Hi Trisha!
Welcome back to planDisney! It's always great to see a returning friend!
Trisha, it sounds like you have a wonderful day planned full of fun at
Disney's Hollywood Studios and capped off with a fabulous dinner at
Topolino's Terrace - Flavors of the Riviera. Disney's
complimentary resort transportation usually runs about one hour after park closing so you should have no problem hopping on the
Disney Skyliner to swing like Tarzan over to
Disney's Riviera Resort for your dinner reservation. It is important to note that the Skyliner may experience interruptions to service during inclement weather though. If that's the case, bus service will be available from Hollywood Studios to the Riviera. To get back to
Disney's Beach Club Resort after dinner, you'll need to
check the park hours for EPCOT on the day of your visit and may need to be prepared to be flexible and make some game-time decisions. While transportation typically runs one hour after the park closes, it may sometimes run longer or shorter depending on guest demand leaving the theme park.
If the Skyliner has stopped running for the evening, there are a few other options to consider. You could check to see if a bus is still available to
Disney Springs and then transfer to another bus that is heading to Beach Club. Disney Springs buses are usually available until around 11:00 PM. Otherwise, you can always use a rideshare service. While you will need to pay for this option, we often find the direct route to our resort much appreciated at the end of a long day!
Before I leave, I just have to share a must-try dining recommendation with you. My favorite "hidden gem" restaurant is
Ale & Compass Restaurant located in
Disney's Yacht Club Resort - just a short walk from Beach Club! If you have a chance during your trip, definitely try to grab lunch or dinner here. I've found several things that I love on the menu, but my favorite is the New England Seafood Pot Pie!
Trisha, I hope you enjoy a wonderful visit to Walt Disney World Resort! Please feel free to stop by again to see me or any of my panelist pals here at planDisney if you have any other vacation planning questions!
See ya real soon!
