Wondering how long it takes to get from Pop to Hollywood Studios (or vice versa) via Skyliner?

Skyliner from Pop to HS
- Thread starter The4mousekeeters
- Start date
I wonder how early it starts. I want to get from Pop to HS, and from what I've read they open early, let you get in line early, and sometimes start the rides early. I wouldn't mind getting to HS around 9-9:15 and if the skyliner won't get us there then I'm okay with going Uber.
I guess that leads to the next question, how early might HS let Uber in to drop off.

when we went in mid august, it took awhile, long line at the pop station, longer at the carribean beach transfer station, although it was no line at all coming back, try to get in line about 915 for the 1000 studios opening.

We just got back today. Went to HS on Friday. Got in line at Pop around 8:15 (there was already a line) - they started the skyliner around 8:30- 8:45, we got in another line at the CBR station and then we were off to HS. Got there about 9:15 and went straight in to MMRR. Rode that and were in line at Starbucks by 10am when the park and Rise queue opened. I would suggest getting an early start - yes it involves “hurry up and wait” a few times, but it was nice to avoid long lines first thing for MMRR and other rides. Now, mind you, we were there during the “busy” holiday weekend.

I think the difference is you have physical distancing requirements for the buses, so limited capacity. That is slowing things down. And it really only took the hour because we left so early and they weren't ready to send people on to HS yet.
For us, we loved the skyliner and thought the experience of riding was much better than being on the bus. I don't know that you go wrong with either choice - it's probably just preference.

yes, that is about the time from boarding at Pop to exit at HS. But... like any transportation, there can always be a wait for the transportation to begin (or arrive). We were at Pop when RoTR opened last December. The line for the skyliner stretched all the way to the end of the pool closest to the Pop lobby early one morning. We opted to drive and so glad we did. Once the skyliner is running, and assuming no mechanical issues, the lines to board move very quickly. But, you can also face lines again at the transfer station during peak times.

Need to point out Pop and AoA are sharing buses MUCH more than they did in the past, so be careful with busing. Busing has always been hit or miss, and Pop/AoA was no different.
Some of tour worst busing experiences were at the Beach Club, as they shared to AK/MK with the entire Epcot BLVD Resorts.
Strangely, we NEVER shared while staying at any of the All-Stars. It must be due to our riding habits as we only rode early A.M. or Park Close.

Did you use busing while there? Just curious if they were, or how often they were sharing with AoA? Usually happened midday for AK or MK.....

How silly of me! Keep forgetting how many of the Resorts haven't been open since March!
