Fastest way to Downtown Disney from Hollywood Studios?

[DannyDisneyFreak]

If I am planning on leaving HS and going to Raglan Road in DTD what is my fastest route there? I want to know how much time to figure in to make sure we are on time for our ADR.

as busses do not travel between DTD and any of the 4 parks. You could:

1. Walk/boat to Boardwalk or Beach Club and catch the DTD bus from there.

2. Take the Saratoga Springs bus from DHS and walk to DTD from there. Robo has great maps somewhere around here showing exactly where to get off at SSR and where the walkway is. Sorry I don't have a link for you but someone will chime in with it I'm sure.

3. Take a cab.

If you use options 1 or 2, I'd allow 1 1/2 hrs to do it. Probably won't take that long but if you just miss each connection, it could.

Any idea how much a cab would cost there for 2 and how long?

Fastest is a cab. I'd expect it to cost ~$10 plus tip. The ride is probably about 10 minutes.

people talk about $10 cab rides at WDW but I was at Epcot & needed to pick DD up at the rehearsal studio around the corner from AKL & it cost me $22 plus tip. Cabs at WDW are not cheap!! Yes, time is precious on vacation but I don't think I'd use a cab unless it was an emergency (and yes, my trip was an emergency as DD's ride never showed up & we didn't have a car)

If it were me, I'd take option #2, bus to Saratoga Springs Resort so you only have to wait for 1 mode of transportation & I hear the walk to DTD is really nice and only about 10 minutes. Robo usually hangs out on the Park Strategies board so if you go there & give him a shout out, he would probably post the map I mentioned for you.

According to Mears taxi fare estimator, it would be $26. This will be the fastest option by far.

How about a "two-for-one" sale?

Thanks Robo! Give him a hand everybody!

Each time I took a cab from YC to DTD it was at least $14 (before tip). I would expect from DHS to DTD it would be about the same.
