Can we walk to Cape May Cafe from Epcot?

[Mom+4]

I'm a little confused as to where Cape May Cafe is located, so please pardon me. Is it possible to walk from the entrance of Epcot to this restaurant? If so, how long does it take? If not, how do I get there? We will have a car, but I would prefer to walk if that is possible. TIA

Cape May Cafe is located in the Beach Club Resort - right off the main lobby. YES! You can absolutely walk there from EPCOT but you need to go out the 'back entrance' which is the entrance for the Epcot resorts - this is in the area of the different nations (by France) vs. the front entrance of Epcot.
It is a VERY short walk from Epcot to Beach Club - it's just you have to walk around part of the resort to get to the entrance/lobby area but very easy to walk! We stayed at BCV this past Sept. and went to a character breakfast at Cape May. Goofy and friends were lots of fun for the kids and the buffet was very nice! Was very convenient since we were staying there!

The back door at Epcot is called the International Gateway. Check an Epcot map when you're there. It could be easy to miss.

I second that, it's a nice walk through the International Gateway.

We stayed at the BCV in September. Cape Ma is excellent and is about a 5 min walk from the International Gateway, which is between UK and France..

If we are at Epcot for EMH and have a 10:00 at Cape May will they let us walk through to the International Gateway entrance even though the World Showcase doesn't open until 11:00? And what time would we want to start over if we want to get to our ADR around 9:45?

I believe so... Since the International Gateway is the primary entrance to Epcot from Beach Club / Yacht Club / Boardwalk. If I recall correctly for early morning they rope off from I.G. through England / Canada and then you enter Epcot proper.

Yes. They do allow people to enter the area of Wolrd Showcase from Future World and go as far as International Gateway. Everything will be closed in that area. Usually there is a CM controlling access from FW, but just say that you are going to the Beach Club.

If you left FW about 9:30 you should get to the Beach Club about 9:45.

Perfect--Thank you!!!!
