Has anyone ever measured walking from RPR to Islands? I'm not so sure it's closer than Hard Rock. The walk to each security point is shorter from Hard Rock. From there, it's either past Studios, Cafe and Toothsome, or from RPR, you have to walk over the bridge.
Since the question has come up again, I copied the post from page 17 in this section
It was done by Bluer101 and was a sticky at one time.
He listed the point where he started the measuring.
The following is from Bluer101's post of January 23, 2017:
Here is all the answers here no more guessing.
