Can you walk between EPCOT and Hollywood Studios?

Disney's Hollywood Studios and EPCOT are two of my favorite parks. I actually like to explore both parks in one day and them being so close together makes this especially easy. I think you'll be happy to know that you can still absolutely walk from Disney's Hollywood Studios over to EPCOT or vice versa if you prefer.



Yes, you can absolutely walk between EPCOT and Disney's Hollywood Studios via a dedicated, scenic pedestrian path. This walkway connects the International Gateway entrance of EPCOT (located between the United Kingdom and France pavilions in the World Showcase) to the front entrance of Hollywood Studios. The total distance is approximately 1.2 miles, and the walk typically takes between 20 and 30 minutes, depending on your pace. The path is paved and follows the canal, passing by several Disney Resort hotels, including the BoardWalk Inn and the Yacht & Beach Club. It is a fantastic option if you want to avoid waiting for the Disney Skyliner or the Friendship Boats, especially during peak park-hopping hours. However, it is important to note that this path only connects to the "back" of EPCOT; if you are at the front entrance near Spaceship Earth, you would first need to walk through the entire park to reach the International Gateway to start your trek toward Hollywood Studios.
