Disney World will soon announce a major transportation service closure, affecting operations across hotels and parks for millions of visitors. Credit: Disney Disney Skyline Closure: Operational Disruptions To Begin Resort-Wide The magic of Walt Disney World Resort often reveals itself in the smallest moments—gliding above shimmering waterways, catching a breeze as you float between lands, or watching the parks wake up from a bird’s-eye view. For many guests, those moments don’t happen on a thrill ride or during fireworks. They happen in transit. Few experiences capture that everyday enchantment quite like the Disney Skyliner. Since its debut, the gondola system has become a ritual for resort guests and park hoppers alike—efficient, scenic, and unmistakably Disney. You hear the hum of the cabins, spot character wraps drifting overhead, and suddenly the journey becomes part of the vacation story. But Disney magic is carefully maintained, and that means even the most beloved systems sometimes need a pause. Fans are noticing subtle signs, whispers are spreading online, and a familiar question is popping up in planning groups: What happens when the Skyliner isn’t there? Credit: @abigails_stl / Disney When a Seamless Disney Ritual Becomes Part of the Vacation Routine The Skyliner didn’t just solve a transportation problem—it changed how guests experience the resort. It shortened mornings, softened midday exhaustion, and offered a peaceful reset between parks. For families staying along its route, hopping to EPCOT or Disney’s Hollywood Studios felt effortless, even joyful. Over time, that ease became an expectation. Guests began choosing resorts specifically for Skyliner access. Morning strategies were built around it. Social feeds filled with photos of gondolas floating past fireworks or gliding in at golden hour. When something becomes that ingrained, any disruption feels bigger than a schedule note—it feels personal. Credit: Disney A Quiet Shift Is Prompting Questions From Disney Travelers As January continues, attentive fans are picking up on a familiar Disney pattern. Routine maintenance windows, transportation notices, and subtle planning adjustments have started to surface. For seasoned visitors, this signals one thing: a temporary change is coming. While Disney has long emphasized that refurbishments are non-negotiable for safety and reliability, that doesn’t stop the ripple effect. Travelers planning late-January trips are recalculating mornings. Park hoppers are rethinking transitions. And resort guests are asking how much extra time they’ll need when their favorite shortcut is unavailable. Credit: Brian McGowan, Unsplash Disney’s Transportation Ecosystem Has Always Been About Redundancy Long before gondolas soared above property, Disney perfected the art of moving massive crowds with layered options—buses, boats, walking paths, and monorails. The system is designed to flex when one piece steps away. That context matters. Temporary closures have happened before, and Disney has consistently leaned on its transportation depth to keep vacations running smoothly. Still, knowing how to pivot can make or break a park day, especially during rope drop or evening park hopping.

During this period, gondola service will be unavailable for guests staying at: Disney’s Art of Animation Resort Disney’s Pop Century Resort Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort Disney’s Riviera Resort Disney will provide complimentary bus transportation to EPCOT and Hollywood Studios from these resorts, using the same bus stops typically designated for Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom. Buses usually run about every 30 minutes, though guests should plan to leave at least an hour before their desired park arrival—especially during…

For millions, the journey to Walt Disney World starts at Orlando International Airport (MCO). Frequent visitors know the routine: land, get luggage, and head to Brightline, a rideshare, or the rental car center. On the return trip, it’s the same process, often complicated by security lines and delays at one of the busiest airports in the U.S. However, starting in 2026, MCO will undergo significant changes that will transform the traveler experience. Expect new terminal navigation, dining and shopping options, updated security identification requirements, and family-friendly programs. These are major infrastructure and operational shifts that will affect all travelers, making it crucial to understand them to avoid potential stress during your Disney experience. The Tram Situation Is About to Get Complicated Orlando International Airport started its $253 million Gate Link Replacement Project on December 3, 2025. This project will last throughout 2026 and beyond. It involves completely replacing the old people mover vehicles that transport passengers between gates 70 through 129 and Terminals A and B. If you’re flying with Air Canada, Avelo Airlines, Delta, Frontier Airlines, LATAM, Southwest, or Virgin Atlantic, this project will affect you. During the replacement, only one tram will be in operation instead of the usual two. This single tram will carry the passenger load that two normally manage, which will lead to longer wait times. Credit: Ed Aguila, Inside the Magic To help with the crowding, the airport will run shuttle buses around the clock. These buses will follow the same routes as the trams, but they are not as efficient. They depend on traffic, take longer to load, and offer a different experience compared to the automated tram system. The project will take about two years to complete. If you travel through MCO in 2026, be sure to allow extra time to move between your gate and the main terminal. What used to take five minutes might now take fifteen or twenty, especially during peak travel times when both the single tram and shuttle buses are full. Massive Dining and Retail Expansion Coming to Orlando MCO is implementing a $26 million Concession Master Plan that will bring more than 40 new retail and dining locations to the airport. The expansion will roll out in three phases starting in summer 2026 and continuing through late 2028. For travelers in 2026, this means construction zones, closed storefronts, and reconfigured spaces throughout the terminals. The first phase openings will begin appearing in the summer, but the construction work necessary to prepare those spaces will be ongoing before then. Expect barriers, detours, and temporary closures of familiar shops and restaurants as the airport makes room for new concepts. Credit: FlyMCO This expansion is part of a much larger transformation happening at MCO that includes changes to terminals, the tram service, the rental car lobby, and other infrastructure. While the end result should be a significantly improved airport experience with more food and shopping options, the transition period will create some chaos for travelers navigating spaces under construction. Build in Extra Time for Everything With tram replacements, ongoing construction, and changing storefronts, the key to navigating MCO in 2026 is to allow plenty of extra time. If you typically arrive two hours before a domestic flight, consider increasing it to 2.5 or 3 hours. For tight connections, add extra buffer time for slower gate-to-gate movement. Popular food spots may be closed for renovations, so be prepared to find alternatives. This is a year for careful planning and ample time estimates.

If you arrive without proper identification, you must either pay the fee and go through the TSA ConfirmID…
