This is a fun thread! A question out to all. Since it’s launch to the public, has the Skyliner gone 20 consecutive days without an unscheduled downtime? I know there were a couple last week.

I see. So if the hours changed to 8am openings of the Skyliner for October following the incident, then @Billy Belcaro has a valid point that the Skyliner hours changed in October to well after "park open."

I don't remember how long the skyliner was down for after the incident. At least a week?? And when it opened, I really do not recall how long it took them to ramp all lines up to what we would call full operating hours. Maybe someone else has the details. But really, not sure how it matters now. Park hours for DHS are now either 9am or 8am with EMH...seems the skyliner is aligned to this.

Has anything at WDW ever gone 20 consecutive days without an unscheduled downtime?
Maybe the treehouse

*the same schedule was visible all the way thru Oct 5th.
Go back and read my original post. Nothing I said was wrong to make you all carry on like you're defending the Queen Mother.
Show me where WDW posts schedules out 3 months in advance and then changes every single day on them? Something that is significant on par with a very highly anticipated experience like the Skyliner. Then I will concede. Until then, I will suspect what I want and you do the same

Why do you think they would have intended to operate the skyliner several hours before the first park was open?Go back and read my original post. Nothing I said was wrong to make you all carry on like you're defending the Queen Mother.

Rode this for the first time Monday and it was amazing. Very smooth and quiet. On my two trips there was one long line and it moved quickly. The way it keeps your body from lurching forward when approaching a station was incredible. I can't speak to internal temperature because the weather was nice but there was no noticeable air flow on the way to DHS. All the other legs had a nice breeze. On one leg it stopped and I was stuck in Riviera for a few minutes. The gondolas on the line ahead of me were bouncing up and down and I was glad I wasn't up there. Would ride again.

Well, for one thing... Disney lists park hours well in advance but have been known to change them on any random day. I've been there when the operating hours for MK were 8am to 10pm only to find out on the tram ride from the parking lot to TTC that they were going to stay open until 12am. They quite often have operated on a whim. All they really have to do is to be there when it is needed based on opening and closing time. This isn't a city bus route where you have to get to work at a specific time or lose your job.*the same schedule was visible all the way thru Oct 5th.

Psssst..... SW:GE hasn't been the gangbusters crowd monster Disney thought it would be. So they haven't been opening the park early any longer like they originally thought they would have to do.
And transportation hours always change when the park schedules change too. When they extend the park hours on the calendar, they don't tell people "sorry, buses stop at 10 like we said they would months ago... can't change it.. because we said it"
You're pointing at things that have nothing to do with what you are trying to insinuate. You're claiming the skyliner is operating less hours 'since the incident' yet haven't shown any cite showing it not operating at lesser hours between Oct 19 and now. All while completely ignoring the reason hours NOW don't match hours posted for October is because the park hours NOW don't match October.
The skyliner went back to normal schedule on Oct 19. You've not cited anything that shows the skyliner not running hours that are matched up to the park's operating schedule after Oct 19. You've just pointed at current operating hours and saying they don't match other periods... which means nothing.

just to clarify, I did not speculate. I just stated the facts that a full schedule was posted to the public and the hours changed right after the incident, along with the precise details of those hours and changes.
If I had to suspect, I'd say WDW used the distraction of the incident to change the hours to better align with lower than anticipated crowds.

I'm not 'claiming' anything.
Again, I stated what the factual public schedules were prior and post Skyliner incident. They are still accessible for your own enjoyment on the site I posted. Other people made claims by saying WDW changed the SL schedule to reflect reduced park hours. Probably correct, though WDW never came out and addressed it in any way.

Where have you shown the operating hours of the skyliner are not matching what was posted for dates after Oct 19?
An article from Sept does not include what the hours that are actually being observed now.

I can appreciate that you may have had a random occurrence where Disney extended hours beyond what they posted at some past date, but to say that Disney "often" operates on a whim is just not factual. The majority of posted park hours are honored exactly as presented.

You're right that the Skyliner wasn't open for the EEMH in mid October. It was certainly open an hour before regular operating hours (8a for the 9a opening).
So, is WDW a no good liar? No. It has the right to change operating procedures at will. It's on your ticket you bought. When Friendship Boats can't operate in bad weather, they send buses to the Crescent Lake resorts. They still provided transportation.
AFAIK, even though the Skyliner wasn't opening in time for EEMH, the buses were. You got transporation. You didn't get it in the form you thought because they changed operational procedures.
If you think the change of operational procedures is a lie. Probably very few would agree with you.
If you think it's a bummer, probably many would agree with you.
