NO Air Conditioning on Disney Skyliner Gondolas Disney Confirms

NO Air Conditioning on Disney Skyliner GondolasDisney has confirmed today in the Orlando Sentinel what we basically saw for ourselves this weekend at the D23 Destination D event: the Disney Skyliner Gondolas will NOT have air conditioning on board.

This was visible from the stage when Bob Chapek showed off the first Disney Skyliner Gondola cars, and instead of air conditioning, they will be equip with a natural ventilation (aka the slits in the sides of the gondolas which open and close.

“a Walt Disney World spokeswoman confirmed that the gondolas would not have AC. The cabins were ‘specifically tailored to provide a comfortable ride for our guests in the Florida climate,’ she said. The units will use cross-ventilation for sufficient air flow and reflective windows to prevent direct sunlight’, she said.”

There has been lots of bash-lash over this issue and while it seems impossible for the Disney Skyliner to run in Central Florida without air conditioning, Disney imagineers are sure that the ventilation provides will be more than enough.

Your Thoughts:

I want to know what you think about NO Air Conditioning on Disney Skyliner Gondolas…

  • Is Disney making a mistake by not including air conditioning in the Disney Skyliner??

    Yes I’m excited about the skyliners but I think they need air conditioning

      I agree, could get rather toasty in August in one of those cars. I’m guessing they are delaying the opening til Fall 2019 for testing with weather being a bug consideration considering they have the cables up and most of the construction work could probably be finished by Springtime.

        Summer will be a big testing period for sure with the heat and thunder storms

      Let’s hope they aren’t boiling in there. I think the Disney Imagineers have a good plan though…

    Equipping the gondolas with an AC unit would make the car heavier and costlier for the electrical charge for each car.

      That’s a good point and could very well be true

      I agree, but if it gets too hot in the Skyliner cars they will need to add some type of fan system if/when the cars become stuck on the line if they are not cool enough during the Florida summer months. Hopefully they will have it figured out.
