Is RPH closest to get into IOA?

[Magic4UsZ's]

Trying to figure which hotel to book for our upcoming stay. Which one has the closest walk to get to IOA and how to get there? (walk?) never been there as you may can tell.

Thanks
Mindy

Yes, if you are walking, RPR is the closest to IOA.

If you're taking boats, all boats dock in the same place, right in between USF and IOA, so the *walk* is the same.

What is the quickest route to get into IOA from RPR?
Is it by walking a certain path?

There is pretty much just 1 path to get from RPR to IOA, it winds along the river. I love taking the walk over to the park in the morning, now in the evening I don't care if it is only about 5 minutes it feels like forever

I think Robo might have some maps that highlights the paths to the parks. You will like RPR, it is a very nice resort and our family always enjoys it.

The walking path from RPR is very nice.
Just follow it along the water and it brings you out at City Walk right by Margaritaville. Then just turn left and go straight to IOA.
We find walking to be faster than the water taxi. We do usually take the water taxi back to the RPR when we're tired from being in the parks.

I think someone measured once and HRH was actually closer but it was marginal.

Think of me as a poor man's Robo. This route starts at RPR's lobby, but depending on your room location the route from the northwest tower is quicker.

How loNg to walk it?

 

[damo]

About 10 minutes depending on how fast a walker you are.

Ooh, interesting. I can see it, though, now that I think about it.

 

[Brit_Jude]

Yep I think HRH is closer....definately closer to Studios

I also think HRH would be closer. Not by that much though, where your room is at RPR will make a 3-4 minute difference in a 10 min walk kwim? It's a very beautiful and nice walk. It's easy to find, you wont have any problems.

I measured on google maps:

HRH from pool to IOA entrance: 1876
RPR from valet to IOA entrance: 2015

So HRH is 139 ft shorter. So depending on your room it HRH could be longer or shorter to IOA.
