Hi there, Christina!
A warm welcome back to planDisney. We're so glad you've returned with another fabulous
Walt Disney World Resort vacation planning question! It looks like you'll be checking in at a Disney Resort hotel
very soon... I bet you're counting down each second! I'd be more than happy to help you prepare for a relaxing stay at The Most Magical Place on Earth.
Disney's Beach Club Resort is one of my family's all-time favorite Deluxe Resort hotels due to its location, abundance of fantastic dining options nearby, and of course... the unforgettable resort pool experience, Stormalong Bay! Christina, as a Guest of Disney's Beach Club Resort, you'll be staying right in the heart of the EPCOT Resort Area, but you'll enjoy incredibly easy access to both EPCOT
and Disney's Hollywood Studios. You'll have several options in terms of transportation to Disney's Hollywood Studios, and I think the
best method is the one you feel you'll most enjoy, as they probably all take around the amount of time:
- Walking path: There is a scenic walking path that winds its way around Crescent Lake from Disney's BoardWalk to Disney's Hollywood Studios. At a moderate pace, it'll take you around 25 minutes to walk to the theme park from the Resort hotel. Unless weather conditions are extreme, this is usually my favorite method of transportation between these two areas.
- FriendShip Boat: Hop aboard watercraft transportation at the Resort hotel's boat dock and enjoy a calming cruise to the entrance of Disney's Hollywood Studios (weather permitting). If watercraft services are suspended due to weather, a complimentary shuttle service will be offered from the bus stop at Disney's Beach Club Resort.
- Disney Skyliner: Walk to the International Gateway at EPCOT and board the Disney Skyliner. Once you're airborne, you'll soar to Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort, where you'll transfer to the route that runs to Disney's Hollywood Studios (weather permitting).
