Park Hopping - Studios to Epcot?

[LoriMistress]

DH and I did that in Dec '07. We had our last morning at DHS, went back to POP to nap, then headed over to Epcot in the early afternoon. We just took the bus, and there wasn't any problems.

The fastest way to get from DHS to Epcot is taking the boat to Yacht & Beach Club and walking from there. It is probably the nicest option, because you get to sit down on the boat for 15 minutes and then you have a 5 minute walk at most from the Y&BC.

Of course, you can walk but isn't a person visit DHS and Epcot in the same day doing enough walking already??

Judging by the waistlines of many guests don't think it would hurt.

(and in case someone wants to jump down my throat because they're just big boned, it's meant as a joke)

I think the boat is relaxing (and kids think it's an attraction).

DH and i always walk between the two. it's actually a favorite part of my day when we visit both of those parks. i love the walk through the boardwalk and along the water.

although you walk alot, i'm sure it can only help to burn off all the calories you eat at the parks!!!

Unless you are a snail, walking is always faster. It's close if you walk right on the boat and it leaves immediately, but there is a shortcut THROUGH Boardwalk that cuts off significant time.

I've never been beat by the boat from Epcot to MGM, or MGM to Epcot. It's not a race either, usually it's sweltering 100+ degree heat when I decide to do the walk.

Thank you for all your replies.

My 3 children are really slow walker; so I think we will take the bus to save time.

with 3 kids, I would take the bus or boat, either way its a great way to let them rest for a bit

Walking is faster than the boat, if you're up to it. There is no direct bus between parks, so you'd have to take a bus to a non-Epcot resort or the TTA and transfer. I've never done it, but I'd guess that would take a while.

This is incorrect for a couple of reasons.

There IS a bus between the parks. And there's no such thing as a bus that goes between ANY Disney owned-and-operated resort and the Transportation & Ticket Center (TTC).

WIth one exception: there is still a late-night bus between FW and TTC, which runs only after MK has closed and the boat has stopped running.

I love the boat, very relaxing. And I agree with Goes4FastPass...my kids think its another ride!!

you can walk from the Studios to the Boardwalk, to Epcot. It will take about 20 mins, depending on your pace.

Enless you have small children this would be my recomendation. It's a beautifull walk, and we find that since the boat stops at so many locations, it's much faster to just walk it!
