Disney ‘Skyliner’ back in operation after system malfunction

Walt Disney World’s newest transportation system, the Disney Skyliner, is back up in operation after experiencing what the park is calling a ‘system malfunction’ over a week ago.

The cable cars stopped moving the evening of October 5th, leaving some guests stranded for hours.

Since then, the gondolas have been closed, for nine days, while Disney investigated the incident.

The Skyliner was spotted over the weekend moving, but without passengers, as they tested the system.

Now, it’s open for guests again with hours between 8 a.m. to 10:30 p.m.

System updates later this week will result in modified operating hours, though, as wdwinfo.com writes:

• October 16-18: October 16: The Disney Hollywood Studios line will be closed while the other two lines will be available from 1 p.m. – 10:30 p.m.
• October 17-18: All lines will be open from 1 p.m. – 10:30 p.m.
