Can anyone tell me if it is possible to walk from Hollywood studios to the Boardwalk area? Seems like I have heard that you can...that there is a walking path between the two resorts. Does anyone know for sure?

Yes you can. There is a path from HS to Boardwalk...and it continues around to the International Gateway entrance to Epcot and Beach Club/Yacht Club also. Off hand, I don't know the exact distance, but we always walk it.

Give your feet a rest. Ths boat that goes to the boardwalk + swan/dolphin enroute is swell.
Exactly. We always stay at BCV or BWV, largely because two of the four parks are an easy walk or a short boat ride. I love this walk -- it is very peaceful. Just follow Faline's directions and you can't miss the path. I am a fast walker -- when I am by myself, I can get from the Studio turnstiles to the Boardwalk entrance at Jellyrolls in about 10-12 minutes (which is admittedly fast). With my entire family walking at a more normal pace, it is a 15 or so minute walk.Quote:

At a reasonable walking pace, if you just miss a boat, then you might get to the Boardwalk faster than the next boat would get you there. If there is a boat waiting at the Studios boat dock when you walk past, however, then you will see it pass you on the waterway as you walk. Even so, you're talking a difference of minutes either way, so if you enjoy walking, this is a great alternative to the boat.
I have also done this walk not just to Boardwalk or Beach Club, but all the way through the International Gateway in Epcot. I love to walk, so this is not an issue for me. Some might consider that to be a long walk, though.
The problem is that the boat doesn't run that early. We have to be at Cape May by 8am for our reservation.Quote:

Coming out of The Studios, look off on the distance for the overpass going over the water (or the water going under the overpass) and head that way. You will walk in the direction of the overpass (on the sidewalk) on the right side.
Or
Google Disney Marathon Course image and note the path. That is the same direction.
It is about 2 miles to the finish of the marathon from the studios. 1 mile from the Studios to the International Gateway and 1 mile from the IG, around the World Showcase, through Epcot, and on to the finish line in the parking lot.
