The procedure at IG station was of interest. The Skyliner was not moving as we exited the park in the storm. There was a sign it wasn’t running and to take a bus from the front of Epcot. There was a person at the exit holding a sign saying the Skyliner was down. I asked him if they were running the buses and he said “you could see” in a way that screamed “I can’t actually answer that”. We walked past the station to go get a car from BC when we saw a bus and people loading. We raced over but were turned away and told to go to the station. There we saw people lined up and were told they were calling for another bus. They then said we’re running the Skyliner to charge it so don’t get excited.( Turns out “are the buckets running?” is NOT how one determines if the Skyliner is operational.) After almost an hour a bus finally showed and we were escorted down in groups with 2 ECVs first and then the first part of the line. The bus drivers stuffed that bus to the point they were yelling we have more and people were yelling back at them there was no more room. RIV was the first drop point. The bus did the entire route to DHS (Pop & AoA were mentioned as separate drops but I got off at RIV so can’t confirm).
If you try this route do NOT walk to where the buses load- the line is at the Skyliner station where it is then walked down to the bus. The entire experience was a mess. The forecast that day was for bad storms in the afternoon, Disney should have had extra drivers and buses ready to deploy as soon as it started for the front of the park and the back.
