BWV to parks

[nutty4wdw]

can you walk from the BWV to the studio's and epcot. how long is the walk

also is there a bus to these parks or just a launch

The walk to Epcot is probably 5 to 10 min. DHS would be more like 10 to 15, depending on where you exit BWV (the quiet pool area would be the closest to DHS). There are no busses from BWV to Epcot or DHS, just the boat.

Also, while there is a boat you can take from BW to Epcot, its faster to just walk. Going to the Studio you can take the boat and it may be faster than walking, but it really isn't quick since you first stop at the Yacht Club and the Swolphin before going to the Studio.

It is much quicker to walk to the Studios and Epcot than to take the boat. As others have said, you can be at Epcot in about 5 min. and the Studios in about 15 min. We have walked to both for years now and always are ahead of the boats that are loading at the S/D when we start out for the Studios. We have also made it to Epcot before the boat that was loading at BW.

I have left the dock area at about the same time as the boat. I got to Epcot bag check as the boat was unloading. It's pretty close to even timewise.
But, going to DHS is a whole different story....my friend and I just missed boarding the boat at Intl Gateway to DHS....the pilots laughed at us and told us they would beat us to DHS..told them that wasn't going to happen!! Yes, they got to BW about 30 seconds before we did, but they then had to go to YC/BC, then to S/D. We didn't see them again until we headed to bag check at DHS..they were just coming around the bend towards DHS. I would say we beat them by 5-8 mins.
The walk to Epcot's International Gateway from BW is about 8-10 mins. The walk to DHS is about 15-20...depending on where you leave BW from and your walking pace.
