The walk from the HRH to Universal Studios is quicker and closer them taking the boat. If you walk out the gate by the outdoor restaurant it takes you on a path to the parking lot. Its about a 2 minute walk to the park from there. The boat is on the other end of the resort and it drops you off in front of Nascar rest. in CityWalk...Mark
I had to use an ECV last summer and I found that the walk way was much quicker than the boats but he can use the boats. I just found it a real hassle. With the walkway I was usually at the parks before my party was that waited for the boat. HTH
