What resort is close to Disney MGM?

[FairyDust2008]

I'm trying to plan for things from a resort that are in close proximity to Disney MGM. Can someone let me know what resort/resorts are near DISNEY MGM so I can plan accordingly? Thanks so much

CSR is 5 mins away by bus. The Boardwalk, Swan/Dolphin and the Y&BC are just a boat ride away.

The Epcot resorts -BWI, Y&BC, S&D- are all within boat/walking distance from DHS (new name for MGM is Disney Hollywood Studios).

If you are concerned about travel time, stay at either the Boardwalk, Yacht or Beach, Swan or Dolphin. From those hotels you can actually walk to either epcot or MGM. Its only a 10 minute walk to epcot, a little longer to MGM 20-30 minutes, but the boat ride to MGM is about 20-30 minutes.

I am so confused I lost count on all your threads...
I thought you chose Poly over AKL CL?

The boat ride takes FOREVER though. It's probably faster to walk.

I think it will always be MGM to us.

We like staying at the BWV because we walk to and from the studios. So this one is the closest without taking a bus or car too.

Boardwalk is the 'closest'....it's about a 20 min walk, if you walk at a normal pace. If there is a boat loading as you get to the dock, then it will take you about 25 mins to get to BW...the boat stops at S/D first, then YC/BC, then BW. Then it goes on to Epcot. If you have to wait for a boat, it can be a longish wait. The boats seem to arrive every 20 mins or so.
S/D, YC/BC are also in the same area...close to Epcot as well as DHS (MGM).

It's always been "the Studios" to me. That's what we all called it when I was on the College Program way back when the park was still brand new

The boat ride takes FOREVER though. It's probably faster to walk.

It's not that bad, 20-25 minutes depending where you get on. The walk isn't bad either, (about the same amount of time) especially if you miss the boat and don't want to wait for the next one.

If you are using Disney transportation CBR is very close to Hollywood Studios.

Yeah, I guess you do keep tabs on my threads Anyhow, I'm staying at the Poly. I was just trying to book ADR's and was trying to find some resorts that were close to Hollywood Studios so we could possibly pick dining options at those resorts, not staying there. I don't much care for the choices really for dining at Hollywood and it seems that through my research, the resorts have the better dining options really for some part.

I should have made my post more clearer, LOL I guess I didn't word it the right way It is all good

I dont like the dining choices at MGM or whatever they want to call it either. Spoodles on the boardwalk is a good option or anywhere in Epcot because it is not that far from the back door to Epcot. I dont care for the clambake at Beach Club but that would be close too. We love FF but that is 2 credits on the dining plan. If you have hopper passes maybe pick someplace in in Epcot like LeCellar or Chefs or Coral Reef. Hope that helps.

Quite the contrary, I do not keep tabs on your threads
Anyone who visits the Resort Threads Forum, or perhaps posted on one of your threads about choosing a resort, would have noticed. I just simply commented

I do agree that the dining choices are limited at Studios, and also agree that your dining options are far better at the resorts nearby, especially on the Boardwalk! Good Luck
