The Construction Update the Disney Skyliner Gondola for November 2018. All the towers are installed and the cables have been added to part of the route.
Disney Skyliner is an upcoming gondola lift system that will connect Disney's Pop Century Resort, Disney's Art of Animation Resort, Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort, and the new Disney Riviera Resort to Disney's Hollywood Studios and Epcot.
On February 15, 2017, the Reedy Creek Improvement District filed plans with the South Florida Water Management District for "various improvements." Among these plans was a design for a 100-foot-high (30 m) building in the shape of a "V", consistent with a gondola lift changing direction. The blueprints described improvements to the south end of Epcot at the World Showcase, as well as in Disney's BoardWalk Resort and Disney's Hollywood Studios. These V-shaped structures were also planned for Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort and Disney's Art of Animation Resort.
On July 15, 2017, the gondola lift plan was confirmed at the D23 Expo. Bob Chapek, the chairman of Walt Disney Parks, Experiences and Consumer Products, said that the system was going to connect four hotels with Epcot and Disney's Hollywood Studios, affording "a bird's-eye view" of the area. No opening date was announced at the time. The proposal was announced as part of the unveiling of 23 improvements to Disney Parks, including a "makeover" of Epcot and carpool-style "Minnie vans". The Skyliner would also connect a new resort called Disney Riviera Resort.
