For context, the Disney Skyliner takes Guests to and from certain Parks and Resort hotels: EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, Disney’s Art of Animation Resort, Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort, Disney’s Pop Century Resort, and Disney’s Riviera Resort.

Earlier this week, many of the pages associated with these locations on Walt Disney World’s official website had a banner at the top of the page, alerting Guests that the Disney Skyliner would be down for refurbishment with the dates.
