It’s so relaxing to me lol

[@mackenseykubina2931]

My 4yo is obsessed with your video. This is his #1 Disney attraction so your video is seriously helping with his withdrawals between visits. Thank you for a very skyliner heavy video from one very happy little guy! He also loves to point out that you are always smiling 🥰 love your positivity!

[@EpcotCenter1982]

We rode the Skyliner when it first opened coming back from Epcot after closing. They filled each cab to capacity. Our cab was so full that the last guy in had to partially sit on my lap. They shut our door and instead of us just going, they stopped it and checked our weight. My claustrophobia clicked in as the cab started to fog up. It was a miserable ride. Then when we got to the Riviera, we came in so hard that a lady screamed. The next night they had a crash at the same Riviera Station. I was so happy to hear that they were doing single party rides after Covid.

[@ginajordan8844]

I wish they would change how hard you come in at pop century/art of animation resort

[@ginajordan8844]

At the same time scary

[@melissahancock6804]

My husband and I are going next month to stay at Saratoga and not do the parks… just resort hop, sit by the pool, eat and shop at Disney Springs and we were going to use the Skyliner to get our “fix” for rides so this video title wasn’t fun to see… until I saw you show it reopens on the 27th!! Phew!!! 😂😂😂

[@JoyBean]

What a fun ride you took. Those do like they might be kind of fun and so interesting that you got the little pods all to yourself.

[@robinhorvath6702]

My husband has that skyliner sound for one of his notifications. So I hear It all the time. It's great. So I feel like I am on the skyliner lol.

[@Wiki024]

Wait how do you do that I wanna know 😂

[@ZzimmyZee]

I love hopping on the Skyliner. It’s a good time to relax (esp if you get one all by yourself). But I have also met some really great people when we have shared a gondola.

[@darylturcott]

I was skeptical, but we all love the skyliner. We got upgraded to AOA on our 2021 trip for the 50th. The family suites are so nice. They have regular rooms too that are not much more than the other values. I agree the themeing is so good. Especially the main pool and cars land.

[@bradythompson5690]

Pop century is one of my favorite resorts to stay at. It’s amazing, the theming and food court is one of the best I’ve seen at Disney.

[@NessieMay]

Love the Skyliner, such a fun and quick way to get around. 👍

[@elmorefamilyadventures4453]

You always have the best Skyliner vlogs Jackie! We can't wait to go back and do another Skyliner crawl, seriously some of the best resorts, food, and drinks!!

[@quantumquestions5849]

I rode this when winds were coming in from hurricane Ian 😂😂😂we got stuck on the skyliner way up actually from Hollywood studios until the wind calmed . They shut it down after that until it was safe😂 such fun.

[@HareLife]

I LOVE the skyliner, i too just enjoy riding on it even if not going to anywhere in particular x

[@chrislong5416]

When we there, I spent every morning drinking coffee, having a smoke, and watching the Skyliner. By the fourth day, we had made our own little group of 'outcasts'. I met a lot of people from all over the country. It was great. I guess they take the screen down in the winter. That is one of those pools that show movies every night.

[@JustAlanDoingAlanThings]

Theres Frost in the UK, time to watch a nice warm Florida vlog, and oh, well the weather wasnt warm n cozy but the host was as usual. I have plans to do this myself during my imminent visit.

[@nicollevandyke5950]

How lovely to take a Skyliner trip today, I so needed it. During my 2022 trip, I spent an afternoon riding the whole route and visited Resorts, I normally would never have been to. It always seems like the Skyliner comes in hot for a landing before stopping.

[@WiseYoungBabyGrogu]

Can’t wait to try the skyliner. For the first time this year

[@optimusfuturistX]

Ahh yes…. Totally doing a skyliner tour during mickeys Christmas 🎉

[@whobdis77]

We were over on Sunday..unbeknown to us we were blacked out due to MLK weekend. No matter...I've watched plenty of doll face (an old term you kids wouldn't know) videos and have some ideas. So we used Disney transportation to check out some resorts. I tried to find that spot where you and Sam watched the fireworks at contemporary but no luck. Plenty of other spots though. We took the skyliner from just outside Epcot to the studios just to see how it was. It was kind of fun..different view of the area. A couple told us they were at Riviera and said we should check it out but didn't have time. Finished the night at Splitsville outside to watch the game. At least until my wife couldn't handle the 'frigid' 50 degree temps. Thanks as always for providing the info and entertainment (even the singing!)

[@amydoran9987]

My husband and I rode the Skyliner at night in November, from Epcot to the art of animation. It was amazing.This was our first trip staying at the suites at Art of Animation.

[@thecnnrfamily1417]

Always our family’s favorite, we’re enjoying a day off with a winter storm but staying warm riding the Skyliner with Miss enthused. We love how warm and real you are and we always learn new things watching your vlogs.

[@SuperEnthused]

I appreciate you and your family so much and hope you’re staying warm and cozy inside!

[@staciewing2827]

You are a mind reader! In 15 days, the plan is to Skyline to Epcot for the first time! Whoo-hoo!! Thank you soooo much for showing this! Yay!!! What a super day you had!

[@susandemaree5477]

I love the skyliner.

[@Yey1nasJourneys]

Jackie, girl, ((hugs)). Thank you for the virtual ride - and doing it despite the discomfort of being in heights. Love ya sweet lady and your videos/vlogs.

[@nancyannrhinehart4718]

The Skyliner reminds me of when DSNYLND/CA had the Sky buckets which went to Fantasyland to Tomorrowland. The Matterhorn was built around the Sky buckets going through it. Thank you, as always, Jackie for taking us all on a memorable field trip.

[@HyphenDude]

Caribbean Beach in the Jamaican area is my favorite Skyliner resort, but Pop is a very close second. Haha, when you turned around and looked at the pool over Caribbean Beach, that was the building I was in last time I was there. So convenient to the front, to the Skyliner, and to the buses.

[@dizneytink]

riding to epcot during their fireworks and seeing them from the skyliner is the best!

[@SuzanneA618]

This was a great idea for a video❤ I think something like can be really intimidating for tourists who have never done it. This really gives viewers a good idea of how the system functions, how beneficial it is, and it helps people that do have a fear of heights decide whether this is something they can even do💜

[@acosta5705]

The Skyliner is one of my favorite "rides" 😊 My family laughs at me, but it's so peaceful ! Our home resort is Pop Century and we just love it!

[@ginatownsend9669]

I love the Skyliner!! Wouldn't want to stay without it! It is a ride in itself, and we do ride it just to ride!❤😊

[@craigbfd1]

Thanks Jackie!! We love the skyliner too❤

[@christinasporer2812]

This was great! Made me feel like I was "home"

[@nancyinsinga4607]

Amazing video love the skyliner stayed at Art of Animation for years in a family suite thanks for sharing many memories

[@scotthorvath9988]

We love the Skyliner. You're right it is more than transportation. Truly is an attraction. The info they give is cool. Thnkx for sharing.

[@stratdx]

What an absolute cutie. That aside, I loved every second of the multiple rides I took on the Skyliner. I’m going back on 2/8, and I can’t wait to ride around in the sky some more. The views are incredible.

[@alexblatchford4147]

Jackie the day we were there in EPCOT it was pouring and they closed the skyliner only to find out when we got to the entrance that skyliner was open again! We stayed at the POP Century

[@Jsteng08]

Jackie when I saw this video pop up.I was like yes.The Skyliner is my favorite transportation.Its so peaceful ridding it Sometimes I’ll go out of my way just to ride it

[@Dolcevita_bakes]

Glad this will be open by the time we arrive in February.. I heard this closed on my birthday! The 16th!

[@SuperEnthused]

Happy early birthday!! I’m glad too!

[@leonmalett4189]

Thank You for the tour stayed at all the value resorts and Pop Century is my go to

[@nataliewingate6475]

We LOVED AoA when the kids were little. The suites were great. Love La Petite Cafe, my favorite little treat place to go to. Every time hubby and I do our trip sans kids, we do a new resort. In April it's going to be Coronado for my favorite festival Flower and Garden. We hope to run into you!

[@That_Boris_Guy]

Today was a perfect day to share this, I don’t think the weather was great anywhere.

[@scotthorvath9988]

I love the way the AoA landscaping matches the different bldgs. The Pop is our favorite. 6 straight times.. Same bldg every time. Some trips it took a little while to get a room. However cast members came thru every time. Love the cast members.

[@annadekraker1358]

So awesome you got a empty sky liner cart!! It makes it so much relaxing and quiet!! I love the Art of Animation Hotel!! I really like the finding Nemo hotel. It’s so cute with all the ocean theme around it it really does make you feel like you’re in the ocean!! France in Epcot looks so pretty with all the old architecture of the buildings! The café you went to looks so cute and all the sandwiches and croissants looked so yummy!! so glad you had a great time even though it was a rainy day!! I love your Mickey Disneyland sweatshirt. It’s so cute!! 😊❤️❤️😊❤️❤️

[@Juslovdisney]

Love the Skyliner!

[@jarinielsenmusiclab]

Hey Jackie good vlog and thank you and keep up the good you do love jarl ❤❤❤❤

[@SamanthaFl]

That was a fun ride from one place to another just exploring and park hopping.

[@Thotrock08]

We were there for a long weekend and got to be part of your magic in a quick cameo. Great content.

[@jg_in_hd]

We usually stay at Caribbean Beach because of the Skyliner access the kids see it as another ride

[@SuperEnthused]

I totally see it as another ride too!

[@sjdavanzo]

Back in the day, with 3 kids, the AoA family suite was a big plus for us; 2 bathrooms? sold! At the time my oldest was very into Cars, so the choice was obvious. Look forward to video of your stay!

[@robertknapp6437]

Great job Jackie my daughter and I rode the Skyline last month it was our first time. Thanks for staying positive. Unlike the Wright Down Nain Street one

[@plannerbrittany]

I loved the jofferys by the skyliner! I tried the skyliner flight coffee & took it on the skyliner!

[@chaderbox1046]

What a fun idea! Cool backpack too.

[@pattikorzelius1630]

Loved this. Cannot wait to go back in November

[@ohorlando1187]

We stayed at Caribbean Beach last year in “Aruba” it was right next to the Riviera Skyliner station. Absolute game changer of a holiday. 2 mins walk for skyliner and fab snacks!

[@HyphenDude]

Your first ride reminded me of when I was there during Covid, having your own gondola. It was kinda nice.

[@BobbyV78]

We had some fun memories when we stayed at pop on July 2023. What a fun ride of its own. It was amazing. We want to stay at art of animation on year. Yea it’s a little scary when you are riding above water….and when it comes to stopping it almost seems like you are going to hit the other bucket lol.

[@vickiemendoza9252]

It was a pleasure meeting you the other day ( at EPCOT passholder merch kiosk) You're so friendly and kind! 💜

[@kerrieparrish2764]

My family stayed at The Art of Animation in December of 2022. It was wonderful for all of us! The food and service were great! You need to try it!

[@StephenYoung-iq7qg]

You definitely need to stay at the car's themed resort had a fun time watching the video have a blessed and wonderful day. 😎👏

[@dkylewhitley]

I loved this! We stayed at Art of Animation for the first time this past December and loved it! I would have loved some extra time to just walk all around and take it all in. I look forward to see a future vlog of your stay there! Also, we all loved the Skyliner and how easy it made it to get to Hollywood Studios and Epcot and how fast we could get to them.

[@christmascarol1264]

Loved this one, Jackie! We are definitely going to follow your path soon!🥰

[@janetd57]

Loved your POV of the Skyliner! We enjoy riding all the different lines as if they were an attraction. Well, I guess they are! Heading up in February, so hopefully they will reopen it on time. 🤞

[@jeanniehuskins6218]

I love the Skyliner but I don’t think I could ride it solo. Kudos to you!

[@doc2w534]

I’ve only been on the Riviera/Epcot line. Now I want to do a whole Skyliner resort tour. I opened Pop Century on the Front Desk team so it always holds good memories. Though sad they removed the unique theming in each room when they renovated to the new modern interiors.

[@mr_gilder]

Thanks Jackie, we stayed at Pop over Christmas so watching this and hearing all the Skyliner sounds is bringing back lots of great memories

[@LeanneNorris-y5j]

I really Enjoyed ive never been on the sky liner i dont enjoy height but i think i would enjoy that the views were beautiful

[@KittKat07]

Would love to see a vlog just following you about town, errands, etc. It would be a nice addition amongst the theme-park content. As always, thank you for sharing your day.

[@tracymacarthur5699]

I rode the skylyner for the first time in 2022 and got really sick, but I still enjoyed it

[@simongraham556]

Love the Skyliner. I prefer a non-themed gondola now as you can see out of the windows better. Definitely agree about the hotel theming - the newest hotels don’t have the same Disney feel as much. Pop and Animation are great resorts. The Cars suites are amazing.

[@emilyfrumker9527]

I did this in 2022 when I couldn’t get into the parks and it was a lot of fun and I stayed at art of animation little mermaid room last sept it was amazing felt like a little kid

[@shawnsmith5498]

The most magical thing at Disney is you. Thank you again. Love you Jackie ❤❤❤

[@Tyi-qr8de]

Beautiful voice you have.

[@amandabuchanan6261]

Perfect timing! I’m heading to Universal for my 40th with my best friend but couldn’t bring myself to skip Disney all together. Want to see some resorts I’ve never visited, ride the skyliner and hit up Disney Springs. I was worried it was going to be closed while I was there at the start of your video but it looks like we’re in the clear. Thanks!

[@MommyNancy1979]

I love this video ❤ Would love to see you explore other hotels.

[@Kevinm.9000]

I like how you say the date at the beginning of the vlogs

[@rmartin2819]

The humming is great idea! You have a beautiful humming voice too ❤❤!

[@karppadiem7014]

Love the skyliner! Thanks for taking us along for all of the beautiful views. Better than the ridiculous winter storm outside my window right now. Roads aren't bad but there are 6 foot snow drifts between our car and the road. 😳🙄❄️ - western NY Aimee

[@SuperEnthused]

Im hearing about these winter storms and they sound so scary! Stay safe and inside and hopefully the Skyliner ride makes u feel like you’re riding along with me, Aimee!

[@Dauwis]

Happy New Year !

[@tomklock568]

The heights of riding on that thing might bother me but I would be, well, fairly nervous about going over the water like that! And it would be worse with a crammed full cabin like someone posted below! Ha ha. Thanks for sharing the journey with us!

[@HyphenDude]

In case you didn't know, for future reference, you can get the Croque Monsieur at Riviera Resort in Primo Piatto. It is so delicious, especially with the Romano and herb fries.

[@SuperEnthused]

I didn’t know, thank you!!!

[@keyman6689]

Mmm, Les Halles! Good choice! But you missed out on the Framboise. If you like raspberries, it's a must! It is my favorite thing I've ever put in my mouth. It wows me every time. They didn't have it after the pandemic with their limited menu. So glad to see it's back!

[@trinamiller100]

Can’t believe Disney Skyliner is getting a refurbishment. I love riding in Disney Skyliner virtually with you since I didn’t make a trip to Orlando. Once I’m in Orlando, we’ll have a meetup.

[@Billyvan21]

Next time I plan a trip to WDW, I'm for sure adding the Skyliner to my list and I just might even book at the Art of Animation resort! I didn't realize they had a incredible Cars themed area! Thanks as always, Jackie for everything you do! Oh, and if Disney ever update the Skyliner announcer, they should give you a call! I think you would do a great job!

[@Shelly-in-Tampa]

We got our own too. We rode it just for fun.

[@melissamowery6309]

The last time I rode the Skyliner was 2021 one night my mom and I were leaving Epcot and we got suck on the skyliner I was so scared that night as much as I love staying a pop Century I said I’m never riding the Skyliner again i love your videos as always Jackie

[@SandraLovesSun]

nice singing voice

[@jaymeojeda1160]

Ms. Jackie is always clutch girl works it hard to bring us the best content

[@SuperEnthused]

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@ajserviced.1760]

Hi, this was interesting. I always been curious about the Skyliner. I have motion sickness and scared of heights, so I'm curious if I can ride it on a short ride from park to resort just once. I might get courage to do it by next trip in 2025. The views are spectacular😯😃 of, course the Disney Resorts are all awesome in there on different ways to😊 Wish we were there now. It's so cold here in Tennessee, it's been in the 10s°F to cold. My Sister's Birthday was January 14th, we were going to go out to have lunch, but we couldn't, because we got Snowed in and stuck at our houses. So, we just talked on phone 😮 Snow is beautiful, but it’s not beautiful but dangerous on rodes and I live in country with lots of hills, so we can't drive easily or at all, like now. Anyway, this Vlog Was GREAT AND INTERSTING. Thanks. Be Safe Take Care 😊❤

[@monicahaller3330]

I love love love to ride the Skyliner. I could ride that all day. I will ride it from one end all the way to the other. I know you’re scared of heights like me, but it doesn’t even bother me when I ride it. The first resort I ever stayed at was Pops Century. It was fun, but ever since I’ve always stayed in deluxe resorts. I stayed in the Riviera and I loved it. It was gorgeous. Last time I was there I went to Epcot. I love Epcot. I just don’t like the drunk people. I did go to that pastry shop and got some macaroons and other things, but that grilled ham and cheese sandwich looked delicious. I don’t have a Disney vacation planned, I’m kind of bummed, but hopefully I’ll get to go sometime this year.

[@cherylbranson6557]

My husband and I really enjoyed this skyline episode. We have enjoyed doing the same thing. We truly enjoy your enthusiasm.

[@chrisdeangelo1983]

Wow Jackie cranking out the videos this year. Seeing your videos so often definitely perks up the day. Thank you so much for bringing us the Disney magic as well as sharing your other adventures

[@chrisdeangelo1983]

I’m like you Jackie I love hearing the chimes on the skyliner. And I kinda miss it when it doesn’t happen.

[@nicolebutler4160]

I LOVE the skyliner! When I saw the Guardians skyliner popcorn bucket I was giddy! Great job Jackie! Love living vicariously through your videos! 😂😊

[@MissXena24]

Super Enjoyable!! ❤

[@lizlocher3612]

Jackie, you are TRULY the epitome of Super Enthused, because your oration at the end of your vlog TOTALLY made ME excited after seeing the video. You are a GREAT Disney Patron!!! Excellent, fun, video, just as you so eloquently and "enthusiastically" described it throughout!!! Thanks for the tour!!!

[@RTBird2]

Great video. That bit where you sped the video up for a few seconds brought a smile to my face.
