Howdy Kenneth!
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! I love the Disney Skyliner, and I am so excited to help you with this question!
When you take the Disney Skyliner to EPCOT, you will exit the Disney Skyliner at the EPCOT International Gateway. The EPCOT International Gateway is located in EPCOT’S World Showcase area. If you are planning to board the monorail from EPCOT, then you would need to pass through EPCOT and exit the front entrance. I hope this helps you to plan your transportation options.
The Walt Disney World Resort offers several different transportation options. We love to experience each one on our Walt Disney World vacations. The Disney Skyliner is one of my favorites. I recently had the opportunity to experience this fantastic cruise through the sky, and I loved it! I felt as if I were flying off to Neverland! I know you will enjoy this journey through the sky also!
There will be lots of exciting things happening in December! To stay informed of everything, check out the Disney Parks Blog. The Disney Parks Blog is my favorite place to stay up-to-date on all the new things to see and do at the Walt Disney World Resort!

Does Skyliner go to Disney Springs? ›

What causes Skyliner to stop? ›
If the Skyliner is unavailable, you'll typically see signs outside of the station or on the path leading up to the entrance. In my experience, rain does not cause the Skyliner to stop operating.

Typically, the Skyliner will open one hour before Early Theme Park Entry. It will then close 90 minutes after EPCOT or Hollywood Studios closes.
