How to Uber/Lyft to DHS?

[EMHDad]

Is there signage for the walkway? I've zoomed in, but I'm not seeing anything that says "Hey!!!! This is the way to Hollywood Studios!!" LOL!

I went on Google maps and it looked pretty easy to see the path. When i get to the bridge that you would turn and walk under you have gotten to the part where all of the resort guests go to get to HS

If it helps, print this but it's pretty easy to recognized. Just make sure you are on the Boardwalk ride of the road as if you are planning to walk to Swan & Dolphin and take the path to the right just before the overpass.

When you get here, take a left and it will take you past the Skyliner station and to the front of HS

Any suggestion for what time to plan to arrive at DHS when walking? Park opens at 10a.

We rode over from Universal, so we left at 7:30. If you hit the Swan at 8am, you will be in line for HS at 8:15

Thanks so much @yulilin3 - that video is so helpful! I really appreciate you taking the time to do this for us. I am used to walking from a parking garage to the gates at Disneyland - this looks to be not much different concept or time. I feel very confident now - looking forward to my December trip!

this gas station is a popular meeting place for CM friends and family that are going to be passed into the parks so seeing people coming and going without any purchase is not new to them

Thanks. I'm happy to know this!

@yulilin3, why not walk from Speedway directly to the sidewalk along E. Buena Vista Dr. and cross at the traffic light at Epcot Resorts Blvd.? On satellite view it looks like there's a pedestrian crosswalk there (I don't think there are pedestrian signals, though), and on your video it looks like there are wheelchair ramps as well. Is crossing from the back entrance to Speedway across to the Boardwalk entrance safer due to traffic volume?

They took it out, it's all grass now, i think it's safer the way i went although it adds maybe a minute to the walk

Thanks, I didn’t know they had taken it out. It would have been nice to have a pedestrian crosswalk with lights there.

What a nice thing for you to do just to show people how to walk there, when you weren’t going there yourself

If I may pop on here: Would it be possible to park at the gas station for rope drop and then retrieve it after 10am to park in HS parking lot?

Edit- Car in question would be my car since we are driving to WDW for our trip.

There are not very many parking spaces at the gas station.

Thats what I do, I don't find it any less safe. The biggest issue is the dew from the morning grass may get your feet wet but thats it.

It's not a viable option for parking your car and walking but more of a ride share drop off location.

 

[HiStitch626]

I agree. Someone had asked about parking there and walking to the studios.

So, has the sidewalk along E. Buena Vista in front of the Speedway been removed? And wheelchair ramps?
