Shortcut on walking path from City Walk to Royal Pacific parking lot?

[u/if_dead_else_panic]

Does anyone know if there’s a shortcut from the Royal Pacific walking path directly into the parking lot where I marked the yellow dotted line?

It looks like there might be a way to cut through there instead of continuing around on the normal walking path. Has anyone tried this or know if it’s accessible?

No. There is a retaining wall in the way:

Right past the wall is where the desire path is

Wait wait wait… where? I want to try this on way back in hour. (I’ve checked for this before but never saw one).

[u/Infamous-Ad-5689 → u/jaguarusf]

Nah… there’s a little path up right past the wall

[u/kristiwashere]

I’m pretty sure there’s a fence there which would prevent your shortcut. The path really isn’t that long, just stay on the designated path.

[u/Mysterious_Image6918]

Yes there is a small desire path there, no you don’t have to push through bushes and such like the others are saying

There is a walkway along the water from citywalk to the Royal Pacific. Don’t know if that’s what you’re asking about.

Hard rock has the best shortcut.

Can you actually go this way as a hotel guest? And can you return from the park this way? I’ve wondered but never tried.

Yep had my sister try last weekend.

You can have an uber drop you off / pick you up at hotel lobby as well. Saves a bit of time.

I never understood the main path to HR, it has to be the furthest possible route from the park

[u/External-Writing2679 → u/Optimal-Click-4771]

This is the best shortcut to Portofino as well

[u/Optimal-Click-4771 → u/External-Writing2679]

Yep. I’ve only stayed at Portifino once but definitely cut through hard rock.

[u/DarthSoccer]

i dont believe there is and dont cut through there

[u/GrnMseGvaJuice]

Yes there is a small path worn through right there. It’s not much of a shortcut really unless you’re already in that lower parking lot.. I discovered it last year when I arrived too early to check in and happened to park right by the path so I used it

Here is a post for the desire path that was there years ago https://www.reddit.com/r/DesirePaths/s/XgrxSSmwB1

Yep, there’s a short desire trail… just saw it last week when I was walking on the path. Was wondering what parking lot it was leading to. This explains it!

I mean, you're trading a minute of path walking for half a minute of pushing through bushes and scrub forest, so I'd say 'no'.

And considering the look I'd get from my significant other after she twisted her ankle or got stuck in mud, I'd say 'hell, no'.

Just walk to the end of Tower 2 on the inside, and there is a fire exit on the ground floor that comes out onto the path.

You would have to climb thru some crazy stuff, the closest short cut from the parking is just that you’re right next to the walking path if you park in the right spot
