Hiya Jill! Welcome to planDisney.
You are counting down the DAYS until your visit to the Walt Disney World Resort - how exciting is that!? My family had our vacation a few weeks ago, and we stopped by
Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort for dinner. I love it there, and you will too! The tropical vibes are in full effect, with pastel colors, Caribbean music, and sandy beaches everywhere. Swoon!
The FriendShip Boats in Crescent Lake are a magical way to travel between
Disney's Hollywood Studios,
Disney's BoardWalk area, and
EPCOT. You are welcome to use Disney Watercraft Service to travel between these points, no matter which Disney Resorts Collection hotel you're calling home.
From Disney's Hollywood Studios to Disney's BoardWalk, you have several transportation options. The walking path takes about 10 to 15 minutes depending on your pace, and it's a lovely walk along Lake Hollywood and Crescent Lake. You could also jump on a bus outside Disney's Hollywood Studios and take it to Disney's BoardWalk Inn. Another option is to glide through the air aboard the
Disney Skyliner. They're all great options!
Just to clarify, there is no water transportation service at Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort. The
Disney Watercraft website lists the resort hotels with boat transportation. At your resort hotel, you'll have access to bus transportation as well as the Disney Skyliner when you're heading to Disney's Hollywood Studios.
Jill, enjoy your time at Disney's Hollywood Studios and Disney's BoardWalk. My two favorite spots on Disney's BoardWalk are
AbracadaBar, which has delicious craft cocktails and a mysteriously fun theme, and
BoardWalk Bakery, which serves up coffee and delicious baked goods (I can't resist a Disney cupcake). Enjoy it all!
Wishing you a magical vacation,
Robyn
