I'm staying at RPR for the first time and I was wondering if there was a shortcut to the parks/Citywalk like the pool shortcut at HRH (where I stayed last time)?
IOA is on the other side of Hollywood Way from RPR and the walk is along the waterway like the HRH waterway walk only under a bridge. Going to IOA the walk could be faster than the boat, but to US I'd bet on the boat.
If I remember correctly, we walked around the pool to the right, took the path to the right of the water slide, exited a small gate, walked along the left of the parking lot and took side walk to universal studios. I believe it took less than 5 minutes.
