Hi there, Amy! Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel, and welcome to the Florida resident Annual Passholder family! Let's help you make the most of those shiny new Annual Passes!
It sounds like you have a practically perfect day planned for your next visit. You actually have a few options for traveling between Disney's Hollywood Studios and Epcot. The most scenic (and fun!) method is to hop aboard one of the
Friendship Boats that traverse the waterway between the two Parks. They also make stops at the Swan and Dolphin hotels, Disney's BoardWalk, and Disney's Yacht & Beach Club Resorts before pulling into Epcot's International Gateway. This is a relaxing, lovely trip, but it does take about 30 minutes, so you'll want to plan accordingly.
For a bit of a faster trip, you can take
Disney bus transportation over to Epcot. Buses will drop you off at the Park's main entrance near Spaceship Earth.
If you fancy a bit of exercise, there's a walking path between the two Parks alongside the waterway taken by the Friendship Boats. We've done the walk in about 20 minutes, but your experience may vary.
Amy, you have complimentary
parking at the Theme Parks as an Annual Passholder, but you may find it worth upgrading to Preferred Parking for the day. You only pay once and it's good for the whole day at any Theme Park. I know I'm often ready to just get in the car and go at the end of a busy Park-hopping day rather than having to travel back to the first Park to retrieve your car, so that super-close parking spot can be a welcome relief.
I hope this info helps you plan your day, Amy. Please come by and see us again if you have any more questions!
