BCV to HS

[lyonking3]

Buses: do they make stops at other resorts prior to going to HS?

Water Transpo: Scheduled or when it gets there it gets there?

Time: Buses vs Water Transpo. which one would be quicker? hard to say?

There are no buses from Beach club to Hollywood studio! Just water taxi or walk!

Buses go to all the resorts in the EPCOT area before going to Hollywood Studios. Boats come about every 15-30 minute intervals. To be honest, it takes 15 minutes to walk to Hollywood Studios. We usually do the walk with our two kids, ages 7 and 10. Just follow the path along the waterway behind The Boardwalk Inn.

We have never had buses as an option. Something new???

Sorry, there are no buses to Hollywood Studios from the EPCOT resort area. I do remember a few times they provided buses for us during thunderstorms because the boat dock was so full.

There are no busses at the Epcot resorts to Epcot or DHS. The boat goes to all 5. My experience at Boardwalk is that the MK and AK busses go Boardwalk-Swan-Dolphin. YC & BC have their own. I believe they do all share for DTD, I haven't taken the bus there. Not sure about water parks.

As the PP said, they only run buses to the Epcot Resorts from DHS and Epcot when the boats have been grounded (due to thunderstorms) and after the boats stop running (boats stop going to a theme park one hour after park closes).

Otherwise, you can take the boat which goes: Epcot -> BW/BWV -> YC/BC/BCV -> S/D -> DHS -> S/D -> YC/BC/BCV -> BW/BWV -> Epcot.

It takes about 25 minutes to get from Epcot to DHS, once underway. It might be slightly longer depending on how long it takes at each stop. The boats depart about once every 15 minutes, but there is no set/posted schedule of arrival/departure times.

In terms of walking, it's about 1.2 miles from Epcot to DHS via the Boardwalk. It's about 1.3 miles from the YC dock to DHS, so that's about the same from BCV (because you'd probably head towards the BW first).

As the PP said, most times the BW/BWV shares with the S and D, while the YC and BC/BCV share a bus. There will be times when all five resorts are on the same bus, so it can get crowded fast.
