Before asking another questions... I have to say - those chairs are going to give me nightmares!
Anyways - I figured people here would have the best answers. This fall we are staying in mid November. My daughter is now 7, and this will be our first trip where I'm not planning on using or renting any strollers. We've never stayed at the boardwalk before. I stayed at the BC years and years ago and I know the walk to Epcot isnt bad. Exactly how far is the walk to HS for little legs? I've never done this walk before. We usually rent our own car, but we've always stayed Value or offsite before so it made sense then. Now since we're so close to so many parks, I figured renting a car probably isnt necessary and we should just utilize the Magic Express. I also dont want to completely wipe out my little one either. I know I read that there are ferries available - what would people's recommendations be? We'll be doing a ton of walking anyway - so a walk isnt the problem, I'm just thinking late night walking back etc. I should have mentioned too that I'd like to avoid buses as much as possible too (just personal preference, of all things they cause me motion sickness). Thanks
From the Luna Park Pool to the turnstiles at HS is 3/4 of a mile and takes about 15-18 minutes at a leisurely pace. If you're not in a hurry, I would take the boat. After getting on at the Boardwalk, you will stop at BC/YC and then at the Swan/Dolphin before continuiing on to HS. Those stops take longer than you would expect. Although the boat ride is lovely, it just takes longer than walking.
