Wanted to know the best and fastest way to go from Disney Springs (Downtown Disney) to Hollywood Studios. Ideally would take Disney transportation but if too long may just cab it. Wanted to know based on others experiences what was the best way and also how long it took.

TIA!

We were on a DTD bus that stopped at the Swan and Dolphin and a huge crowd got off at the Swan bus stop of the two resorts and started walking to DHS from there. It is probably a fifteen minute walk to DHS from there. It would be a longer walk from the BW, YC. or BC but still less than 1/2 hour.

Good point. Small nit to pick though. The walk from BW to DHS would be shorter than from the Swolphin because from those resorts you have to walk past BW on your way to DHS.

If the boat for Hollywood Studios is just getting to or at the Boardwalk dock then you could take that instead of walking. But, time wise, some folks could walk to DHS faster if the weather was not that hot.

Hopefully there will soon be illuminated signs at the Disney Springs (DTD) bus station that would give the wait time for the Boardwalk bus and help you decide whether to take a taxi (fastest of them all) instead.

I thought about the BW bus but then I remembered that the BW bus stop is at the far end of the resort while the Swan bus stop is right on the water. So even though the BW resort is closer, the bus stop is not. But bottom line, I would probably grab the first Epcot bus I saw. :)

The boat for Hollywood Studios goes from the BW to the YC to the Swan/Dolphin, so any of the Epcot resort buses would work if you plan to take the boat. :)
 
Thanks all -- must admit I'm a bit confused (maybe it's post new year's brain). Are you recommending taking a bus from Disney Springs to Epcot and then a bus from Epcot to DHS? Is there a boat that goes directly from Disney Springs to DHS?? Sorry if I'm not getting it...

There is no bus from DS to Epcot. Personally I would hop on a Pop or AofA bus at DS (whichever comes first) then take the bus to HS.

No, that's not at all what we are saying. People are suggesting that you take a bus from Disney Springs to one of the Epcot Resorts (Boardwalk) and then the boat or walk to DHS.

No there is no boat (or bus) that goes directly from Disney Springs to DHS.
 
A cab is going to take a lot less time!! I drove from BW and was astonished to see how short the drive really is!! About 15 mins from BW to DS!!!
If you don't want to take a cab, I would take bus to BW (when I was there earlier this month, BW's stop at DS was right next to walkway to the Marketplace) and then walk to DHS. The walk is about 15 mins.
