Disney’s Skyliner is the new transportation feature which will eventually link at least 4 resort hotels—-including the newest Disney Vacation Club property, Disney’s Riviera Resort—-to both Epcot and Disney’s Hollywood Studios. The route has an opening timeframe of fall 2019 to coincide with both Riviera and Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.
