Indeed, as stated it's like 5 minutes. I forgot my camera at the Beach Club one morning when we were dining at the Princess Breakfast in Norway and realized it at the entrance to the park in International Gateway - I ran back to the room to get it and my wife said I was gone for 14 minutes! You can't beat the location of Beach Club.
My DH always says he can walk from our Villa at the BCV to the UK and have a beer in hand in less than 10 minutes.
It is a very nice walk and one of the main reasons that we love staying there.
We akways stay at the YC and one of my favorite things to do at WDW is walk to Epcot and enter through the IG. It is so close and convenient and the IG is like having your own private entrance into the park.
Thanks Everyone, this was very helpful. We have a princess breakfast scheduled for 10:15 and decided last minute to take my daughter to the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique before the breakfast. Just wanted to see the quickest way to get there and back.
I think we'll drive to DD since it's so early we shouldn't have a problem parking. Drive back and valet at BCV, then take the walkway. It seems to be the quickest way. I'm not a fast walker anymore - I have a really bad back - but even if I double your times to 10 minutes, we should be fine!
If you watch Illuminations from the bridge at France, you will find the BC is a shorter walk (or about the same) than if you watch Illuminations from the lake (straight out from SE) and have to walk to the bus stop. According to Google Earth anyway.

Yes that's our main reason too!! A beer for him in the UK & a glass of champagne from France for me & all the troubles of the real world just seem to disappear!!!
