It is a nice, fairly short boat ride or instead not a real long walk, although for us at a not overly ambitious pace, walking it is more like the 10 minutes mentioned above rather than the 5 or 7, also mentioned above. If this is your first stay at BWV, think of the Epcot area as everything at all the Epcot resorts is fairly easy to get to. If you start at any point A on the boardwalk and walk completely around the lake and return to point A, the distance is somewhat less than a mile. We have not done the breakfast at Cape May in quite a while but it was fine when we did; we still do the dinner (but no characters then) everytime we stay at BWV.
