I think that 9 times out of 10, walking from Swan/Dolphin to DHS and Epcot is always faster than skyliner/car/boat/bus since there are no variables that could really slow down your walk. All that said, a boat or skyliner could beat two feet but it's definitely not as common.I'm helping a friend figure out transportation to and from the Dolphin. They will have a car, but I'm thinking walking to HS and Epcot will be easier. They have parkhoppers so if they drive to one park, I hate to have them have to figure out how to get back to their car vs. just taking skyliner, bus, etc to the next park. What is the best way to tell them to make rope drop for EP/HS? Walk or boat? And then MK/AK are there direct buses to those places, should they walk to Boardwalk/Beach Club and hop a bus there? I've never even been in the Swan/Dolphin complex so any help you all can give me would be great! They will have a car so if driving to some of those places would be best, thats fine too, just remember they have the hoppers and are planning to use them, so that complicates the driving situation!
As far a going to MK and AK, if they plan to hop, they may want their car for hopping and that would alleviate their how to get to those parks question. I believe they will get free parking at the parks staying at swan/dolphin. They just have to show their key card at the lot.
If they do take a bus, they can use the buses at Swan and Dolphin or hop on the YC/BC/BW buses.
