To get around Disney's Hollywood Studios in Orlando, there are several convenient transportation options to help you navigate the park and surrounding areas:
1. Resort Bus Service
Disney offers complimentary bus transportation from all Disney Resort hotels to Hollywood Studios. Buses generally run every 20 minutes and are available from about 45 minutes before the park opens until one hour after it closes. This service is available to all guests, even if you are not staying at a Disney Resort hotel.
2. Disney Skyliner
The Disney Skyliner is a gondola lift system that connects Hollywood Studios to EPCOT and several Disney Resort hotels, including Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort, Riviera Resort, Pop Century, and Art of Animation. The Skyliner station at Hollywood Studios is located just steps from the park entrance, making it a quick and scenic way to travel to and from the park.
3. Friendship Boats
Friendship Boats provide a relaxing ride between Hollywood Studios and nearby resorts such as Disney's Beach Club, Yacht Club, BoardWalk Inn, and Swan & Dolphin. These boats also connect to EPCOT. The boat dock is located near the park's entrance, and the service typically starts one hour before the park opens.
4. Walking Path
For those who prefer walking, there is a path that connects Hollywood Studios to EPCOT and the surrounding resorts. The walk is approximately 20–30 minutes to EPCOT, and it offers a pleasant stroll along the waterway.
5. Parking and Trams
If you drive to Hollywood Studios, you can park in the designated parking lot, which charges a standard fee of \$30 per day. Preferred parking is available at a higher rate. Trams are available to take guests from the parking lot to the park entrance, though they do not service the parking areas for guests with disabilities.
6. Rideshare Services
Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft can drop off and pick up guests at the designated rideshare area near the park's bus stop. This area is clearly marked with signage to guide you to the appropriate pickup and drop-off points.
For real-time transportation updates and information on wait times, it’s helpful to use the My Disney Experience app, which offers detailed details about all transportation options within the park.
