Can we take a boat from EPCOT to BC?

Can we take a boat from the gateway at EPCOT to the BC if we are not staying at BC. We have reservations at the Clambake there at 5:30 and would like to be able to cut thru rather than take the bus around.
Thanks, Terriann

you may take the boat.

Yes you can! You can also take it from Epcot to the Boardwalk or Epcot to MGM. I love the friendship launches.

There is also a walking path that is usually faster than taking the Friendships.

We stayed at the BC this past Sept and found it quicker to walk to Epcott

I would wager that the distance walking from where you get on the boat to the BC is shorter than where you get off the Boat at the YC/BC dock to the BC. If you are looking for fewer steps just walk, don't do the boat.

FYI - there is no bus from the front of Epcot to the Epcot Resorts. I agree that walking would be quicker, the boat will stop at Boardwalk first.

I too would definitely recommend walking vs taking the boat. The dock for the boat is a further walk down by the YC resort, and the walk from Epcot to the BC is really quick!

Another vote for walking! Even though it's nice to take a boat, very relaxing, once you get off & have to hike from the lighthouse to the beach club, you'll say why didn't we just walk in the first place?
