Hi Alison!
Thanks for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel and letting us help with your planning questions!
There are a few options for arriving at
Disney's Hollywood Studios in time for park opening. Since you are staying outside of Walt Disney World Resort, the two easiest ways to travel are via your personal vehicle or a ride sharing service. If you have a personal vehicle with you, you'll be able to drive directly to Disney's Hollywood Studios' parking area. From there, you're just a short walk or tram ride away from the front entrance. Be sure to budget a few extra minutes for parking and the tram.
Ride sharing services make travel to the parks super easy as well. At Disney's Hollywood Studios, the drop off/pick up area for these services is located right by the resort bus transportation. This is just a few steps away from the park's entrance. For an extra special experience,
Minnie Van Service will transport you around Walt Disney World while adding a little extra magic to the trip.
Don't forget to check out the other
Resort & Theme Park Transportation options. There are many complimentary ways to travel around Walt Disney World!
