Looks like the Epcot line has reopened early today, can anyone confirm?

And they commit to it very well.WDW sometimes will just scrap a refurb completely.Proactive vs reactive in many cases.

Oh I get why the whole line needs to be down, but the way it’s worded would lead you to believe that you can ride from Caribbean Beach to Epcot.
JoeCamelJan 24, 2024
Don't know but they are resplicing the cables or shortening them so it would follow the whole line is down

Strange way of wording that closure then - correct?

Sounds like the only lines up are CB to HS and CB to AoA/PC.

“From January 16, 2024 through January 21, 2024, Disney Skyliner will be closed for routine maintenance. Disney Skyliner service to and from Disney’s Riviera Resort and International Gateway at EPCOT will remain closed through January 27, 2024. “So is the skyliner running to Epcot and just not stopping at Riviera? Or is the entire line from Riviera to Epcot not operating? I’m a bit confused.
