How to get to Boardwalk....

What is the best way via bus to get from Art of Animation to the Boardwalk for the character breakfast at Trattaria al Forno?

This is a good tool to figure out how to get around WDW:

According to this, you would take a bus to HS and then walk to the Boardwalk. I believe it's a 20-30 minute walk. You may be better off taking an Uber from AOA to the Boardwalk.

You can take a bus to Hollywood Studios and then either take a boat or walk to the Boardwalk. It is about a 15 minute nice walk. The oats run about every 20 minutes. Walking is often quicker.
An Lyft or Uber would be most direct and quickest

The best way is Uber.

What time is your breakfast?

Using Disney transportation, I'd take a bus to DHS then boat or walk to Boardwalk. I love the boat, haven't tried the walk.

Most efficient is going to be private transportation - like Uber, taxi - or Minnie Van if they're serving AOA.

Sorry, I'm being redundant.

Uber or cab!! It's not expensive and so much faster.

If you bus to DHS and then head toward the boat dock, you can quickly decide if you will be better off walking to the BW by doing a visual check. If the boat is already loading or has just left the dock, consider walking. If you see a boat approaching from under the bridge toward the BW, the boat may be a reasonable choice. The main issue is that the boat makes two stops prior to getting to the BW, at the Swan/Dolphin and at the Yacht and Beach Clubs. The walk is generally more direct and quicker. Also, it’s a pretty good walk from the bus drop off to the boat dock itself while the walkway to thw BW starts adjacent to the bus drop off area. In the time it takes to walk to the boat dock at DHS, you could be one-third of the way to the BW.

FWIW, unless someone in your group needs to walk slowly, the walk from Hollywood Studios is closer to 20-minutes, not 30.

You can also just take the boat from DHS to Swan/Dolphin then take the easy walk over the canal bridge to the Boardwalk. Absolutely don't stay on the boat after Swan/Dolphin because it goes to Yacht/Beach Club next and then 'backtracks' to the Boardwalk.
