Downtown Disney to Hollywood Studios Tips?

[AMusicLifeForMe]

I will be at WDW on June 24th. On this day, I am getting to see Cirque Du Solei: La Nouba for the first time at 6 p.m. The show is an hour and a half and I have schedule the Star Wars Dessert Party at Hollywood Studios. That starts at 8:45 p.m. What is the best way to get to Hollywood Studios from Disney Springs? Is there more than one bus pickup location for resorts and then get to Hollywood Studios from that resort? Will it take an hour and 15 minutes to travel from Disney Springs to Hollywood Studios using the bus transportation? Does anyone know what a cab might cost? Thanks!

I am also sorry that I forgot to change the title to Disney Springs.

I would check out Uber. I just looked up a quote on their website and if you were to use their Uberx, it would cost $5-$7. The other option on the top of my head is to bus to Saratoga Springs and then walk to DS.

Most direct route by Disney bus would be bus from DS to Pop, then bus to DHS. If the line for Pop looks more than 1 busload long, you could also transfer at AoA or OKW. It should take about an hour, but you also need to consider walk time from Cirque to the bus depot, and time to get into DHS. The new DS bus depot is at Town Center; walking from Cirque, I think you can access it by PH.

I would also suggest Uber or Lyft, especially if you wouldn't need a car seat or booster (no kids under 6.) The current pickup area is between Cirque and HOB, although that could change by the time of your trip.

I think Uber or a Mears taxi is the best suggestion. How much is your time worth? Is the hour or more you would spend trying to use "free" Disney transportation worth that much time? Do you want to potentially be late to the dessert party?? Remember you will have to get into the park. Will that include needing the time to go through back check? All those little things like walking from bus stops, bag check, ticket turnstiles, etc.... they all add up. I would spend the few dollars and use Uber or a Mears taxi to get directly from one to the other.
Good luck and have a great time!!

Or, bus to Dolphin/Swan, walk to DHS.

Or if you don't mind the walk you could walk over to SSR and bus straight to DHS from there, it's a fair walk from that side of Disney Springs though.
