same here!
wait…there is no bus between DHS and Epcot?? Walk or boat are only options?
Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but that’s my understanding of the current state of things.
News to me - but I haven’t been in 4 years so things may have changed…
According to the directions given in Disney’s app map, there is no bus ride between HS and EP. The directions in the map are to take a bus to AK and than back to EP/HS. This is the reason for my question about the availability of the Skyliner.

Even with a bus between Epcot and HS, it still might end up being faster to walk or take the boat depending on WHERE you are, or where you are headed in Epcot. If you are in the World Showcase, for example, or want to end up in the World Showcase, then taking the boat/walking would save time compared to having to go from/to the front of the park.
And me as well. DH is looking forward to them. I am NOT.
That’s my understanding as well.

Why would anyone want to take a bus way out of the way to AK and then take another one back to HS or Epcot? I took the boat from HS to Epcot at Christmas, and it was quite fast. The wait wasn’t bad, and the travel wasn’t long. That will be my preferred way to get to Epcot from now on.

There IS buses between HS and EP. See the post I linked above

Oh wow. Why did I not think there was? Was it down recently or something?? It’s definitely not listed in the link I posted above but that list doesn’t claim to be all-inclusive.
Is there a bus from MK to Epcot?
No. Or only when the Epcot monorail is down, and even then the bus would usually go from the TTC, assuming either the resort loop or the express route would be working.
Just watched an updated video of the Skyliners and thinking surely they will be open sooner rather than later. They must have already gone through some type of safety inspections if they are flying over peoples heads!

But they are all still empty, right? I want to see a few of the skyline workers riding them around.

Maybe they are; how could you tell with the covers on?
I don’t know, that’s why I want to see them! 
Opening the doors would be har to do with the covers still on them! 
The doors are wrapped separately! I’ve seen a couple videos of the doors opening and closing. I think because there was initially a conversation over whether the doors would open mechanically or electronically.

Empty yes, but my thought is they have to make sure they don’t come crashing down on someone’s head before they run an entire line of them for hours at a time, so they must be moving along and hopefully ahead of schedule. I am excited to ride it when I got end of Sept!
