2020 & 2021 Walt Disney World® Tickets & Hotels Now Available! 
We offer the best rates available. 
Walt Disney World is a big place! With four theme parks, two water parks, the Disney Springs shopping and entertainment center and more than 25 hotels, it can be tough to choose where and how to get where you want to go. Luckily, you can get almost anywhere within the resort using free transportation. This is especially hopful if you're staying on-site at a Disney Resort hotel, which we toadally recommend. But even if you're staying off-site and have a Park Hopper ticket, you can use the free buses, monorails and more to leap from park to park. Today, we're looking at the free transportation options to and from Disney's Hollywood Studios. (Currently, transportation options may be limited due to park hopping being temporarily unavailable during Disney World's initial reopening phase. For more information about what you need to know when visiting Disney's Hollywood Studios, hop to our full guide here!)
This park, which celebrates the magic of movie-making, television and theater, is home to Fantasmic!, Toy Story Mania and The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. Disney's Hollywood Studios is also the new home of Star Wars Land, Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, which is welcoming travelers to Batuu. Knowing all of the Hollywood Studios complimentary transportation options can save you time, especially now that Galaxy's Edge is open.
Ready to Hitch a Ride to Hollywood Studios on Skyliner?
The new Disney Skyliner, a sky-high gondola transportation system, has been up and running for a year now, and it includes a stop at Hollywood Studios. It connects EPCOT and Hollywood Studios with Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort, Disney's Pop Century Resort and Disney's Art of Animation Resort. However, there is no direct line between EPCOT and Disney's Hollywood Studios. You'll have to hop off and transfer lines at the Caribbean Beach station. It's about a 12-minute ride from EPCOT to Caribbean Beach and a five-minute ride from Caribbean Beach to Hollywood Studios (don't froget to account for extra transfer time).
