Getting to US from Royal Pacific About This Page:

[jenifermg0]

Royal Pacific Resort is one of the US Hotels. Is it in walking distance or do they have buses/shuttles for the resort guests? Just trying to plan things out for our trip next year. We will have a car, but if we don't have to drive it/park it that would be great, but I really don't want to be at the mercy of a shuttle that may only leave a couple of times a day. I've heard that complaint about hotels that are not "on property" for either US or WDW. And if it's walking distance - approximately how far are we talking?

You won't need your car if you're staying at RP. You can walk to US, I'm guessing it's about a 15 min walk. Or you can take the water taxi, which will let you out at CityWalk and then you'll walk the short distance to US, about 5 minutes at the most.

RPR is closest to IOA, but not far from Universal. I'd definitely walk between the parks and the resort.

Thanks! I figured it was a quick walk/ride of some sort. We haven't completely decided where we are staying, but are leaning towards this for convenience (and the cost isn't bad either). We are planning a major trip (may end up being 14-16 days including travel days) that will include US, SW, (DH is seriously considering BG too), KSC, a 4 day Disney cruise and 4-6 days at WDW! I may not survive this trip!!! But what a way to go!!!!!!

A walk from RPR to Citywalk is around 10-15 minutes (or 10 at galloping speed). You can take the water taxi (which everyone takes) or the shuttle bus (which very few people take). I don't know if the shuttle bus is still offered, but try to use it, particularly during park opening or park closing. The water taxi gets very busy during those times.

I suppose you can drive from RPR to the parks, but then you'll have to park in the parking garages. A walk from the garage to the parks is about 10-15 minute anyway, so take the onsite transportation or use foot power. It'll be better in the long run.

Hi...My wife and I just stayed at Royal Pacific Resort and it was very easy to walk to the Park...I am in a wheelchair and it took approximately 12 minutes to go from the resort to the entrance to Adventure Island and 15 minutes to Univesal Studios...The boat can also be used but gets very crowded and sometimes you don't get on the next boat...So, to guarantee you get to the park in a timely manner, WALK!...The scenery is beautiful and the exercise is great!

Thanks for that info Jim!

Thanks for all the info. DH, DS and I have no issues with walking. We kind of like the "down time" to just enjoy the scenery and each other for a bit before and after being at the parks. It's great to know that we won't have to deal with the car those days.
