Hi Cindy,
The walk from
Disney's Hollywood Studios to the International Gateway entrance of
Epcot is easy and the quickest way my family has found to travel between the two parks. It usually takes us 20 to 30 minutes to make the stroll, which is much faster than taking the water taxis the same distance because the boats make three other stops before reaching Epcot.
The wide sidewalk along the waterway is well marked and takes you through the
Boardwalk area, where we often stop for an ice cream at
Ample Hills Creamery or a drink and snack from one of the kiosks or restaurants. Or you can veer left on the path and pass through the Yacht Club and Beach Club resorts instead, where again you can stop for ice cream, drinks or snacks at
Beaches & Cream Soda Shop or
Hurricane Hanna's Waterside Bar & Grill.
Did you know, Cindy, that the
My Disney Experience Mobile App now includes a "Get Directions" feature? It is a great resource when you are trying to determine the best route inside the parks and all around the Walt Disney World resort. Of course, you're always welcome to check back with us here at the Disney Parks Moms Panel, too. We're here to help however we can.
Enjoy your vacation!
Wilma
