Riviera to Hollywood Studios: the Skyliner connection
Take the Skyliner toward Caribbean Beach and follow the signs there for Hollywood Studios. This is an onward-line journey, not the EPCOT-bound direction from Riviera.
Check current service for your travel date.

Riviera has a connection toward EPCOT and a connection toward Caribbean Beach. For Hollywood Studios, check the Caribbean Beach direction first, then the Hollywood Studios line at the hub. If you are meeting another party, agree to meet at the destination rather than assuming you will board the same cabin along the way.
A transfer needs breathing room
The route contains two gondola legs. That is useful to know when fitting breakfast, a hotel break or a time-sensitive reservation into the day. We do not convert the leg count into a travel-time prediction: walking to the station, boarding and any interruption still depend on the day you travel.
Keep a service fallback
Check current operating information before leaving Riviera, particularly during weather interruptions. The route tool checks the announced January 24–30, 2027 and January 24–February 2, 2028 closures, when Disney lists replacement buses. Closure notices were checked October 10, 2026. It does not assume routine buses run alongside normal Skyliner service, so ask staff about the available alternative when the gondolas are unavailable.
