How Long to Walk to Parks from Royal Pacific?

[hill6]

We are looking at booking a room for May. How long a walk is it from the Royal Pacific to the parks? I see the boats only run every 30 minutes.

Thanks for your input.

Boats run far more frequently than every 30 minutes.

In September if we just missed one there was another almost instantaneously..........

Walking takes around 6 minutes on the walking path that takes you out at Margaritaville. A moment or so may be be added with the security check.

Turn left for IOA or head right and another couple of minutes will take you through Citywalk to the entrance to The Studios.

Fwiw it's never been that fast for us. It's not long, but boats have never come one right after the other, and it takes us more than 6 minutes.

We've timed it at 7 walking at our normal theme walk parking pace.

We times ourselves and from the elevator door beside the pool at RP to Margaritaville it took 6 minutes average each time.......people were asking so we timed it. Goes without saying everyone's walking pace will vary. I don't think we walk particularly fast either.

As for boats maybe we've just been lucky......think the longest we ever waited was ten minutes once a few years ago when it was middle of the day and considered a quiet time by the boat captains, but yes, usually one is just around the corner. Certainly not anywhere near the thirty minutes OP was quoting.

Our experience of course.

It's 6 minutes for me when I walk it with schumi
She sets the pace and I have shorter legs than her

When I walk solo, my walk is 7 minutes

In all the years I have used the water taxi, never longer than a short ten minute wait for me

Only issue I had in October was the red light held us up when the SFalls water taxi had the green light to go thru

Thanks for all the input. Will be booking the RP. It is too good a deal to pass up.

It is a great hotel. We stayed there in November for a pre-cruise Universal visit, and liked it so much when we got home from the cruise I cancelled our booking at Cabana Bay for a February vacation at Universal and re-booked at RP. Loved the express pass too!

Thanks for that info. I did book RP. Can't wait. We loved the express pass last year when we stayed at Hard Rock
