Debating between taking the boat vs. skyliner between HS and Epcot. It would be late afternoon in May. Do the boats run often? Are the waits usually long for the skyliner? Is everyone allowed to use it? How long is travel time?
Based on this, walking will be fastest. Boat will probably be a similar time to skyliner under most circumstances. Boats run about every 20 minutes, so assume a 10 minute wait and 20 minute ride.
I like to look and see if the boat line is long as I exit HS. If it doesn’t turn the corner on the dock, you should make it on the next boat. If the line turns the corner or I see that a boat is just leaving, I walk.
Yeah… we only took the skyliner for the novelty of it. When we realized we were coming back around by Tower of Terror again before we reached Epcot we understood how silly it is to use that as park-to-park transportation.
