There is no schedule and I don’t think the bus arrival times are even listed on MDE for Epcot or HS anymore.
No doubt,when reflecting back to Pre-Skyliner days at POP and the "sweaty,packed-like-sardines,everybody tired and cranky,children falling asleep mid-summer Park Close bus rides" back to POP from Epcot to now being able to walk out International Gateway after Epcot Forever and hop on a Gondola and fly back to POP makes POP an EXTREMELY attractive choice even with the price increases!but the skyliner was life savor.
Thanks for that picture. At least they’re making an effort to list a bus time if there is a bus enroute. So I guess if there is no bus time listed, a bus was recently there - well within the last 40 minutes or so. Lol.It seems to be hit and miss as to whether they post DHS anf Epcot bus times for the Skyliner Resorts.

Do you mind telling what you were able to do getting there that early? Did you get what you wanted accomplished?We were there this past week and went to DHS twice by bus. Both mornings we got to the bus stop at 6:30, each time there was a bus boarding which we got on (filled to capacity, when it left there were about 5-10 people stuck waiting for the next one). We were in line at the Studios around 6:45 both days.

In fact it is almost PRICELESS!
I’ll guarantee you Disney is currently working on PRICING the PRICELESSNESS!
I‘m really looking forward to getting to experience the SkyLiner! Hearing more and more people talk about it being a game changer. Also not going to miss the bus experiences that you were talking about. I’m more than willing to and regularly will give up my seat when the busses are overcrowded, but that’s also much easier to do heading out to a park than returning. Not having to worry about that on afternoons we go to Epcot or HS is a game changer.
Does anyone know, or has Disney ever explained, why the SkyLiner doesn’t run earlier? I can understand it for EMH mornings. But the fact that Is they are basically opening HS earlier every morning, so I don’t understand why they aren’t running it earlier and make the SkyLiner a viable option for HS openings? Unless there is some technical reason, it really seems like a miscalculation and money saving move on Disney’s part.
I also wonder if it’s because the Skyliner still stops at times? It may not be for long but I can see it being a problem if people go to guest services stating they were ‘stuck’ on the Skyliner and this require a FP.I’ll guarantee you Disney is currently working on PRICING the PRICELESSNESS!

Does Pop still have slush? And can you still get it with the Disney Cup purchase?
I'm solo and 7 out of 10 times I get my own gondola... When there's a huge line like at park close, I got put in with others but never been more than 8 per gondola... I think the true max is 10.How tightly are they packing people in the SkyLiners at park close? Just curious. We are just 2 people so I know we will be with others.

I really don't know, but I almost wonder if they are trying to control the crowds by not opening it earlier? This way they can send the buses one at a time and reduce the stress on the security lines. I might be way off base, but it's a thought.
We left DHS and were on the skyliner as fireworks were going off. We are a family of five and had the gondola to ourselves. However, when we got to the station to switch to go to POP, I was surprised when they put another couple in with us. There was no line so I’m not sure why they crammed us together. Seemed odd.How tightly are they packing people in the SkyLiners at park close? Just curious. We are just 2 people so I know we will be with others.

Six people in a vehicle that holds up to ten is "crammed"?There was no line so I’m not sure why they crammed us together. Seemed odd.
