How long is boat ride from Boardwalk to Hollywood Studios?

How long is the boat ride from Disney's Boardwalk Inn to Hollywood Studios? You can expect to be at Hollywood Studios about 20-25 minutes after the boat leaves the Boardwalk. Please be aware that on your way, you will make TWO more stops before eventually getting to the theme park.



The Friendship boat ride from Disney's BoardWalk Inn to Disney's Hollywood Studios typically takes between 15 and 20 minutes once you are on board. However, the total travel time can be longer because the boat is a "shared" service. Depending on the direction of travel, the boat may stop at the Beach Club/Yacht Club pier and the Swan and Dolphin hotels before reaching Hollywood Studios. Including wait times at the dock, which can be up to 20 minutes if you just missed a boat, the entire process often takes 30 to 40 minutes. For those in a hurry, the walking path from the BoardWalk to the entrance of Hollywood Studios is often faster, usually taking a brisk 15 to 20 minutes on foot, or you can take the Disney Skyliner from the nearby International Gateway if you are coming from the EPCOT side.

Post times if you have them. Clearly it is the Skyliner. The Skyliner is ongoing and you barely have to wait. For the Friendship boats, you may have to wait up to 20 minutes, so I would say the Skyliner is definitely quicker to get from Hollywood Studios to Epcot.
