Yes it does!
Continuous Shuttle Service, during park hours, is provided when you stay at the Universal’s Endless Summer Resort, Dockside Inn and Suites. While there are multiple Shuttle services provided by Universal Resort, the only one connecting to the Dockside Inn and Suites is the Shuttle Bus service.

It is easy to hop on the bus, which will pick you up in front of the lobby at the Dockside Inn, and head over to the parks. Buses start arriving 1 hour before park opening and will return you to the Dockside Inn and Suites as late as 2 am. Shuttle buses typically arrive every 15 minutes.

Universal Shuttle Buses will drop you off at the City Walk drop-off spot. From here it is a fairly easy walk to get to the entrance of Islands of Adventure of Universal Studios.

Shuttle Buses also provide access to the Volcano Bay Water Park.

Can I walk to the Parks?

Yes, you can but you might want to stick to the Universal Shuttle Bus transportation instead. If you really do want to walk, just head out of the front of the Dockside Inn and Suites and take a right down Universal Blvd. At this point, you will have about a 1.2-mile trek across the Universal Blvd Bridge to make your say to City Walk.

Can I use the Water Taxi if I stay at the Dockside Inn and Suites?
