How long does it take to get from Animal Kingdom to Hollywood Studios?

The drive is approximately 5 miles, and should take about 9 minutes. It's worth noting here that you'll only pay to park at a Disney theme park once a day, meaning if you pay to park at Hollywood Studios and then drive to Animal Kingdom later, you won't need to pay for parking again.

To that point, we do not recommend only a half-day at DHS if you're a first-timer. Although there are a number of time-consuming stage shows without much repeatability, we usually do an entire day at Disney's Hollywood Studios even as WDW diehards. DHS is most definitely a full-day park, just to be clear.

You can absolutely purchase a single-day park ticket to visit both Disney's Hollywood Studios and EPCOT. You'll need to add the Park Hopper Option to your ticket in order to visit both parks in one day.

You can absolutely do this, but you won't get to go on most of the good rides. Animal kingdom is only a half day park anyway, so start there and then do Magic Kingdom after. For the next day I'd start early in HS and then take the sky ride thing over to EPCOT.

Most people advise focusing on just one park—usually the classic Disneyland. This isn't a bad idea as there's so much to see (especially now Star Wars land has opened), but we decided to squeeze them both in. We discovered that yes, it is possible to visit both Disneyland and California Adventure in one day.

In general, you can expect the Skyliner to begin running about an hour before EPCOT and Disney's Hollywood Studios open, and to stop running about an hour after those parks close, but there is significant variability in this.

While Disney has found ways to extend the fun into the afternoon and evening hours, most of the animals viewed here are far more active, and therefore visible, in the morning. I strongly recommend you arrive at the park at opening time, or as soon afterwards as possible, to maximize your visit.

Full day park if you want to do everything & savor it. With good crowds, and doing almost everything, Animal Kingdom is like a 85% of your day park. Magic Kingdom is like a day and a half park.
