bus or boat?

[tinkfan4ever]

I was reading that you can take a shuttle bus or the boat taxi to get to IOA and US. Which is faster? Also, is the entrance neat to see where the bus lets you off?

The only boat there is the ferry that is only accessible by the On Site Hotel guests. There is a huge entrance to Universal Studios and it is very nice!

It depends on where you are staying. From the Hard Rock Hotel and Royal Pacific, we find that walking is usually the fastest way to get to the parks!!

I agree, It takes us about 6 minutes to get to the parks.

if you are at hrh, you definitely don't want to take that internal bus.

i took it one night so i could see all the hotels light up at night.
i had time to kill so it wasn't an issue with me. it was hot that day and i wanted to do some exploring on the hotels.

i took the bus from hrh where i was staying and did the route. the bus takes you to the front of each hotel. it is beautiful at night.

i timed it from start to finish. it took me 37 minutes.
it stops at each hotel and lets people off, and lets people on.

some people are so slow or had the driver wait for a friend that wasn't with their group. that held us up big time but not an issue with me.

if you are in a hurry to get to the parks, take the boat or walk.

From PBH we had a race and the bus won. The entrance from the boat is better.

They do shut the boat down during a Tstorm. In that case, take the bus.

that's right !
once during a lot of lightening, the boat was kept docked.

heck, i was already soaked from the rain from being in the park, i just walked back to the hrh........the bus would not have saved me then
