Disney’s Skyliner is a free gondola system connecting several resorts and two of the Disney theme parks, Epcot and Hollywood Studios, and we love staying at a Skyliner Resort for many reasons. There are pros and cons, of course. Let's check them out! Starting off at Disney’s Riviera, this resort features a station with direct access to the World Showcase entrance of Epcot as well as the Boardwalk area and the Yacht & Beach Club Resorts. In the other direction, passing through the hub next door at Caribbean Beach Resort allows for access to the front entrance of Hollywood Studios in minutes.

This is the one resort where you'll see the most character and movie references throughout, including the rooms. This is just one of the reasons we love AOA so much!

One of the most enchanting aspects of sailing with Disney Cruise Line is the opportunity to make your stateroom feel extra special. Whether you're celebrating a birthday, an anniversary, or just want to add some Disney magic to your vacation, Disney Cruise Line offers a variety of room decorations that can be pre-ordered or purchased onboard. 

The Dining Plan offers the convenience and peace of mind of pre-paying for my meals and snacks.
