Can you walk to Swan and Dolphin from the Skyliner?

All of these Resorts access Hollywood Studios via a path that runs past the bus stops and Skyliner station en route to the main entrance. BoardWalk Inn is the closest at about 3/4 mile from the entrance of Hollywood Studios. Swan, Swan Reserve, and Dolphin are about a mile away by foot.



Yes, you can walk to the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin resorts from the Disney Skyliner, though it requires a bit of a trek. The closest Skyliner station is the International Gateway at EPCOT. From that station, you exit the gondola and walk toward the Disney BoardWalk area. You will pass the BoardWalk Inn and the Yacht & Beach Club resorts before reaching the Swan and Dolphin. The walk takes approximately 15 to 20 minutes (about 0.7 miles) along a scenic, paved waterfront path. Alternatively, if your feet are tired, you can board one of the FriendShip boats at the International Gateway dock, which makes stops at the BoardWalk and Yacht Club before docking directly at the Swan and Dolphin. This is a great way to enjoy the "EPCOT resort area" vibe while using Disney’s newest transportation system.
