isn't there planned maintenance for the Skyliner coming up? I would imagine this plan would be needed to deal get ready for extended down time. (then maybe kept the plan for any down time).
There is - the refurbishment is in late January.

We used the Skyliner for the first time. It was great. We left DHS and took it to the EPCOT IG so that we could walk around the boardwalk and have dinner at Cape May Cafe. Then we took it back as our car was still at DHS.
A lot of fun, larger than I expected, and the views around sunset were awesome.

That is some ugly stuff, wasn't that part of why they stopped the park to park vans?
Not enough guests were willing to $$$ for park to park transportation

Theres likely not going to be any work needed to the existing lines as those wont extend, they'll be adding extra lines so you'll get off somewhere and swap like you currently can at CB. The maintenance is likely for line tightening, general maintenance, cleaning, etc.
That is one of the beauties of the system - the whole thing can carry on operating whilst it's being expanded with minimal disruption.

WDW now has a plan to use buses adjacent to the skyliner station at Epcot World Showplace when the line is experiencing down time.
I'm surprised this wasn't the plan from the beginning. Previously they've been sending people to the front of the park or to the beach club bus stop.
This is much more guest friendly.

I dont see it either, unless the plan is to toss them off the overpass onto busses waiting below the Epcot Resorts Blvd overpass.

Anyone receive the Year-End Skyliner Cooking Deaths Report yet? I’m wondering how many were cooked to death in 2022.

It's backstage near the skyliner station. Cast will direct you. I guess this could be neat for some I would enjoy the sneak peek of the backstage areas.

There is a road back there that leads the the World Showplace. When they had the Party for the Senses during the Food and Wine fest. Anyone that purchased the deluxe ticket got a ride from their resort there and would be dropped up back there. The road circles around the back of World Showcase.
Don't know if they'll do it this way, but, it's doable...

Probably go out the same way they came in. Just pull around the turning circle provided for that.

Though I haven't experienced this first hand, I have to believe that this is correct. The red represents the walking path for guest to get to the green bus path.
I was thinking that making everything one way is safer.
