Walt Disney World Skyway | Disney World

The Walt Disney World Skyway was a beloved attraction at the Magic Kingdom theme park in Walt Disney World Resort. Opening on October 1, 1971, the Skyway quickly became an iconic part of the park’s landscape, providing guests with a unique and picturesque aerial view of the Magic Kingdom.

The Skyway consisted of two separate gondola systems, transporting guests from Fantasyland to Tomorrowland and vice versa. The gondolas were suspended from a network of steel cables, gliding effortlessly above the park, offering stunning vistas of the attractions and landscapes below.

For many visitors, the Skyway provided a relaxing and enjoyable journey between the two themed lands, giving them a chance to take in the beauty and charm of the Magic Kingdom from a bird’s-eye perspective. It was especially popular for its picturesque views of Cinderella Castle and the surrounding areas.

The interior of each gondola was spacious enough to accommodate several guests, making it a delightful experience for families and friends to share together. The gentle sway of the gondola added to the enchanting ambiance, making it a memorable and magical part of the Disney experience.

Over the years, the Walt Disney World Skyway became a beloved classic, cherished by both first-time visitors and seasoned Disney enthusiasts. Unfortunately, the attraction closed permanently on November 10, 1999, after nearly three decades of operation.

It was permanently removed in 2009 (Tomorrowland Station) and 2012 (Fantasyland Station). The Fantasyland station was were the Tangled-themed restrooms are today.
