I will be going from AK to an ADR at the Biergarten. I'm trying to determine the shortest walking distance, not necessarily the fastest.

I was thinking it would be less walking to take a bus to HS then a boat to the International Gateway in Epcot.

What does anyone think? And how much time do you think I should allow?

Thanks so much!!
 
just mapped it and it's .5 miles walking from Int'l Gateway to Biergarten and a bit over .7 miles from Epcot entrance to Biergarten. I would take a bus to either HS or one of the Epcot resorts, from AK, and then boat to IG.

I would allow at least 90 minutes, honestly.

Thanks so much!! How do you map walking distances? I would love to do that.

It looks like a much shorter walk from Int'l G to Biergarten than only .2 mi difference from entrance.

It is a good idea to take a bus to one of the Epcot resorts also. If we walked, I think Beach Club is the closest? I wonder how long of a walk from there to Biergarten.
 
Options if you don't want to do too much walking: Take the bus from AK to the Yacht Club, walk through the lobby to the boat dock and take the Friendship Boat to Epcot's Int'l Gateway (it will go across Crescent Lake to the Boardwalk before going to Epcot). The boat dock is closer to the YC than the Beach Club which is why I recommend getting off here if you want to take the boat.

or

Take the bus from AK to the Boardwalk Inn, walk through the lobby to the boat dock and take the Friendship boat to Epcot

or

Take the bus from AK to DHS, walk across to the boat dock and take the Friendship boat to Epcot' Int'l Gateway. Because the boat stops at the Epcot resorts it will take approximately 30 minutes to get to Epcot.

If you want to walk: Take the bus to the Beach Club, walk through the lobby and out to the path to Epcot's Int'l Gateway.
