Skyliner wait times

[brich330]

Does anyone have any information on wait times for the skyliners over the last few weeks? I can get from AOA to Caribbean by waking up early, but I do not know what I’ll be facing on Caribbean to HS/Epcot. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! I’ll be at AOA in early June and assume Spring break would be the best comparison.

They are bad bad bad in the morning in any direction that leads towards ROTR. If you have a car use it.

Caribbean to Epcot isn't so bad. But your AoA to Caribbean may be nuts.

On this past Thursday at 10:15 I arrived at the Pop skinnier line and it was a 5-10 min wait. The CB to Epcot line was over 30 min wait. I called uber!

I’m here this week staying at Pop Century... on Monday we went to Hollywood studios and got in line a little bit after 7 ( for skyliner) and we rode the runaway train ride by 8:30 (first ride) And that with all the crowds.
I really like the sky liner (I haven’t been to Disney world in 5 years).

Two weeks ago on a Sunday I waited 30mins to transfer at CB station to Epcot line. That was at 10:00 am. I wasn’t expecting that and we just rode it for fun to get back to BWV.

Thanks for the advice! I may use an Uber for rope drop and the Skyliner for the trip back each day.

The last few times I've been in line at Pop at about 7:15 for HS - took until about 7:25 before they started running, maybe about 7:30 before we got on. Got to CBR and had maybe another 10 minute wait to get to HS. That early in the morning, I don't think we've ever waited more than 10 minutes to get on for HS, including during busy weeks (New Years and President's Week). Trying to get to Epcot has been way worse every time we've tried. Last time we ended up hopping on the HS line (there was no wait by then) and walking to Epcot since the wait for the Epcot line was easily 30-40 minutes around 9:45 - and it hadn't even started running yet. Other trips we've gotten there later - closer to 12 because it was our arrival day, and the line has been more like 45 minutes to an hour.

Or just stay at the swan and dolphin and walk. Since there are currently no conventions the dolphin is about the same price as POP.

I just stayed at AOA last week and used the skyliner to get to both HS and EPCOT. If you're going within 2 hours of either park opening, plan on waiting at the Caribbean Beach station for at least 45 minutes. If you want to avoid the lines, leave an hour before park opening, or take the bus. AOA offers them to both parks but POP Century does not.

Thank you! I’ll probably take the buses there and the skyliner back.

Uber to the Speedway.

We took skyliner from AoA on 3/1. It was a 45 minutes wait once we arrived at Caribbean beach. We arrived at Hs about 9:15.

Our first night we left Epcot at closing to ride back to Pop. The line went back to close to Stormalong Bay. It took about an hour. The park closed later as the week went on so we usually left well before closing and never had a wait of more than 15 minutes. One thing I’ll say is that they stayed cool inside even with the hot weather. We left the Studios at closing also and the line was only about 15 minutes. We didn’t try to go to the Studios at opening.
