While you might not think there could be bad days at Disney World, we have to admit we’ve had them and this one specifically left us feeling so frustrated.
Skyliner at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort
We’re here to tell you about our experience so that you do not make the same mistakes we made that led to this series of unfortunate events. You see, while Disney transportation is free to use and can be convenient, it can also be very inconsistent and it could cause you to completely pivot from your original plan. And that is where our story begins…
We were at EPCOT looking to hop over to Hollywood Studios. Easy peasy, we’ll hop on the Skyliner at the International Gateway. The Skyliner doesn’t have a direct route from EPCOT to Hollywood Studios, but it’s just one switch at the Skyliner Station making it a relatively easy trip or at least it should be.
International Gateway Skyliner
Sadly for us, the Skyliner was down when we arrived to board in EPCOT. A sign instructed us to go all the way back to the main entrance of EPCOT to take a Disney bus. We, of course, listen to the sign, feeling a little annoyed, we head to the front of the park… SPOILER: this is where we messed up.
Look for a sign to let you know the Skyliner is closed!
Once we walked to the bus station outside of the park, we waited for about 15 minutes and boarded the bus to Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Others had the same plan as us so the bus was pretty crowded. As we were standing on this crowded bus, we realized that we could have done something that would’ve saved us time.

While we were already at the International Gateway, we could have just walked the quick 5-minute walk to Disney’s Beach Club and hopped on a bus there going to Hollywood Studios. It would’ve saved us time and a lot of steps, which could be a game changer at Disney World.

So if you find yourself stuck in this situation, think about walking over to the Beach Club and you could save yourself the headache. For more Disney tips, be sure to follow us at DFB.
