Speed and Travel Time Estimates for the Disney Skyliner

Date:

How fast do the Disney Skyliner gondolas go? How long does it take to travel from one station to the next? These are questions that pop up constantly ever since the Disney Skyliner opened.

When operating normally, the Disney Skyliner gondolas travel at a speed around 11 miles per hour. This speed can vary depending on loading and unloading at the stations. Using 11mph as the average speed, we can estimate how long it takes to travel the various routes on the Disney Skyliner.

The great @bioreconstruct estimated the travel time on each leg of the Disney Skyliner system. He also put together a handy chart showing estimated travel times, including the time to transfer lines.

The image below shows the estimated distance and time between locations, though the time to transfer lines isn’t factored in.

Take the estimated times with a grain of salt as guests will have to transfer lines on certain journeys, which may mean waiting in line. That may add a couple to a few minutes to some trips, but the waiting should be kept to a minimum considering the Disney Skyliner is constantly loading and unloading guests.

By piecing together the routes above, you can see it may take a little over 12 minutes to travel from Art of Animation/Pop Century to Hollywood Studios. The longest route, Art of Animation/Pop Century to EPCOT, will take an estimated 17 to 18 minutes when factoring in the time to transfer lines.
