Is there a boat between Epcot and Hollywood Studios?

EPCOT and Disney's Hollywood Studios These parks are accessible via the FriendShip Boat from the following locations: Disney's BoardWalk Villas. Disney's Beach Club Villas. Disney's Yacht Club Resort.



Yes, there is a very popular boat service known as the Friendship Boats that connects EPCOT and Disney's Hollywood Studios. The route traverses the Crescent Lake area, making stops at the BoardWalk Resort, the Yacht & Beach Club Resorts, and the Swan & Dolphin Hotels along the way. The entire journey from park to park takes approximately 25 to 30 minutes. While the Disney Skyliner (gondolas) is technically faster for this specific park-to-park transit, many guests prefer the Friendship Boats for their relaxing, air-conditioned atmosphere and the scenic views of the resort architecture. The boats typically run every 15 to 20 minutes, starting about 30 minutes before park opening and continuing until one hour after park closing. It is a fantastic option for guests who want to "park hop" without the exertion of walking the 1.2-mile path that also connects the two parks, offering a tranquil mid-day break from the hustle and bustle of the theme park crowds.

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.
