[grittyreid]

we're staying at poly, but not renting car this time. can anyone tell me what my transport options are from epcot to hollywood studios? are there buses than go between parks and did i read something about boat that takes you from epcot to hs? how long is the ride and where do you get it. thanks.

You have several options.

If you are towards the front of Epcot (Future World), then your best bet is to exit Epcot out the front entrance and take the direct bus to the entrance of the Studios.

If you are towards the back of Epcot (World Showcase), then your best bet is to exit Epcot out the International Gateway between UK and France, then either walk or take the boat to the Studios. If the boat is waiting at the dock when you leave Epcot then the boat is about the same time as walking (about 25 - 30 minutes). If there is no boat in sight, then walking to the Studios is faster. The boat stops at Yacht Club, Beach Club, Boardwalk, Swan/Dolphin before heading onto the Studios.

As already mentioned, if you are inside Epcot, you can take a boat to DHS from the International Gateway. Or, if you are just looking to get to DHS without entering Epcot, you can take the bus to DHS from the front of Epcot. But, in order to use the boat to DHS, you have to actually enter the park and walk through it to get to that back entrance/exit.

Just one little fact to keep in mind - if you have one of those "oh, shucks" moments where the launch leaves the IG dock at EPCOT just as you arrive (i.e. the boat is still in sight), you can walk to the dock at the Yacht Club and catch up with it (it goes to the Boardwalk first, then the Yacht Club).
