    Can I still walk to Epcot's International Gateway from Hollywood Studios via the Epcot resorts connector? Will I be allowed onto Disney's Boardwalk to pass thru without a restaurant reservation?

    Hiya Nicole!

    Thanks so much for stopping by planDisney with your planning question! Can you believe you’ll be walking down the middle of Main Street, in just about a week? Oh boy! The countdown is on—and I’m so excited for you!

    Now, let’s jump right into your question. I’m happy to share that yes, you can absolutely walk from EPCOT to Hollywood Studios using the resort pathway that connects the two. It’s a peaceful stroll—about 20 minutes or so—and full of those lovely Disney details along the way. You’ll pass by some gorgeous water views and the Boardwalk area. My family loves to make a sweet little pit stop at Beaches & Cream’s walk-up window at Beach Club Resort for a Minnie Mouse ice cream sink—it's the perfect cool treat for a hot Florida day!

    Speaking of that Florida sunshine, here are a few pro tips from one Disney-loving mom to another: Bring a refillable water bottle—you’ll find refill stations all over the parks. Also, cooling towels are a must—we call them our secret weapon for surviving those warm afternoons!
    And don’t forget a poncho or light rain jacket—because as Olaf would say, “the sky is awake,” and Florida weather likes to keep us on our toes!

    Nicole, I hope this helps as you put the finishing touches on your magical itinerary. If any more questions come up, you know where to find us. 

    See ya real soon,

    Christina
