You can make out one of the lights flashing on the departing cabs:
At 40 seconds you can see both flashing.

Perfect, also the gondolas go down, they can just shine some strobe lights on the cabins to simulate movement.
It’s why I’ve made a killing with my "Soarin' into DAK" jet pack rental business.
Plus you can race the friendship boats, which is a vacation favorite of mine.
Its amazing to me that everyone is down with people losing the ability to procreate on their magical vacation. I guess its all part of the "thinner herd", "fatter wallet" vacation concept they're pushing.

We do this too!
The DHS to Swan route is a challenge. Fairly easy the rest of the locations.

The international gateway entrance opens at 9:00 (or whenever the main entrance opens). They just make you head towards Future World once you are in the park.
Although, now that breakfast is served in France, I guess they let you go that way as well.
As @DisneyJeff said, they make you go towards Future World. There are CM's that stand at the bridge that leads to France to let you know that only Les Halles Boulangerie (in France Pavilion) is open for breakfast but you can not go past France Pavilion (in the direction towards Morocco).
France Pavilion in the morning is one of the most relaxing and quiet spots in WDW (IMO) as most everybody in Epcot is heading to the attractions. Time will tell if the Rat ride will be open in the morning and the peaceful setting will be gone.

Access to Ratatouille from International Gateway will bypass most the existing pavilion. Although it is ridiculous that one of the ten most popular theme parks in the world has phased opening and closing nearly every single day of the year.

The gondolas in motion are going to be some lovely kinetic eye candy... Theming to the towers is just not necessary... All those years there were towers right through the Magic Kingdom and they really did not need theming... The Skyliner will not be running through any thematic environments perse...so aside from maybe the first tower outside of a station, I don't believe any sort of theming would be necessary. They are going to look great!

Photo update as of Wednesday, March 28, 2018. First Skyliner cable tower in Hollywood Studios parking lot. The tower is surrounded by four concrete traffic barriers. (I know....there are previously posted photos from an alternate website....but this photo is original.) There is also serious parking lot construction (underground utilities) ongoing for the revamped bus lot, which impacts the Buena Vista Drive entrance routing.

I'm guessing it will run at least 30 minutes prior to park opening (8:30 normally, 7:30 on EMH days). Rat/Poppins/Frozen will no doubt be opening at park opening (EMH)...
IG, once a lonely perk of walking in from YC/BC/BW, is about to become super-saturated at park opening... thereby reducing the value of access to the IG.
I expect they'll be doing some price leveling (up) on the Values with Skyliner access.

Was talking about Deluxes or signature ones. @marni1971 already answered nicely.

Oh it's been going up for sometime now....It's not as cheap as staying at Allstars...I'd like to think of it as a Val-Mod Resort now...

It's like they'll reclassify into "Direct Access" (walk/Monorail/Boat/Skyliner) and "Indirect Access" (bus) resorts.

OKW and SSR are classed as deluxe resorts.
