Disney Skyliner gondola cabs will not have air conditioning

Though it may be a little disappointing that the Disney Skyliner project won't be open this summer, perhaps that is for the best as it has been confirmed that the gondolas will not have a powered temperature control system, and will be a lot more like the Magic Kingdom's old Skyway gondola system, which allowed guests to feel the breeze as they travelled in the air. The gondolas will achieve this effect by using cross-ventilation to allow the air to flow inside the unit at all times. In addition, reflective windows (similar to those used in buses and monorails) will hopefully prevent the cabins from getting too hot.

 Plenty of characters (including Marvel) to be featured on Skyliner cabs

One of the most exciting things about the Disney Skyliner project is the different character-based cabs, which will feature a number of iconic Disney characters and themes, including:

• Star Wars
• Mickey and Friends
• Guardians of the Galaxy
• Beauty and the Beast
• Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
• Moana
• Toy Story
• Coco
• Goofy, Pete, Horace Horsecollar and Clarabelle Cow
• Finding Dory
• Haunted Mansion
• Monsters, Inc.
• Pirates of the Caribbean
• Ratatouille

Though we still have a few months to go until the Disney Skyliner gondolas officially open, we couldn't be more excited to experience this new transportation option, and are really hoping that we can get a sneak peek during a soft opening in the very near future!
