Several of the "Deluxe" and "Deluxe Villa" resorts in the Epcot Resort Area are accessible via a relaxing boat ride from Disney's Hollywood Studios. The primary transportation is the FriendShip Boat service, which operates on a continuous loop around Crescent Lake. The specific resorts served by these boats are Disney's BoardWalk Inn, Disney's Yacht Club Resort, Disney's Beach Club Resort, and the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Hotels. The boat dock at Hollywood Studios is located just outside the main entrance to the left. The journey is scenic and offers a unique view of the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror from the water. Depending on which resort you are heading to, the ride takes between 15 and 25 minutes, with stops usually made at the Swan/Dolphin first, then the Yacht/Beach Club, and finally the BoardWalk before the boat continues to Epcot. In 2026, many guests still prefer this "water taxi" for its leisurely pace and the fact that it drops you off very close to the resort lobbies, making it a much more pleasant alternative to the bus system during the humid Florida afternoons.
